Paul starts to talk about spiritual gifts in this passage. Spiritual gifts are one of the things that some churches are divided over. But Paul emphasis how we should have unity over these gifts. Verse 4 shows this when he says "Yes there are different gift, but they are all from the same place, the same Spirit" (Jeff's version). In order for a church (or youth group) to be successful, everyone must participate with the gift that God has given them.
Now the end of this passage talks about speaking in tongues. Speaking in tongues is a very controversial topic for many churches and people. Some churches still practice speaking in tongues (you will know it when you walk int he door) and other churches do not practice speaking in tongues (which would include us).
Paul will continue this topic of speaking in tongues and we will try to uncover what it exactly means.
