Letting The Gospel Shine Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jan 25, 2011

1st Corinthians 11 is one of the most controversial and misunderstood sections of Paul's writings. We'll explore it using culture, context, character, and language to find out what Paul is and is not saying to the Corinthians and to us today.

The first thing to know about this section is that it is not about marriage or the role of women in the church. It is about having respect in worship for each other within our culture. Just prior, Paul was telling us to have respect for the conscience of others who are weak in terms of the freedoms ...read more

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 13, 2024

Have the churches been faithful in relaying the gospel, or has Christianity become something infused into the culture without being a dynamic force? Wicked men flourish. In Judah the people were spiritually blind and deaf. We need to take note ourselves.

The Hunchback

Mother's Day: I Have Been Reminded

Contributed by Melvin Newland on May 14, 2014

Covenant Of Obedience

Contributed by J. Yeargin on Aug 7, 2006

There is a new problem within the modern day New Testament church that is growing. That is – many Christians are now under the impression that obedience is no longer needed. Whether or not people obey God’s commandments doesn’t seem to be as important as

COVENANT OF OBEDIENCE INTRODUCTION: Most (if not all) of us find it only natural to want to do whatever it is that God wants us to do. We may have learned this nature while growing up.
