Being Servants And Stewards Of God
Contributed on May 16, 2022
We can learn from the words of Paul to his accusers the perspectives we need to adopt in the face of opposition in ministry. Paul understands where his authority comes from, knows to whom he is accountable, and trusts in God's final appraisal of his works.

Today is our 11th Sunday on this book. • I believe by now we have an idea of the problems the church in Corinth is facing. • Surely this is not a happy thing for Paul, who ...read more

Proclaiming Christ Crucified
Contributed on Apr 3, 2022
Our faith is in the testimony of God, the work of the Spirit of God and the power of God. Our faith lies in the message and not the messenger, in the work of His Spirit and power and not in human wisdom.
1 Cor 2:1-5 1And I, when I came to you, brothers, did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God with lofty speech or wisdom. 2For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling, 4and my speech and ...read more

The Power And Wisdom Of God
Contributed on Mar 20, 2022
We did not get to understand the Gospel and be saved because of human wisdom but the power and wisdom of God. There is nothing man can boast about.
The church has been plagued by divisions, with groups taking sides and pledging their support for various leaders. • This competitive and partisan spirit was tearing the church apart. They pride themselves on men and not on Christ. • They were boasting in human wisdom, eloquence and influence, and ...read more

Which Basin?
