Corinth was not your ideal church. It was a cliquey sort of church; there was a party-spirit of one-upmanship; there was jealousy and quarrelling; they were blase about immorality; they were boastful of their enlightened liberty; they were proud of their spiritual gifts; and they had perverted the Lord's Supper to such an extent that Paul says "this is not the Lord's Supper" - He is not here. This is the church Paul is addressing in this letter. I just want to pick up on one key verse - 1 Cor 14:26. Let's try to work out how God wants us to take this; what He wants us to do with it. Particularly this matter of there being a personal vocal contribution from a number of people in the congregation.
