Letting The Gospel Shine Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jan 25, 2011

1st Corinthians 11 is one of the most controversial and misunderstood sections of Paul's writings. We'll explore it using culture, context, character, and language to find out what Paul is and is not saying to the Corinthians and to us today.

The first thing to know about this section is that it is not about marriage or the role of women in the church. It is about having respect in worship for each other within our culture. Just prior, Paul was telling us to have respect for the conscience of others who are weak in terms of the freedoms ...read more

How Hardships Work For Good

Contributed by Greg Nance on May 25, 2013

Acts 5 gives us two cases where the church faced hardship. One was internal and the other was external. Both were used by God for the good of the church. How can that happen for us today?

(Read Acts 5 with slides) What does it take to ruin a church? What does it take to stop God? Acts 5 gives us two stories about threats to the church, one from the inside and the other from the outside. First. The threat from the inside produced two deaths and great fear upon the whole ...read more

Seeking The Face Of God

Contributed by John Quigley on Jan 12, 2013

What does it mean to seek the face of God? Listen to King David in Psalm 27.

David writes in Psalm 27:8 "Come," my heart says, "seek his face!" Your face, LORD, do I seek. We modern day folks find this to be strange I think at best. Seeking God's face? What does that mean, God is spirit, you can't see his face. Yet we read today in Matthew 4, that Jesus came and called His ...read more

THE POTENTIAL PROBLEM The Wall Street Journal printed an article entitled: That Sermon You Heard on Sunday May Be From the Web; November 15, 2006; Page A1.
