    Contention Intervention

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 24, 2022
     | 1,523 views

    The kind of conflict---contention that the Apostle Paul addressed in the early part of I Corinthians is very similar to that that existed in the split that resulted in the formation of the “Ant-peg Baptist Church”.

    I Corinthians 1:10. I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought. 11. My brothers, some from Chloe's household ...read more

    Sent, Not Settled Series

    based on 2 ratings
     | 836 views

    The early church, described in the book of Acts, was anything but comfortable. It was a church that was sent, not settled—a church that moved beyond the familiar to reach a world in desperate need of hope.

    We are living in a time when comfort has become king. We love to settle down, get comfortable, and create spaces that are predictable and safe. We build churches with padded pews and air-conditioned sanctuaries, and we attend services that are carefully planned and well-executed. And yet, if we’re ...read more
