Increase in the Gifts – Session 11: Doctrine & Tongues | Living Church Study | Pastor Ben Conway

Increase in the Gifts – Session 11: Doctrine & Tongues Living Church Study | Pastor Ben Conway What should happen when believers gather together? In this eleventh Living Church Study in the Increase in the Gifts series, Pastor Ben explores 1 Corinthians 14:26 and the powerful New Testament pattern for Spirit-filled gatherings. Paul teaches that when believers come together, everyone has something to bring — a psalm, a doctrine, a tongue, a revelation, or an interpretation. These meetings were never designed around spectators. They were designed around participation, edification, and the Holy Spirit moving through the whole body of Christ. This session explores: Why worship is about more than music How a Spirit-led psalm can create an atmosphere for the gifts to flow What Paul meant by bringing a "doctrine" or word of instruction Why a doctrine is not a sermon, but a specific revelation from Scripture How tongues, interpretation, and prophecy fit into healthy church gatherings The importance of honour, order, and pastoral leadership Why authenticity matters more than performance How small groups can become powerful environments for spiritual growth When believers gather with humility, honour, and expectation, the gifts of the Spirit can flow naturally and powerfully. The goal is not attention. The goal is not performance. The goal is that all things be done unto edifying. 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. 🙌 About Pastor Benjamin & Amanda Conway Benjamin and Amanda Conway are the Lead Pastors of the Tree of Life Family and serve with a strong apostolic calling, providing spiritual oversight, foundation, and direction to a growing network of Spirit-filled churches across the UK.
