Is the idea of a leadership team biblical? How about having a Senior Pastor? Is there a president for that in the bible? Or should all ‘elders’ and ‘pastors’ have equal authority. David and Jonathan look to the bible for guidance on how churches should be led today.
Is the gift of tongues really meant for every Christian? In 1 Corinthians 12 Paul asks the rhetorical question, “Do all speak in tongues?” Should this imply that the gift of tongues is not for everybody? In the same passage he encourages believers to desire the greater gifts. What are the greater gifts?!
Did spiritual gifts cease at the end of the apostolic age? Are tongues heavenly languages? Can the devil understand me when I speak in tongues? As we look at the familiar passage on love in the church (1 Corinthians 12) David Petts answers some other contraversial questions.
Dr David Petts discusses the meaning of the word, Apostle, and the New Testament understanding of the term.
Reading the bible but want to dig deeper? Not sure which translation to use? Got a passage that doesn’t make sense? Can’t understand why ‘that verse’ is even in the bible? David and Jonathan discuss aids to help our understanding of the bible.
