1 Corinthians 14:1–20 Tongues Speaking Part 1

In this expository study of 1 Corinthians 14:1–20, Paul establishes that the edification of the church is the governing principle for every public ministry. This message demonstrates that biblical tongues were real human languages requiring interpretation—not the unintelligible speech promoted by the modern Charismatic movement. Through Paul's teaching, practical illustrations, and the context of 1 Corinthians 12–14, discover why prophecy—the clear proclamation of God's Word—takes priority over tongues, why understanding is essential for true edification, and why the temporary sign gifts passed away with the completion of God's written revelation.
