“Men pray everywhere..” - leading in prayer was a man’s job, a symbol of patriarchal authority
“woman learn in silence with all submission” - in a public occasion, indicative of respect to man’s headship

Divine Order of the Communion
Paul clearly received instructions from Jesus Christ concerning the Lord’s Supper

1 Cor 11.27-28
Those who eat unworthily will be judged
1 Cor 11.29-32
Those who eat the Lord’s supper must learn to wait for one another
1 Cor 11.33-34
Divine Order of Spiritual Gifts
the Body of Christ has “many members”
all the members are appointed according to their “gifts”
Each member should function according to their respective gift or gifts
Gifts are used for edification, not for self-vested interests
1 Cor 14.12
Divine Order of Service
Do all things for edification - v. 26
Edification of the body is the foremost reason in coming together
Order in the service is achieved by
doing things in turn (v.
27)
keeping silent if necessary (v.
28-30)
mutual submission (v.
31-32)
Order brings peace - v. 33
Conclusion
The Purpose of Order is
to bring the “peace of God” among His people
to bring the people of God to work in harmony with God
to send a beautiful testimony to the unbelieving
Do all things in in order
