1Cor 12:28 | MHM | STEP | v. 28 : Paul explains, “And God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, helping, administrating, and various kinds of tongues” . God has given a variety of roles to the church. Apostles, prophets, and teachers are meant to teach and guide the church in God’s truth. Other gifts, like healing and miracles, serve to help and encourage others. The Corinthians thought the gift of tongues was the most important, but Paul shows it is lower on the list because it is less useful for building up the church.
