    Seeing The Possibilities

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 1, 2017

    Paul faced much opposition in ministry. He was forced to change his plans on numerous occasions, and yet he chose to see the possibilities instead of the obstacles. We too will face difficulty, but we must maintain our perspective, seeing possibilities.

    Seeing the Possibilities 2 Corinthians 2: 12-17 As you read and study Paul’s letters to the Corinthian church, you discover his ministry there was difficult at best. The church was situated in a city that was morally corrupt, and its influence was showing up in negative ways within the church. ...read more

    If we could get what we need from God in any other way … If there was anyway else we could earn favor with God … Christ’s death is meaningless. Are we willing to do whatever it takes to show people what they need?

    Christ is all that Matters Galatians, Part 4 Galatians 2:11-21 - Remember the purpose of this letter: • To teach • To correct • To point us to Jesus - Paul expressed clearly in last week’s study that unity is critical -- Division is not profitable for the ...read more

    Paul paints a word picture of believers, as former enemies conquered by grace, as conquerors, and as a fragrant aroma.

    Note: I lit a piece of incense at the beginning of my sermon...also this has some Christmas references, but is not a Christmas sermon per se.

    I must confess that there is something else that I don’t understand – why there seems to be such hatred in this world against anything that is considered to be Christian.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK A. There is a beautiful old hymn that begins with these words: “Love sent my Savior to die in my stead. Why should He love me so?" And ends by asking, "Why should my Savior to Calvary go? Why should He love me so?” How would you ...read more

    Paul celebrates God's triumph , the triumph he won through Christ. The changed atmosphere in the church at Corinth is a victory for God because it is a victory of the Spirit of Christ. In the Christian life there are no victories that are not God's.

    It has always been the case, whenever any of the servants of God do anything in His cause, and there appears to be a probability that they will succeed, that Satan by his agents regularly attempts to divert their minds and nullify their labors.
