    Paul's Rights Vs What Is Right Series

    Contributed by Bobby Stults on Jul 8, 2014
     | 7,830 views

    Paul KNEW he was rightfully THE called Apostle of Christ to the Gentiles. However, Paul did not stand on HIS rights but deferred to God's calling in his life! We must not focus on what we believe is our RIGHT, but we must DO what is right in God's plan.

    It’s Not The Messenger, It’s The Message

    Paul was direct and focused on what he had to do; he was a messenger of Christ, not of himself or anyone else and he knew it.

    16 For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel! 17 For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me. 18 What is my reward then? ...read more

    Sometimes we feel like God has to completely change us in order to use us. Paul shows us that God takes the background, weaknesses, and even difficulties and uses them for His kingdom, if we let Him.

    Who are you as a person? Who are you as a Christian? Do those two questions get two different responses from you? I think often times we think that when we come to Christ, Jesus basically considers us to be a blank slate that needs to be redrawn into the character of Jesus and that everything about ...read more

    Apostolic Authority Series

    Contributed by Antonio Silveira on Feb 12, 2011
     | 7,089 views

    Paul is talking about the way some people questioned the way himself and other men of God were being paid by the Church. Questioning about administration is something natural.

    1 Corinthians 9:1-9 1 Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are not you my workmanship in the Lord? 2 If to others I am not an apostle, at least I am to you, for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord. 3 This is my defense to those who would examine me. 4 Do ...read more

    This text gives the real reason for why anyone should dare take the job of preaching.

    Introduction Why do I preach? Why does a person become a preacher? It has its benefits. One gains a measure of respect with the office. There are flexible hours and a fairly secure income during recession. Of course there is the opportunity to help people, and then there is the weekly ...read more

    Preach For Free? Must Be Crazy!

    People say preachers are in it for the money, but if one comes just ready to preach for free they think you are nuts. Where's the win-win? ;-)

    Ever since I have been saved, I have heard that "Preachers are only in it for the money." My first pastor was driving a twelve-year-old car, raising four kids on a salary that was equal to what my father-in-law was paying in weekly taxes. Admittedly, when you look at the lifestyles of ...read more

    Clearing The Air About The Sacred Calling

    This is no time for any man of God or serious Christian to be shy, hesitant, compromising, or half-hearted in our commission from the Lord Jesus Christ to go out into the world and preach His gospel. Today is the day to be bold for the kingdom of God.

    Fellow preachers and servants in Christ, I must admit that it seems as if we are proclaiming the truth of the Gospel to stone walls these days. I have never seen such indifference and apathy in people concerning the state of their souls as I do now. We see and hear of so-called ...read more

    The same divine being who planned out and created the galaxies by an effortless command comes to those who are oppressed with healing, and to the oppressors with rebuke.

    Fifth Sunday in Coarse 2021 There is nothing subtle about the first chapter of St. Mark’s Gospel. He introduces us to John the Baptist, then Jesus comes from Nazareth and is baptized. Immediately He is driven by the Spirit into the wilderness and is tempted. He goes to Galilee to begin preaching, ...read more

    Against Universalism

    Contributed by Davon Huss on Feb 6, 2021

     | 1,843 views

    1) What does Bible say about universalism? 2) Because of what Bible says, how is church to conduct herself? (Material adapted from David Faust in his book, "Growing Churches, Growing Leaders", chapter called Children of a Graceful God, pgs. 108-113)

    HoHum: David Faust asks, What do you get when you cross a Jehovah’s Witness with a universalist? A knock on the door for no apparent reason. Universalism is a widely accepted philosophy. Universalism says that no matter what everyone will eventually be saved. Today people say things like, “Oh ...read more

    You Are Called As A Servant Not A Master

    Contributed by Richard Papafio on Jun 19, 2019
     | 4,089 views

    A servant is always ready to serve, even when wages are not coming in, he looks up to his Master, hoping for the best, knowing that many have been paid before him and even after him so he will surely receive his wages so he will always serve

    May the peace of the Lord be with you. Topic: *YOU ARE CALLED AS A SERVANT NOT A MASTER* 1 Corinthians 9:15-19 King James Version (KJV) 15 But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, ...read more

Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel. From ...read more
