This chapter delves into the significance of the gift of tongues in the church, referencing events from Acts 2 and 1 Corinthians 14 to illustrate its role in spiritual growth and community building. It contrasts the positive example at Pentecost with the challenges faced in Corinth, emphasizing the need for interpretation and the balanced use of spiritual gifts for edification. The discussion also touches on the transformative power of speaking in tongues in deepening one's connection to God and fostering intimacy.
The Gift of Tongues is a language of increase, intimacy, in-breaking and of intercession, that with right and orderly use, communally builds up the house of God. From Acts 2v1-4 and 1 Corinthians 14v1-5, 39-40; with Jonny Hughes.
