    Exposition of 1 Corinthians 9 regarding do you run to win? Are you in the Christian life to spectate? Is your Christian life just flailing along in laziness, flabbiness, outta shape, and without clear purpose?

    Writing the Corinthian believers who lived just 10 miles from the famous Isthmian Games, Paul challenged them not merely to join the race of faith but to be serious about it and run to win. God wants winning believers! In our present sports-crazed world,

    Intro: Perhaps the most remarkable scene in sports is the marathoner’s last lap at the end of a tough 26-mile race. As the exhausted runner presses to the finish line, the crowd in the Olympic stadium cheers him on. With eyes focused on the finish line, the runner fully exerts whatever remaining ...read more

    What Good Are You? Series

    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

    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

    Green Eggs and Ham was the starting place for this message on Evangelism and the churches need to be flexible in methods for reaching people.

    One Way Hate

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jun 26, 2017
     | 4,470 views

    The Bible tells us that the world will hate us because it hated Jesus first. What does that mean to us? Should we consider the world to be our enemies? How should we respond?

    Please open your Bibles to John 15:18-16:4 which we will read in a few minutes. In the Bible we often read of “the world”. The world consists of those who stand against Christ and His kingdom. In the time of Christ the world often referred to Jews who rejected the Jesus the Messiah. In a broader ...read more
