Dealing With Immorality In The Church Series

Contributed by Donald Mcculley on Mar 19, 2019

Paul has already dealt with divisions in the church. Now he has to deal with the issue of immorality. Many were being seduced by “the spirit of the age”. Note what Paul has to say. It is still a timely word for us today.

DEALING WITH IMMORALITY IN THE CHURCH I CORINTHIANS 5:1-13 INTRODUCTION: Needless to say we live in a sexually saturated society. As far back as April 15, 1993 USA Today reported that the average American man under age 40 has had seven sexual partners in his life. Paul has already dealt with ...read more

The Re-Orientation To The Program Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Feb 19, 2017

"All authority in heaven and on earth is given to me." It was, probably, this announcement that led to the inquiry which Luke mentions next. Being informed that all authority is now given to him, the disciples expected to see him begin to exercise it.

Win The Race Series

Contributed by Jason Grubbs on Jan 11, 2020

A Happy Ending Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 1, 2021

Job is saying, now he really knows God, and has a great concept of God. He, like so many, had dragged God down into the realm of mere words. God was a subject in theology to be explained, instead of a person to be encountered.

Job is one of the masterpieces of world literature. It is studied today even in secular colleges, and students are required to write papers comparing Job's sufferings with those of the Greek god Prometheus. I know this, because I just recently loaned a commentary on Job to my neighbor who had ...read more

Scared Straight #3 - The Writing Is On The Wall Series

Contributed by Robert Butler on Nov 9, 2020

Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams: This shows that purity of heart and faithfulness to God come before enlightenment in divine mysteries. Daniel will later receive great revelation, but now he simply shows himself a dedicated follower of God.

Two weeks ago, we began a new teaching series around the supernatural. We discussed the idea that Jesus' presence and works 2000 years ago represent an orderly working of the world many don’t recognise nor do they understand, so they call the events - supernatural.
