GIFTS Tongues & Interpretation | Dr. Tim Rivers

About this sermon

Sermon Description Dr. Tim Rivers explores the biblical foundations and practical applications of the gift of tongues, aiming to demystify one of the most debated topics in the Christian faith. By breaking down the four distinct types of tongues—Proof, Prophetic, Personal, and Petition—Rivers illustrates how surrendering our language to the Holy Spirit can deepen our prayer life. Ultimately, he reminds believers that while gifts are powerful, they must always be exercised through the foundational motivation of love.
