    There is no doubt that when Paul arrived, alone, in the sinful city of Corinth, it was a little bit of a shock. Worn down, lonely, discouraged, he needed the provision of God.

    Passage: Acts 18:1-17 Intro: When we read Acts, we get a picture of Paul in our minds. 1. we picture him striding powerfully from one rejection to another, brushing off the effects of this beating or that imprisonment. 2. but here in Corinth, it seems to have caught up with him. 3. many miles on ...read more

    We are tempted so many times to go by the way things seems to us, or "the seems like", but a believer knows not everything is as it seems. There are other factors involved non-believers are not aware of. We need help in understanding how to deal with thes

    Illustration: The Mafia Game “Not everything is at it seems.” One thing we learn quickly as a believer is you cannot live life by the way things SEEM! When Paul writes to the Ephesian believers, “We wrestle not with flesh and blood” [KJV] Or Our “struggle” is not against flesh and blood [NIV] ...read more

    August 1989, Day of Prayer for World Peace: Making peace in the world begins with making peace with God. It does not mean making peace WITH the world.

    Just a few weeks ago they re-enacted, not very far from here, a small but crucial Civil War battle.

Had the South taken ...read more

    Abraham is not really a "bad boy" but he did have some occasions when he had trouble making good decisions. What can he teach us when he did obey God and was ready to sacrifice his son?

    Abraham’s Struggle to Be Faithful Genesis 22:1-19 February 17, 2008 One of the greatest privileges I have had in my adult life is to visit the Holy Land. It was a relatively short trip, but we traveled from Jerusalem down to the Dead Sea and the desert fortress of Masada, up along the Jordan ...read more

  • Lot - The Struggle Of Righteousness

    Contributed by Timothy Darling on Mar 19, 2009
     | 5,457 views

    The stories in Genesis present Lot in a very negative light, but Peter and Abraham thought he was righteous. It is a time for adjusting our interpretation.

    Lot – The struggle of righteousness Genesis 18:16-33 This is a classic passage because it depicts something that we somehow know we should not do, bargaining with God. Abraham, out of concern for his nephew Lot, in an episode that sounds like an auction, begs God to be merciful. Five times, ...read more

    From the model of Job, we discover some principles about "getting through" the difficulties of life. (Warren Wiersbe contributes much to this message)

    GETTING THROUGH THE STRUGGLE Job 1:20-22 * These past couple of weeks have been weeks of fiscal struggle in our nation and arguably in the world.

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,644 views

    God puts us in this world with a small subset of the human race to begin relating to. Our parents are the first representatives of fallen humanity that we meet and our first model for authority figures that we’ll meet later in life.

    Introduction Jesus said that the commandments are summed up in the dual command, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength and your neighbour as yourself." Well today we come to the fifth commandment. This seems to be about loving your neighbour, but it’s one of the ...read more

    The commandment not to kill is also a commandment to make peace.

     | 4,427 views

    How do you decide when is the right time to tell the truth and when is the right time to keep silent?

    I sometimes wonder whether God has structured these ten commandments with the most obvious sins first and the least obvious or most subtle at the end. Or is it just that our age has become blind to the last couple of commandments? Truth is a difficult concept in this day and age isn’t it? ...read more

    Blind Spots I recently discovered that I have a blind spot. In fact I have two.

    Preached 1989. A people of integrity will not act as though God is automatically on their side, apart from righteousness; and they will pay attention to the way in which leadership is chosen.

    On this Independence Day weekend we think about our nation’s history, our nation’s life.
