    In this sermon we're looking at how Paul addresses the Corinthians who had wrongly believed they were more spiritual than others. A growing Christian life has no place for pride. Paul teaches that we should be considered as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.

    1 Corinthians 4:1-5 “A Higher Praise” March 19, 2023 This week we also continue in the book of the first Corinthians. It’s another book written by Paul around 25 years after Jesus' earthly ministry. Corinth is the original sin city. As a Coastal town people were always coming and going. The ...read more

    Satan wants to keep us from making progress in our spiritual life. With the Lord’s help, though, we can keep on climbing. To avoid sin’s tragedy, learn Satan’s strategy.

    Is there a real, personal Satan and a kingdom of evil against which we are in spiritual combat?

    Today we are looking at a rather remarkable story of Jesus as he leaves Nazareth and goes to Capernaum. As is his habit, he goes to the synagogue to teach. Again the people are amazed. But Luke tells us that the reason the people are amazed at Capernaum is not because of his gracious words, but ...read more
