    Win By Losing (January 29, 2023 Version)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Jan 28, 2023
     | 1,580 views

    Just think, the cross was a place of execution. It was therefore considered a place of defeat---the final word for the executed and a warning from those who did the executing.

    WIN BY LOSING Text: I Corinthians 1:18 -25 1 Corinthians 1:18-31  For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.  (19)  For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the ...read more

    How God Works Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Feb 21, 2023

    God doesn't work through the best and the brightest. He doesn't work through human wisdom or ability. instead, he works through a surprisingly unqualified group of people--people like you and me.

    If you're like me, a lot of you guys still have some playground memories from when you were on recess in elementary school. Do you remember how you would choose up teams for pick up baseball or basketball games. Generally, two of the "cooler dudes" on the playground would somehow ...read more

    The Foolishness Of God

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Sep 22, 2022
     | 1,112 views

    This seems like a strange statement to make, “The foolishness of God.” When I think of God, I think of every attribute of awe, but foolishness does not come to mind.

    This seems like a strange statement to make, “The foolishness of God.” When I think of God, I think of every attribute of awe, but foolishness does not come to mind. I can see God as omnipotent, perfect, Acts 17:24. I can see God in justice and holiness, I can see Him in grace, mercy, and love, but ...read more

    The Cross

    Contributed by Ken Mckinley on Sep 24, 2022
     | 2,803 views

    The message of the cross is a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, but to those who are being saved it is the wisdom of God. Do we have a "cross centered" view today?

    THE CROSS Text: 1 Corinthians 1:17-25, 1 Corinthians 2:1-6 OPEN WITH PRAYER AND THANKSGIVING I love studying God’s Word. I absolutely love it. I would rather study God’s Word than watch football or go to a UFC fight, which is saying a lot, because I enjoy both of those things. I would rather ...read more

    Authentic Versus Counterfeit Faith (Part I) Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on May 20, 2024
     | 1,468 views

    Justification is by faith alone. But we must be sure that the faith we are operating in is the biblical faith Paul is talking about in Romans 4. The authentic faith of Abraham is described in verses 16-22. This description is examined.

    Intro Jesus made an alarming statement in the Sermon on the Mount: “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out ...read more

    Preaching Of The Cross

    Contributed by Phillip Smith on May 24, 2024
     | 1,034 views

    The Apostle Paul said he was not an elegant speaker; he did not desire to use flattering words to draw attention to the cross. It is a shame too many preachers today feel they must use flattery or jokes to attract or keep an audience.

    I have heard many preachers over the span of my life. My father said they began attending church assemblies on Easter just a few days after my birth. Over sixty years have I been in an assembly hearing preaching. Think about the number of years and the many preachers you have heard. You have heard ...read more

    The message of the Cross has never been popular. It was not popular in Corinth when Paul wrote these words, and it is not popular now. The world has always had a problem with the Cross.

    ---The Cross as Crisis--- Beloved, the message of the Cross has never been popular. It was not popular in Corinth when Paul wrote these words, and it is not popular now.

    1 Corinthians 1 Series

     | 977 views

    Corinth is a fascinating city in Greece that was a major center for International east-west trade. People from all over came to this prosperous place to make their fortunes. The message of a humble Jesus who died on a humiliating cross was not going to be popular.

    1st Corinthians 1 August 25, 2024 • Corinth is a fascinating city in Greece that was a major center for International east-west trade. • When Paul lived there, Corinth was the host of the Isthmian Games, second only to the Olympics in popularity. • Paul most likely lived in a small apartment ...read more

    The Load-Bearing Wall

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 19, 2026
     | 210 views

    As intelligence expands through AI and knowledge explodes, reason gives way to cynicism, revealing confusion about meaning, limits, and where trust belongs.

    We live in an age that is quietly intoxicated with intelligence. Not wisdom—intelligence. We live with the assumption, often unspoken but deeply embedded, that if a problem can be solved, it will be solved by someone smarter than us… or by a system smarter than them. We trust models. We trust data. ...read more

    A Quieted Soul

    Psalm 131 invites restless hearts into humility and hope—trusting God’s presence over answers, like a weaned child content with mother.

    It’s easy to worry. Anxiety is normal. Fear is expected. There’s plenty to be anxious about. I once heard a guy on the radio say, “Anyone who doesn’t have high blood pressure these days just isn’t paying attention.” And maybe he’s right—because we live in a world wound tight with hurry and ...read more

    The Danger Of Following God With Human Wisdom

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Aug 5, 2025
     | 215 views

    God is not seeking experts; He is seeking the obedient. Following Him requires that we crucify our natural wisdom and embrace divine instruction. There is danger in depending on human intelligence to navigate spiritual assignments. Such a path leads to error, frustration, and loss.

    THE DANGER OF FOLLOWING GOD WITH HUMAN WISDOM By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God…” (1 Corinthians 1:18) Supporting Texts: Proverbs 3:5-7, Romans 8:6-8, ...read more
