    On Friday, Donald Trump took the oath of office to become the 45th president of the United States. As you know, his election was not without controversy.

    Jesus wants us to abandon our compromised, self-centered involvement in the church and turn to the God-centered communal life He can use for His resolve. The purpose of the church is to reflect God’s character to the world.

    Paul appeals to the Corinthian church to unify. He pleads for unity of word and unity of action.

    Introduction A. Two taxidermists stopped in front of a window where an owl was on display. They immediately began to criticize the way it was mounted. Its eyes were not natural; its wings were not in proportion with its head; its feathers were not neatly arranged; and its feet could be improved. ...read more

    There is much preaching done today in the power of the emotions, or in the power of the intellect. This is false preaching, and false religion.

    Preaching with the Power of the Holy Spirit Study Text: I Corinthians 1:17 - 18 Introduction: - One of the most neglected parts of preaching is understanding the role and power of the Holy Spirit in preaching God’s word. - As teachers, we spend hours studying, outlining, doing word studies, and ...read more

    There is really one answer to a divided church and that is THE CROSS. It is the cross that reveals the love of God.

    Up to this point in the first chapter of 1 Corinthians we have been discussing the divided church. There is really one answer to a divided church and that is THE CROSS. So that is our focus this evening. Paul emphasizes in verse 17 that words of human wisdom are not the answer for a divided ...read more

    Paul was determined to know and preach nothing except Christ and Him crucified . Today, it seems we preach everything but Christ and the cross, causing many to live as enemies of the cross..

    The Way Of The Cross

    Contributed by Bishop Prof. Julius Soyinka on Mar 29, 2016
     | 21,278 views

    The message of the cross of Jesus is still a strange message to those who have never experienced its life changing power. To them it is "foolishness". To the lost the idea of trusting a suffering, bleeding man for salvation is foolishness.

    THE WAY OF THE CROSS Study Text: 1 Corinthians 1:17-18 Introduction: - When he wrote to the church in Corinth, Paul reminded them that he had been called for one purpose and that purpose was to preach the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. That message was to be his focus and that message was to be ...read more

    We have to set aside our sinful nature if we want to be united in Christ. We have to go back to the beginning of our Christian mission and purpose before we can move forward.

    The more things change, the more they stay the same. Sound familiar? In 1 Corinthians 1:10-17, Paul addresses a problem that still exists today. That problem is the lack of unity in the Christian church. The Corinthian Christians were divided into factions based on who had baptized them instead of ...read more

    When we think of the problems in the Corinthian Church they are numerous but Paul chose to address disunity first.

    United we stand What a mess! It should have been a model church; after all it had all the earmarks of becoming the greatest church in the denomination. Its founding pastor was the most prolific church planter in the denomination; the next man was by far the best preacher that could be offered and ...read more
