    Paul would know no one but Jesus! There's no one greater to know, no one loves us as much, only He can save us, He's the only way to heaven, and He's God's only choice to redeem the world. Who is this Jesus to YOU?

    NOTHING BUT CHRIST 1 Cor. 2:1-2 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. An avid golfer told his wife he might have give up golfing. “Why?” she said. “Because I can’t see where the ball lands, and so, I can’t find my golf balls.” “Well, why don’t you take Uncle George with you; he’s got good eyesight.” “Are you ...read more

    Just as in Adam all die, so in Christ all are made alive.

    CHRIST THE FIRSTFRUITS. 1 Corinthians 15:19-26. Without the resurrection of Jesus Christ, there is no gospel at all (1 Corinthians 15:12-13), and we are of all men most vain and miserable (1 Corinthians 15:14-19). Thankfully, we are reminded with a sigh of relief, Christ is risen from the ...read more

    The Return Of Christ Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Mar 24, 2022
     | 2,499 views

    When a believer dies, others are not to grieve like those who have no hope in Christ. But for believers we are grieving for ourselves and our loss, not for the person that died. This assurance believers have is because of the hope we have in Christ.

    Do we know the exact time of the return of the Lord? Yes, we do! But didn’t Jesus say, “that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven” (Mathew 24:36). Yes, He did say that. Then how do we know the day and hour of the return of Christ? It is when the trumpet sounds. It is just ...read more

    A college boy was explaining the reason he flunked out in college was because he had a clinker in his thinker.

    Did you know that about ninety-nine-and-nine-tenths of the problems that confront people is because they have that same problem--they have a clinker in their thinkers? We laugh this off as not being important, but God sees the way people think as being very important. Illus: We see this in the ...read more

    We have looked at our REDEMPTION, and praise the Lord for this. In this message we will look at our REVELATION. (And, in the following message we will look at our REWARDS.)

    In verse 3 we are told that God wants to bless us. Then Paul gives us a grocery list of things in the next few verses that God has blessed us with. Illus: One of the biggest days of the church year should be Thanksgiving Day. Why? It is obvious. Because we all have so much to be thankful ...read more

    It is my prayer that by this time you are closer to the Lord. Illus: We do not have to be like the man who had been hired to paint lines on the highway. As the story goes, this man’s job consisted of painting the white lines in the highway. -The first day he painted three miles of lines. -The ...read more

    As we preach through Ephesians we find it is not a difficult book to UNDERSTAND.

    Illus: Speaking of things DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND reminds me of the story of the man who was walking on the beach one day and he came across a bottle. He kicked it and a “Genie” came swooping out. The “Genie” thanked him for releasing him from the bottle and told the man he was so thankful that ...read more

    Paul preached the Gospel faithfully and without fear, fulfilling the Lord's call for his life to proclaim His name to the Gentiles and kings. The biography of Paul is being written, not so much as events unfold but as the Lord determines.

    LET US PRAY: Grant us the faith to believe you and trust you fully, for all that you’ve revealed to us in your holy Word. May we be enlightened and encouraged today. Bless this time, we pray, in Jesus’ Name, AMEN. --------------- We have been seeing in the book of Acts the fulfilment of the ...read more

    St. Francis of Assisi, Stigmatic 2019 It was the encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ that gave us the miracle that was Saint Francis of Assisi.
