In Ephesians 3 14-21 we can find 5 elements, or stair steps, in Paul's prayer.

Since the beginning, God has had a good plan for his creation that has not changed.

Do I invite people to come to church with me? Or go and tell people about Jesus? Let's answer that question!

Giving is a way of personally giving thanks to God!

The hope of the resurrection gives us a reason to live with purpose and confidence in the face of death.

In 1 Cor chapter 15, Paul focuses in on a different question and problem the early Corinthian church was having. Some were questioning the future resurrection of believers. Will the dead be resurrected like Jesus? 

Worship is not a spectator sport. Our gifts are to be used decently and in order to build and strengthen the church (people of God) for the glory of Jesus.

Paul does not forbid speaking in tongues, but in a public meeting does require someone who can interpret for the strengthening of the entire body. Tongues is a gift of the spirit that edifies an individual believer; it expresses prayer and thanksgiving to God, and it may even articulate wordless prayers of the Spirit.
