Jesus was pretty clear about stoney ground.  It causes those who try to sink their roots to shoot up fast but have no depth of roots.  In other words, they look productive on the outside, but have no depth of relationship, very little ability in the spirit—the unseen realm.  When trouble comes, and it will, they fall over and die.  What is the remedy?  How do we deal with the stoney ground?  Brian...

Jesus was crystal clear.  He said that this generation was crooked and perverse.  Is the generation we live now any different?  Is there any escape or relief?  The Jews that gathered asked Peter, "What shall we do?"  So that is the question that Brian Higbee explores, "What Shall We Do?"

When Jesus talked about the four types of soil, was He directing that toward an unbeliever hearing the Word?  Or was He describing the place that the seed would be planted, the church family that a new believer would become part of?  Brian Higbee challenges us to see that we may have some work to do as the Lord prepares the abundant harvest.

The Apostle Paul was pretty clear.  Some are drinking the cup and eating the bread in an unworthy manner and sickness and weakness and even death is coming upon them.  Why?  I thought the table of the Lord was to bless us?  Brian Higbee talks about this and quite a bit more concerning the eucharist.  Check it out.  

Jackie Shopes talks about what it means to "get clean", how to do it, and what is the lasting effect.  Check it out.

The Bones Of Structure - TheGathering - Session 7 The Lord intends much more for the Bride of Jesus.  But to become what He intends, we must undergo several significant shifts.  The first is the structure of the church must be restored.  The second is that the dung must be removed.  Charlie Coker talks us through both in this last session of theGathering 2026.

The tabernacle in heaven is so much greater than the tabernacle that on the earth.  What does that mean?  How does the heavenly tabernacle affect us?  Do we have access? Brian Higbee talks about what he calls, “Tabernacle Life.”  He believes that the heavenly tabernacle is available for us to access and even live from.  How?  Check out this to find out.  

Jesus did not come to do away with the old covenant but to fulfill it and bring forth a new covenant–the new and living way.   He brought a new covenant full of better promises and a better outcome.  What is it?  How can we understand it?  Brian Higbee looks at the new covenant through the lens of the old covenant, more specifically the tabernacle and how it applies to us today.

What is the cross?  Is it powerful?  Some would say yes and in a sense they would not be wrong.  But a cross never picked up is a powerless cross.  Jesus picked up His cross and defeated death, hell, and the grave.  But He said to follow Him and pick up our own cross.  What does that mean?  How do we do that?  Brian Higbee talks about the cross and how to pick it up.  Check it out.  

Can man curse God?  Job’s wife thought so and even suggested it.  If so, how?  Brian Higbee tackles these questions and more in this intriguing message suggesting that we may even curse God and not be aware.  Check it out.
