A productive life in the Power of the Holy Spirit

In 1 Corinthians 14, Paul emphasizes that the priority of the Church should not simply be supernatural manifestations, but that there should be profit and advancement for the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.

The most important thing is that there is fruit, progress, advancement, and strengthening of the Kingdom of God.
