    Our Part And God's Part In Bringing The Harvest

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 28, 2005
    based on 9 ratings
     | 2,899 views

    As Paul uses a farming analogy, what do we need to be doing to see the harvest and what should we anticipate God to be doing?

    - farming analogy here. God’s Part: - two verbs in this passage that say what God does. 1. God is the One who provides the opportunity. - v. 5b - “even as the Lord gave opportunity to each one.” 2. God is the One who brings the growth. - vv. 6, 7. - Matthew 16:18. Our Part: 1. I am a ...read more

    Lets work together as servants, building on the one foundation, Jesus Christ, so as to build up the church in unity according to God’s wisdom, not human wisdom.

    The Corinthians self-image was of a spiritually mature congregation, endowed with all the spiritual gifts they needed, well taught and self-sufficient. In fact they were quite similar to many churches today, particularly those of an evangelical persuasion, let me say. They thought their learning ...read more

    Carnality

     | 4,551 views

    Up to this point, Paul has been talking about two kinds of people in the world: those who are natural (unsaved) and those who are spiritual (saved). Now he says there are two kinds of saved people: those who are mature and those who are immature, which

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: What is carnality? According to the dictionary, it means to have the nature and characteristics of the flesh (or more simply, it means “fleshly”). Sometimes it refers to the whole material part of man (1 Corinthians 15:39; Hebrews 5:7), and based on this meaning, carnal ...read more

    We have a privileged partnership with God. This message explores that partnership.

    A PRIVILEGED PARTNERSHIP 1 Cor. 3:6, 8-9 INTRO: “I planted the seed, and Apollos watered it; but God made it grow....Whether they plant or water, they work as a team....We are God’s fellow workers.” This is a thrilling text. It declares a privileged partnership--a partnership with God! And in ...read more

    How to be faithful without being a workahollic

    One thing everyone of us has in common is the desire to feel we have accomplished a job well. This applies in our church life, in our home life and in our life at work. Different jobs suit different people of course- we all have differing abilities. I know for me that one kind of job I am ...read more

    Feeling Joy When You Don't Want To Series

     | 5,406 views

    Reason we don’t feel as much joy as we would like is because we are milk Christians rather than solid food Christians.

    People love a baby. You only have to watch when a new baby enters our auditorium how people flock around that baby. People love little children as well. We consider them so cute. And when they come up with the most interesting comments we just laugh at them. Kids have few if any inhibitions. ...read more

    Understand that in order to stand firm, you first have to have a strong foundation.

    There is a distinction between the two foundations that Jesus tells us about in Matthew 7: 24-29, by which he used a parable describing that there is only one way to get to heaven. It’s funny to me to also note that a similar story that we are all aware of tells the same story; The Three little ...read more

    Paul tells the believers about the church as a family and field.

    GROWING UP IN THE CHURCH (Part 1) 1 Corinthians 3:1-9 I. Paul Views the Church as a Family (vv. 1-4). A. Paul calls them “brothers” (v. 1). He goes on to say they are not “spiritual” because they are “worldly” and “infants.” 1. They need to be taught but they have already accepted Christ as ...read more

    Lose Some Weight!

    Contributed by Tony Searles on Nov 19, 2006
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,134 views

    A little play on words here, but with a serious intent. The message encourages us to gain victories over the flesh, so that our Spirit man can flourish in the Lord, and gain strength; while our flesh "loses weight"!

    Stand & Read - 1 Cor. 3:1-7 “And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to men of flesh, as to babes in Christ. [2] I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now you are not yet able, [3] for you are still fleshly. ...read more

    WHEN ELEPHANTS RUMBLE (1 CORINTHIANS 3:1-15) An African proverb says, “When elephants fight, grass gets trampled.” When elephants rumble, not only grass suffers the damage, animals run for cover, too.
