    People always underestimate the value and importance of our young people. This message will show how valuable they are to the kingdom and one of the many darts (SEX) that Satan uses to cause division among them.

    Chosen Vessels: the Keys to Satan’s Destruction Most people today underestimate the importance of the youth. Most people mixed their immaturity w/ their value. Elders get the full blast of the power of God in a well cushioned pew w/ excellent singers while they stuff the youth in little shacky, ...read more

    Division

    based on 14 ratings
     | 5,091 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
     | 4,551 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
     | 3,105 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
     | 3,738 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

    This is the first sermon of the series, and looks at the Paul’s focus and concern regarding the Corinthian Church

    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. Paul founded the Corinthian Church during his second missionary journey … Acts 18:1-18 records the founding of the church Acts ...read more

    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
     | 16,590 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

    ...the most important decision anyone will ever make (in their lifetime) centers around whether or not they accept the TRUTH about the death and resurrection of Jesus.

    JESUS OF THE CROSS Text: I Corinthians 1:17 thru 24 Without a doubt the most controversial subject anyone could ever want to discuss with a friend or a family member has to be the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

    Attempting to sow conflict works on the basis of insecurity and the need to compete. But God in Christ is about reconciliation, forgiveness, acceptance.

    No doubt we love our children and think they’re wonderful. But if you ever need proof of the perversity of human nature, just watch the children. If you ever doubt the Biblical idea that all sin and come short of the glory of God, just stop at the playground and watch a while. Children fight. ...read more

    The Holy Spirit reveals insights to those who consistently lay aside all of our their false dependencies.

    Letting Go Our Human Dependencies Quote: God is ready to assume full responsibility for the life wholly yielded to Him. Andrew Murray. 1.
