    The Holy Spirit leads us into unity so where do you think all this division originated?

    1 Corinthians 3:1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. 2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. 3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is ...read more

    Why is it that we come to church? Why do we open ourselves up to the possibility that we might have to confront ourselves, to repent and even to change?

    How many of you have heard someone say, “Why do I have to go to church? Can’t I be just as good of a Christian at home, reading the Bible, doing good deeds, praying by myself, maybe watching a favorite preacher TV in the comfort of my own living room? Why should I bother getting up on Sunday ...read more

    Perhaps the original grievance was resolved, between one brother and another. The brother was ‘regained’ (Matthew 18:15): but what if he offends again?

    SIN AND FORGIVENESS. Matthew 18:15-35. 1. Regaining the straying brother. Matthew 18:15-20. ‘The Son of man is come to save that which was lost,’ declared Jesus (Matthew 18:11).

    God’s watchful eye.

    On the backside of a one-dollar bill, we are reminded that we are being watched; that eye on top of a pyramid is officially called “the eye of providence: God’s watchful eye.” Although the masons, still today a forbidden group for Catholics to join, adopted the image, the eye was actually added by ...read more

    How good if all fighting – disagreements, squabbles, arguments, conflicts and worse – ended because we understood the cost and consequences!

    “If your brother or sister sins against you, go and point out the fault when the two of you are alone. If you are listened to, you have regained that one. … Again, truly I tell you, if two of you agree on earth about anything you ask, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven.

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jun 9, 2022
     | 1,626 views

    Paul's judgment reveals the redemptive purpose of discipline - for the sinner as well as for the purity and witness of the church.

    Paul, like a spiritual father, admonishes the Corinthians whom he regards as his spiritual children. • He cares for them like a nursing mother and corrects them like a father would, urging them to walk in a manner worthy of God. (cf. 1 Thess 2:7,11) • Paul taught them in word and by his example, ...read more

    Hate Crimes

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Feb 10, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,091 views

    Jesus believed in hate crimes, because God knows the heart. Jesus urges us to resolve our murderous thoughts, make it right when we can, and settle out of court, all so that a watching world will take note of how Christian brothers and sisters get along.

    Matthew 5:21-26 Hate Crimes The FBI defines a hate crime as a “criminal offense against a person or property, motivated in whole or in part by an offender’s bias against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, or gender identity.” A hate crime is not the same as hate ...read more

    Jesus has just told the Parable of the Good Shepherd. The shepherd goes after the straying sheep. Then Jesus spells out what WE need to do when we see a member of our church falling into sin and straying.

    INTRODUCTION We sometimes hurt people. I can think of times when I’ve hurt people. And people sometimes hurt us. I can think of times when I’ve been hurt. It happens in families, in workplaces and in churches. There was a time when Paul was planning to visit the church in Corinth. But he was ...read more
