What Is The Purpose Of Speaking in Tongues?

This week we continue our discussion on speaking in tongues, this time with returning guest Brian Parkman. Brian’s a teacher at the FIRE School of Ministry, specializing in this very topic. This week we cover the purpose of speaking and praying in tongues, and why you don’t want to miss out on...

The Fellowship of Revelations

I was just chatting with my friend Stevie B about some thoughts that I had on fellowship, though not the way we have always heard it. This is a new perspective about how it is needed to build the Church into an apostolic fellowship. The core ring of a tree needs to be strong for the outer rings to develop. A...

The Image Inside The Seed

“But the one who received the seed that fell on good soil is the man who hears the word and understands it. He produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.” (Matt 13:23) Recently I had heard about a number of tombs being found in Egypt in recent years which contained...

Eying the Perfect

A Study of 1 Corinthians 13:10 For we know in part and we prophecy in part; but when the perfect­ comes, the partial will be done away with. This is an awesome and powerful statement. Therefore, in order for the meaning to be derived we will take an exegetical approach as we examine the context,...

God Stories

Over the past few months I started writing down some of the things that God has done in my life and in the lives of my friends. The Psalmist says “One generation will commend your works to another; they will tell of your mighty acts.” Psalm 145:4. So I just want to take this time and talk about...

Growing in Faith: A Look At Abraham

As it is written, “I have made you the father of many nations”–in the presence of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist. In hope he believed against hope, that he should become the father of many nations, as he had been...

How’s Your Connection?

I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch of mine that does not bear fruit He takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch...

The Spirit of Truth

In John 14:17 Jesus said the Holy Spirit will be with us AND in us. These are two different things. The Holy Spirit is with us corporately as a body of believers and He’s with the individual believer, on the inside of us. He builds up the Church, and He builds up the individual believer. In 1 Corinthians...

Treasures of the Heart

“For no good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit, for each tree is known by its own fruit. For figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush. The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of...

How To Meditate — Understanding This Lost Biblical Artform

“Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.” Psalm 1:1-2 “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but...
