“The church in Corinth was a gifted church. Paul describes it as a church that came short in no gift. However, this most gifted church also had the gift of problems. Issues commonly seen throughout the life of Christianity since its birth until today. One particular issue plaguing this Grecian church was the idea of exalting particular spiritual gifts above others. The idea that the gift of tongues served as the supreme revelation of the Holy Spirit in the believer’s life carries on until today. 1 Corinthians 12 was penned to unearth this misunderstanding. But even more critical was the message that rang through that regardless of the gift given by the Spirit to the believer, it was the same Spirit.”
