    The church at Corinth was in a sad state. The fellowship of the church was about to collapse.

    In his first letter to the Corinthian church, Paul addresses the factions and divisions that have arose. He tells them and us that a united church has No Divisions, No Dividers, No Distractions and One Directive.

    The Way Of The Cross

     | 21,197 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

    This sermon was prepared to help the baptism candidates understand the meaning of baptism and why baptism is necessary. I prepared for the youth group, but it would apply to adults as well.

Just as a wedding ring itself doesn't make you married, Baptism doesn't make you Christian. Just as a wedding ...read more

    Last week, in the first part of First Corinthians chapter one, we saw that Paul was thankful for how God's grace was making a difference in the lives of the Christians at Corinth. Yet, it was a church full of problems.
