The Subtle Sin Of Snobbery

Contributed by Paul Cull on Sep 10, 2006

Snobbery affects us all but is contrary to - the nature of God, - the law of God, - the grace of God, - and the life of God.

Women And Christianity Pt. 1 Series

Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Dec 16, 2013

The teachings of Christianity were revolutionary. The ideas and doctrines found in the New Testament were radically different from the ideas and doctrines found in the rest of the world. One area where this was true was the status and rights of women.

The advent of the Feminist Movement in our Country in the late 1960s and early 1970s promoted the assertion that women were oppressed, being deprived of their equal rights and equal opportunities in society. They attacked Christianity as being patriarchal by denying women the opportunity to be in ...read more

Phoebe The Deaconess Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 3, 2021

Phoebe was a deaconess in a town about 8 miles from Corinth. She was likely a wealthy widow, and like Lydia was able to travel because of her independence and resources. Such women have been key people in the progress of the church all through history.

In May of 1972 deacons from Baptist churches throughout Virginia gathered for a special conference dealing with the work of the deacon. The leader noted a number of women in the crowd. He welcomed them as wives of the deacons. He was quickly set straight when it was pointed out to him that they ...read more

Romans 3:21-31 Series

Triune Marriage Series

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 25, 2011

Just as the church is made one with God through Jesus Christ, man and women are made one through Christ. Christian marriage consists of three people: husband, wife, and Jesus.

Many preachers would probably prefer to avoid today's passage if at all possible. The idea of submission isn't particularly popular in today's world. In fact, when the Southern Baptist Convention issued a newly revised declaration in June of 1998 that included a special section on marriage and ...read more

Church Order

Contributed by Mike Gillett on Feb 28, 2007

Corinth has been long noted as a church with problems… and one of those problems was disruptions, disruptions during worship.
