    Stagnant Bottom

     | 3,797 views

    We begin by looking at the spiritual area of our lives. Is God really in control of our spiritual walk or do we just assume God is? What do we mean by spirituality and is this how God’s Word describes it?

But at one point, his game started to flounder a little so he swallowed his pride and signed up for golf lessons. When he arrived, he was greeted by the golf pro, who Bishop Davis ...read more

    Should the church dissolve since our president has declared that we are not a Christian nation? The numbers of people claiming to be Christians has dropped dramatically. The question is, is the cross still relevant in this post-Christian world?

    President Barak Obama visited Turkey this week. In a press conference he stated “we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation.” Newsweek reporter Jon Meacham wrote the cover story for his magazine entitled “The Decline and Fall of Christian America.” The 2009 American Religious Identification ...read more

    Knowledge

    Contributed by Lou Nicholes on Jan 18, 2005
    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,401 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

     | 3,602 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

    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.

    based on 51 ratings
     | 16,364 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.
