    Paul tells the Corinth believers that they are not ready for solid food, not because their digestion system has not developed but because of attitude.

    Introduction It would be good to review for a moment the discussion of the book so far. Paul is concerned about divisions in the church. The Corinth saints have begun to form parties, or at least identify themselves, under the names of church leaders. Chapter 1, verse 17, reveals what is at the ...read more

    Money is a gift from God. It is put in our hands as a tool and as a test. So don’t love it, don’t live for it, don’t trust it and don’t hoard it.

    [I’ve taken the major pointers of this sermon from Rick Warren’s sermon on Setting Financial Goals - Growing through Goal Setting Part 2, May 26-27, 2007.] If you go around asking people “What is the greatest need you have?” a high chance the answer is money. • We spend so much of our lives ...read more

    I believe in this day and age the Church is in the condition it is and can be summed up by understanding the importance of HEAVY LIFTING. I believe we have stopped doing the HEAVY LIFTING required to lead the Lost to Christ.

JOHN 12:32 One of the things I enjoyed about lifting weights is there's no gray area – • You either manage to lift a certain weight - or you don't • There are clear successes and clear failures • Either you Can or you Can’t • This ...read more

     | 5,675 views

    The importance of protecting the unity of the church and practical principles and steps for doing so.

    We'd like to think that the church is immune to conflict and disagreement. After all, we're all Christians here. Right? Well, don't be naive. Hopefully, we're all striving to be like Christ. But we're also humans who sometimes fall short. We say things or react before we ...read more
