Sometimes the Lord speaks into the middle of our worship and challenges us with a word we had not come planning to hear. St. Paul prepares us for the sort of orderly (even though somewhat spontaneous) and edifying layering of liturgical, scriptural, and charismatic worship we experienced this Sunday in 1 Corinthians 14:26-33. Indeed, we this week we experienced “a hymn, a lesson, a revelation, a tongue, an interpretation,” and we have been throughout the week, as Paul says we should be, edified by what the Lord has spoken to us. Now, this sort of worshipful and prophetic moment within a service can seem a bit messy and emotional at times for those unused to them. That’s why we rely on the discernment of the body of Christ to bear witness to what is said in the Lord’s name. My temptation after the fact is to clean up the audio for those who weren’t with us. But that wouldn’t be honest. If you listen to the “Full Service” file this week, you’ll hear (right in the middle of the sung worship) a bit of our heart toward the Lord and his challenge back to us. It’s messy, maybe even embarassing – not every Christian believes that 1 Corinthians 14:13 still applies - but very much the sort of thing we seek God for at Redeemer. Be blessed.   – Paul+
