    The Beatitudes Of Christ (Part 2) Series

    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,632 views

    While many of the blessings Jesus speaks of appear to be contradictions, we must remember that God’s economy is much different than ours. The world views blessings based upon circumstances or material possessions. The Lord speaks of blessing in regard to our relationship with Him.

    The Basis of Blessing (Part 2) Matthew 5: 3-12 Today I would like to continue our study on the passage that is commonly referred to as the Beatitudes. Remember this is a Latin term that literally means “happiness or bliss.” Our Lord uses the word blessed nine times in this discourse. He is clearly ...read more

    Paul is chastizing the Corinthians for thinking they are spiritually mature when in fact they are still in need of the milk or basics of God’s word. The question this should cause us to ask ourselves is are we building or breaking!

    Intro: Why did Paul write this letter? He wrote it because the conduct of the Corinthians did not match their confession of Christ. Division, strife, incest it sounds like a soap opera gone bad. We have to remember many of the Christians that Paul minister came out of a corrupt and selfish ...read more

    Many doctrinal disputes within the Body of Christ are simply due to different uses of words.

    For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that divisions exist among you; and I partly believe it.
