Church Is Not About My Rights. It's About You. (1 Corinthians 9:1-27) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Mar 12, 2022

Paul modeled a better approach for the Corinthians, at great personal cost. Don't focus on your rights. Focus on the other.

In last week's passage, Paul tried to convince the Corinthians that they needed to stop going to idol temples and eating idol meat there. The Corinthians-- at least some of them-- thought that doing this was okay. They viewed this question as an issue of knowledge, and as an issue of freedom. ...read more

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Mar 19, 2022

Praise The Lord

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on May 1, 2024

Praise is central to our worship of God and it is our praise that makes Him known to the world. When we Praise the Lord, we acknowledge our desperate need for Him and honor His greatness. When we Praise the Lord, our focus is diverted from our circumstances to His awesomeness.
