What did Paul mean when he wrote that if a person speaks in tongues he should pray that he may interpret? We must be careful not to understand Paul's instruction through the lens of what we may have seen practiced in some churches in the world today.

In this section Paul compares speaking in an intelligible language to properly playing a flute or harp, and using a trumpet to make a distinct battle call. This section also goes to show that there is no such thing as a completely unknown language.

Why does Paul describe prophesy as being greater than the gift of languages when he writes to the Corinthians? Is there a difference between the gift in Acts 2 and the gift in 1 Corinthians 14? What are the mysteries in the Spirit that Paul mentions?

What exactly is the gift of languages that is spoken about in Scripture? Is there more than one gift of languages? What happened in Acts 2? What happened with Cornelius in Acts 10? Does the end of Mark teach that every single believer will speak in an unknown tongue?

Before we can begin speaking about the biblical gift of languages (tongues), we must make certain that we understand the surrounding context in which Paul wrote about the gift. What is the main them in 1 Corinthians 14? Why did Paul write the great love chapter in 1 Corinthians 13?

In the last installment in this series we look at several passages used by Matthew Vines to say that homosexuality is compatible with Biblical Christianity because... the "old law" has been abolished. Colossians 2:14, Matthew 5:17, and Romans 10:4 (among others) are discussed.

In order to justify their homosexuality, some professing Christians quote Galatians 5:1-6 and 6:12-15 in an attempt to teach that we shouldn't be burdened with the "old law." This lesson tackles such an objection head on.

As human beings we often call things good that Yahweh deems evil, and things evil that Yahweh deems good. The reason we do this is because by nature we assume we can decide what is right and wrong in and of our own selves.

If I only had to choose one verse in all of Scripture to teach that one man took the place of others in suffering the penalty due to the sinner, it would be Isaiah 53:5. Continuation in answering the anti-Messiah groups.

The concepts of belief in the servant of Yahweh, that the servant is an extension of Yahweh Himself, that he was just a common fellow you wouldn't expect to be the Messiah, and that he was familiar with being sick, are all discussed in this expository sermon through Isaiah 53.
