    INTRO: In May 2008 Christian musician Steven Curtis Chapman's five year old daughter Maria was run over and killed on the family property.

  • The Purpose Of Suffering

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on May 2, 2011
    based on 2 ratings
     | 7,687 views

    Why do we go through hard times? Is it because God is not pleased with us? Is it that we just must suffer in order to really be deserving of God's grace? Though the reasons might be many (and those two are not among them), Paul gives us one of the most im

    Having received a very stern letter from the Apostle Paul, you’d think that God’s problem church, Corinth, would have gotten their act together. The church was rife with pastor worship, division, misuse of spiritual gifts and the Lord’s supper, class distinctions, tolerance of ...read more

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Sep 6, 2011
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,076 views

    Christians have a long-standing tradition of being confused about church leadership and the identity of the Christian lay person. The Corinthian church experienced this problem even in the middle of the first century! Who are we?

Paul plants the church in Corinth (about 51 A.D.) 2. Paul writes I Corinthians (about 54 A.D.) 3. Timothy and ...read more

    What are the implications of God calling we who make up the church “saints?” How do saints relate together?

    The People of God: Laymen (2 Corinthians 1: 1b-2) 1. A friend was in front of me coming out of church one day, and the preacher was standing at the door as he always is to shake hands. He grabbed my friend by the hand and pulled him aside. The Pastor said to him, "You need to join the Army of the ...read more

  • Encouragement And Consolation, But Not Comfort Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 8, 2013
     | 4,186 views

    God gives us abundant consolations in our ministry, but does not grant us the privilege to be comfortable.

    The God of Consolation Monday of Tenth Week in Course 2013 St. Paul seems almost obsessed in today’s reading with the word paraklesis. In seven verses he uses some form of the word at least nine times. Paul is certainly trying to tell the Corinthians, and us, something ...read more

     | 11,686 views

    Nothing we experience can ever compromise the comfort God has for us.

    Looking back over the past year there are many things we can be thankful. Often times we only remember the bad things and forget that God got us through those times by his grace. We can’t change the past, but we can be thankful for how God brought us through on the victorious way. As we ...read more

     | 4,425 views

    Paul wrote Second Corinthians for several reasons: He wanted to encourage the church to forgive and restore the member who had caused all the trouble (2 Cor. 2:6-11). He wanted to reassert his apostolic authority among the Corinthians (2 Cor. 4:1-2; 10-1)

    Part 3 of the series - The Church of the New Testament. This part addresses the question, "What is the Church." There are many conceptual variations on what the church is and what its principal purpose is. But what did Jesus intend to build?

    This 13-part series of classes has been many years in the making. About 25 years ago I began in earnest to examine the features, character and characteristics of the church as it existed in its earliest years. As I sometimes do, I kept my notes all along the way, and this series of classes is to a ...read more
