Increase in the Gifts – Session 2: Interpretation of Tongues Living Church Study | Pastor Ben Conway How should spiritual gifts operate in a church gathering? In this second Living Church Study in the Increase in the Gifts series, Pastor Ben teaches on the practical operation of tongues and interpretation in a public setting, based on 1 Corinthians 14. This session brings clarity to something many find confusing — showing that the gifts of the Spirit are not chaotic or random, but operate with order, purpose, and honour. A key principle explored in this teaching is that when a message in tongues is given publicly, we pause and make space for interpretation. This is not about religious formality, but about valuing and responding to how God is speaking to His people. The session also explains the important difference between: Translation (word-for-word) Interpretation (capturing the meaning and heart of what God is saying) One of the most helpful insights is the “light touch” principle — that the Holy Spirit often speaks gently, through impressions, thoughts, or Scripture, rather than overwhelming experiences. Learning to recognise and trust this is key to growing in the gifts. This teaching will help you: Understand how tongues and interpretation function in church settings Grow in confidence to respond to spiritual promptings Recognise how the Holy Spirit speaks in everyday ways Operate in gifts with order, honour, and sensitivity See how these gifts can impact those who are new to faith or exploring Tongues with interpretation is not just for believers — it can be a powerful sign that captures attention and opens hearts to what God is saying. These Living Church Studies are designed for small groups and work best when watched together, paused, discussed, and applied. They can also be used for personal study.
