Part 18 of the Church in the World: Studies in 1 Corinthians – Christian worship involves all of life (cf. Rom. 12:1,2), but it is also a partic­ular corporate activity of Christians when we gather together before God, in the name of Jesus Christ, in the power of the Holy Spirit. In our passage this morning, Paul instructs us about some of the principles that ought to guide our gatherings and our understanding of Christian worship.
