    So many of us build our lives upon things that will one day crumble: wealth, status, possessions, even health. But Paul reminds us to fix our gaze not on the sandcastles of this world but on what will last forever.

    Go! And Fix Your Eyes on What Will Last Forever 2 Corinthians 4:18 (NLT): “So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.” Introduction: Seeing the ...read more

     | 311 views

    Paul reminds the Corinthians that true Christian leadership isn't about  credentials but pointing people to Christ. Our transformed lives are the Holy Spirit’s “letters of recommendation,” of God's truth.  

    Letters of Recommendation GOOD MORNING. This morning, we’re looking at our Epistle lesson, and letters of recommendation if you saw that. You might have needed one for a job, a college application, to rent an apartment. I’ve written lots. But what is your ultimate letter of recommendation? We can ...read more

    The Apostle Paul will help us to understand the secret of contentment it’s not found in a fountain that provides perpetual youth, or being 18 again or in money or success… but in the Lord!

    Paul never got over Jesus’ choice when instead of sending him to hell, he saved him and put him into his service. Foreknowledge and grace came together when God turned the terrorist from Tarsus into a saintly servant of righteousness.

    Unlimited Patience, Indescribable Grace 12 I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service; 13 even though I was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent aggressor. And yet I was shown mercy, because I acted ...read more
