The pattern God has provided in God’s order for worship
You find one important example of the pattern God has provided in God’s order for worship.
When you may come together, each has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification. . . . you are all able to prophesy one by one ~ 1 Corinthians 1:26 & 31
Each member has a psalm, teaching, revelation, tongue, interpretation, or prophecy. While the 26th verse is a key verse, let the Holy Spirit speak to you about it and show you how it fits into the entire chapter. The church service isn’t a place of entertainment. It’s not something you watch. You are a ministry in that service, and God has given you the task of building up your brother and sister in Christ. In this place of ministry, you develop your spiritual senses. God is now working to awaken the church to His ways. Most churches don’t allow you to follow the pattern of Scripture. This continues because most Christians are still looking for a comfortable place to be a little religious without dying to the sinful flesh. And yet, God is asking you to break out of the forms, rituals, and entertainments of the past.
