     | 14,639 views

    The gift of helps is vital! Paul understood his limits, do you? Unless the Sr. pastor sees the gift of helps as important as his role it wll always be down played. Everyone in the body has a servant role to play!

    Ushering in His Excellence pt.1 Text: I Corinthians 2:1-5 Paul could have spoken with his great oratorical skills and drawn some attention to himself; he sure had the resume’ to do it. But he had determined that there was One in whom he served that had the ability to give the ...read more

    Paul understood he could not accomplish the task before him without total submission unto God. God’s gifts are for the body and we need His help. I Cor.12:31 tells us to earnestly covet them!

    This sermon is basically pointed about the Christ Crucified.

    Christ Crucified There are three kinds of people lived in the time of Jesus: 1. Jews: (Israelites) They believed that they are spiritual. They were looking for a Saviour who will save them from the hand of Roman Govt. and set them free. So they cannot accept a man who was crucified can become ...read more

    Helpful encouragement to those who question should I answer His call.

    Answering His Call What does “the call” feel like and is He really calling me? Two questions rolled into one that many people ask themselves. I can share with you what the feeling of the call to teach the Bible felt like to me. Early in my Christian walk God gave me a hunger for His Word. This ...read more

    Division

    based on 14 ratings
     | 4,946 views

    Dissension in the Corinthian church was the first problem addressed by Paul. He introduces the thoughts of this passage with an appeal for unity.

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: Being much concerned about the rise of denominations in the church, John Wesley tells of a dream he had. In the dream, he was ushered to the gates of Hell. There he asked, “Are there any Presbyterians here?” “Yes!”, came the answer. Then he asked, “Are there any ...read more

    Knowledge

    Contributed by Lou Nicholes on Jan 18, 2005
    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,397 views

    The true condition of the Corinthian believers was that they were still engrossed with human, earthly wisdom. We can spend a lifetime accumulating human knowledge and still not learn how to have a personal relationship with God.

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: Knowledge is exploding at such a rate—more than 2000 pages a minute—that even Einstein couldn’t keep up. In fact, if you read 24 hours a day, from age 21 to 70, and retained all you read, you would be one and a half million years behind when you finished. How can it be, ...read more

    Nobodies

    based on 10 ratings
     | 3,008 views

    Generally speaking, God has chosen His servants from those the world calls "foolish". It seems that he often takes those whom the world considers "nobodies" and works in their lives in such a manner as to produce heroes of faith.

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: The saintly Scottish pastor Robert Murry McCheyne one day gave a gospel tract to a woman, and she was greatly offended. “You must not know who I am!” she said in an offended manner. “Madam,” McCheyne replied, “there is coming a day of judgment, and on that day it will ...read more

    Simplicity

    Contributed by Lou Nicholes on Jan 21, 2005
    based on 8 ratings
     | 3,600 views

    From all indications Paul was a brilliant scholar and could have overwhelmed his listeners with intellectual arguments, but he shared the simple message of Jesus Christ by allowing the Holy Spirit to guide his words.

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: One man who was on the path of true simplicity was, according to the Talmud, a certain Rabbi Zusya. He once said, “In the coming world, they will not ask me: “Why were you not Moses?” They will ask me, “Why were you not Zusya?” (Reader’s Digest, March, 1980). In this ...read more

    POPPING THE QUESTIONS OF THE CHURCH 1 Corinthians 1:1-19 Introduction: As we begin a study in First Corinthians, we need to lay a little groundwork so to speak.

    In 1 Corinthians 2, Paul is clear that we’re not to be over-awed by the world and the physical, but to focus on Christ.

    Essential of the Church- 1 Cor. 2 Townships December 12, 2004 The Corinthian church was an unusual church, yet not so much different, in many ways, from a church of this century might be. It had grown up in an environment of deep questing for excellence. People sought to know, to understand, to ...read more

    the apostle Paul wants us to understand that human wisdom is not the answer to the needs of the church, the cross of Christ is the answer to the needs of the church

    FOOLISH COMMUNICATION 1 CORINTHIANS 1:18-31 INTRODUCTION: As we continue our study in the book of First Corinthians, we approach a fundamental tenet of Paul’s’ writing, namely the inability to comprehend the wisdom of God through the wisdom of man. Aptly applied to the church, the apostle wants ...read more

    Homiletics 101 -- "What Preaching Should Be” Series

    Contributed by Guy Glass on Feb 17, 2005
    based on 51 ratings
     | 16,361 views

    Paul wants us to understand that preaching is not based on the contribution of the preacher, but on the message being communicated. Preaching, in the mind of Paul is to be valued in the core truth, not in the charisma of the speaker!

    Homiletics 101 “What Preaching Should Be” 1 Corinthians 2:1-5 INTRODUCTION: As we approach this passage of Scripture, and in doing so leave the first chapter of the letter, it is important that we understand what it is we are leaving behind. Chapter 1 has Paul laying foundation concerning ...read more
