Learn From When God Struck Down His Own People (1 Corinthians 9:18-10:14) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Mar 19, 2022

Paul beats his body--- is ruthless toward it-- because he understands the dangers of giving in to sin. Idolatry, and sexual immorality, are dangerous.

This week, in chapter 10, Paul continues to make his argument against going to idol temples and eating idol meat. He begins like this, in verse 1: "(1) For." Now, whenever we start reading somewhere, and the first word we read is "for," we should have one single thought run ...read more

Wait Upon The Lord

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 20, 2022

Life is full of highs and lows, from the mountain top to the valley; and God’s people were in a low spot. If Judah would learn to "wait on the Lord," then God would enable them to fly, run and walk across the finish line to victory!

Wait Upon the Lord Isaiah 40:27-31 I’ve entitled our message this morning, “Wait Upon the Lord,” but I could have easily justified calling it “Fly, Run and Walk,” and you’ll see why as we continue along. But since much of the message is focused on flying, I want to open with an illustration that ...read more

Bloom Where You’re Planted

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 17, 2022

Life circumstances may not be ideal where we are. We may be struggling. Perhaps we feel that we could serve the Lord more effectively in a better situation or different location. But God wants us to bloom where we are planted!

James Oppenheim said, “The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise grows it under his feet,”(1) and this is what the Lord wants every believer to understand. We’re supposed to find fulfillment and contentment right where God’s placed us, and to bloom where we’re planted. An ...read more
