Growth Is Success Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 6, 2021

Paul is not scolding the Corinthian Christians because they are immature babes in Christ. That would be as foolish as scolding a baby for not being a man. It is not only legitimate, it is absolutely essential that churches have immature babes.

Conrad Hilton, president of the world's leading hotel organization, has all his life prayed for God's guidance to help him grow. Mr. Hilton is a professing Christian who, like many other successful Christians in the world of business, feels that we should never be content with what is ...read more

The Battle For Success Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 6, 2021

Paul is convinced that failures can become successes. He knew this for he was one of the most successful failures in history. One of the great themes of literature and the Bible is this theme of success out of failure.

In the 35 years following the Civil War 3 success writers towered high above all others, and they became successful by writing about success. All 3 were ordained men. One of them was Russell Conwell who was the pastor of the Baptist Temple of Philadelphia. He delivered his famous lecture over ...read more

The Motivation To Succeed Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 6, 2021

Paul is so negative here that we know their must be another paradox involved, for he is a positive thinker. We can only conclude that somehow a negative approach is sometimes the most positive method of influence.

Successful people almost always attribute their success, in large measure, to the influence and inspiration of some other person. Henry Ford tells of how he was in a period of uncertainty about building his gas engine. He was discouraged about it, and was letting the idea go dead in him. It was ...read more

Immaturity (Sixth Sunday After Epiphany, February 12, 2023)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Feb 10, 2023

In the very first verse Paul has stepped on toes! There are two words that illustrate well how Paul stepped on their toes. These two words, “carnal” and “babies” lose some of their emphasis as they are transliterated from Greek to English.

IMMATURITY Text: 1 Corinthians 3: 1 – 9 1 Corinthians 3:1-9 And so, brothers and sisters, I could not speak to you as spiritual people, but rather as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ.

What Makes Us Worthy?

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jun 23, 2018

What does the Apostle Paul mean when he says we can come to the communion table "unworthily"?

Normally when I minister the first question I ask is “How is the blessed of the Lord?” I’m not going to do that today. I am going to make a declaration. You are the blessed of the Lord. You are the son and the daughter of God Almighty. Everything in heaven is available to you. You are healed. Your ...read more

Feasting On The Word

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Mar 5, 2018

First, we looked at the account between Jesus and the woman at the well where he offered her living water. Then, after Jesus fed the 5,000 plus he told them he was the bread of life. Today, we'll see the importance of feasting on God's word.
