    The Perception Of God’s Plan - Foolishness Of God

    Contributed by Rodney Kelley on Sep 14, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,196 views

    God's plan of Redemption for man seems like foolishness to the lost man but makes sense to the believer.

    Intro: In our text there is a statement that should make us stop in our tracks. For the novice in Scripture or a skeptic, that statement could be misunderstood. In context it is clear. The Bible is not saying God is foolish, but that the most simple thought of God is greater than the greatest ...read more

    Don't Worship Your Pastor Series

    You might never think of yourself as worshiping your pastor. But that's just what has happening in Corinth and it happens in churches all over the world to this day. What are the dangers, how to spot it, and how to avoid it are the subject of part two in

    It had been only 18 months since Paul left his newly formed church at Corinth. A trusted family had filled him in on what had happened to this fledgling body: fights, divisions, class envy, a return to paganism, and out and out sin. I picture Paul pulling his hair out and tearing his clothes as he ...read more

    Lesson 3: Don't Confuse The World's Values With God's Series

    In today's politically correct world it seems more and more Christians are swallowing some pretty bad stuff in order to 'get along.' The culture pushes back to get us to conform to the values of our culture. Paul comes against that and says you should thi

    In lesson three Paul takes aim, not at superstar pastors, but the philosophies and values of the world around us. The Corinthians were very much in the middle of a culture that valued philosophy and discussion as a way to arrive at truth. Paul's time before the Areopagus in Acts 17 was like that, ...read more

    When the church removes the central theme and central action of the church it becomes ineffective and nothinig more than a social club. We need to make sure we keep the blood and the cross in the church.

    “The Power of the Blood and the Cross” By District Elder M.L. Maughmer, Jr. 1st Corinthians 1:17-18 “For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. For the preaching of the cross is to ...read more

    The message of the cross is salvation through the power of God.

    I want to turn this morning to look at the passage from 1 Corinthians chapter 1, which places before us the power of the Cross, and as we journey through Lent toward Holy Week it is surely fitting to do so.

    Has the cross become too cultural. Is it more popular than powerful. The cross is where jesus died.

    Intro: Is it possible that we have become too familiar with the cross? Is it possible that it has become more popular than powerful? Is it possible that the cross is more cultural than critical to the salvation of people separated by from the life of God? The cross doesn’t seem to be as ...read more

    Do You Need To Be Water Baptized In Order To Be Saved? By Dan Lirette

     | 3,040 views

    Dan Lirette of Moncton, NB, and Pastor of Revival House Fellowship, takes on the issue of whether water baptism is pre-salvation or post-salvation.

    Do you need to be water baptized in order to be saved? by Dan Lirette Water Baptism is not essential for Salvation as it’s a command to those who are already saved. Jesus Christ’s Blood alone saves from sin and one appropriates that Blood Atonement by faith in the Cross alone ...read more

    1Corinthians 1: 22 : “For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom..” Paul knew well, Greeks need wisdom…that’s what they are interested in.
