The Power Of Positive Repentance

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Aug 2, 2011

Taking criticism is one of the hardest things for us humans. When it comes to God's critique of our lives, and areas He needs to touch, we often react with our natural human defenses. But Paul in addressing the subject with the Corinthian church, gives us

What happens when you realize you’ve blown it? You have done something, said something, held an attitude about something—and somehow you get called on the carpet. Perhaps it’s by the Holy Spirit, maybe by a Bible study, or listening to a sermon, or even someone else telling you ...read more

Freedom From The Pain Of Regret

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jul 28, 2011

Have you ever done anything you’ve regretted? I believe there’s no pain like the pain of regret. However, we can actually gain freedom from our regrets and move on.

FREEDOM FROM THE PAIN OF REGRET INTRODUCTION: Have you ever done anything you’ve regretted? If you’ve ever said, “if only…” or if you’ve spent time in the land of, “woulda, coulda, shoulda” then you probably have regrets. I believe there’s no ...read more

What Can Paul Teach Us About Comfort? Series

Contributed by Guy Mcgraw on Mar 7, 2012

Paul teaches us some important principles of God’s comfort in his response to their condition. Might not have 3rd letter because it was of such personal nature.

If we were to have all over Paul’s letters to the church in Corinth then this would be chapter 7 of his 4TH letter. 1st Corinthians would be letter number 2. We do not have his 3rd letter and by the tone we have in this chapter we can assess that letter number 3 was pretty harsh. ...read more

Paul, The Emotional Case Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Sep 10, 2012

Neither Paul nor we are meant to be Mr. Spock from Star Trek; Paul was comfortable with emotion, but -- even when he was emotionally intense -- he kept his eyes on Jesus and sought to follow God’s will, not his own.

Paul, the Emotional Case (2 Corinthians 7:2-16) 1. I love this old Jewish joke: During a service at an old synagogue in Eastern Europe, when the Shema prayer was said, half the congregants stood up and half remained sitting. The half that was seated started yelling at those standing to sit down, ...read more

The Fruitful Believer Series

Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Jan 14, 2022

Jesus provides us an image of what the fruitful believer looks like. Jesus likens Himself to a vine, and the Father is the one for cares for the vine. The believers in Christ Jesus - the ones who are alive and receiving life from the vine - are the branches of vine with the purpose of bearing fruit.

Introduction As I wrote this message, it is clear that things are not right in the world. There are ongoing struggles as a result of COVID-19 and the response by politicians and globalists. These last two years have brought tremendous uncertainty, pain, and have divided people over masks and the ...read more

Holding On To Our Past - Resentments, Regrets And Remorse

Contributed by J Jeffrey Smead on Apr 4, 2022

Living With(Out) Regret Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Feb 24, 2022

We all have regrets, things we've done or have had done to us in the past. Paul describes two ways of dealing with these regrets- worldly and godly. Consider these thoughts from our Family Minister Scott Jewell on living without regret.

Our current series is called “What Keeps You Up At Night?” We’ve explored anger/bitterness, concern for family, and today I want to talk about regret. It’s the idea of dealing with our mistakes/sins, whether real or perceived from our past. Personally, the concept takes me back to my ...read more

Whatever Happened To Repentance? Series

Contributed by Doug Fannon on Feb 28, 2022

Repentance, as a word, is mostly lost in today culture, along with the words holiness and sin. As a church word, it has lost its meaning over the years. All Scripture references are from the NASB.

Repentance, as a word, is mostly lost in today culture, along with the words holiness and sin. As a church word, it has lost its meaning over the years.

"i Speak As To Children"

Contributed by Kyle Campbell on Aug 15, 2022

In 2 Corinthians 6:13 Paul said, “I speak as to children” which obviously shows Paul’s concern and love. In this text we can find several instructions that’ll benefit the children with whom God has blessed us (Psalm 127:3-5).

Introduction. The Bible occasionally contains passages of dual application. An example of this would be in Ephesians 5:22-32 where Paul teaches about the relationship of husbands and wives, which he likens to Christ and the church. A similar passage is in 2 Corinthians 6:11-18 where Paul makes ...read more
