Who's Not Ashamed?

Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Aug 15, 2015

When most hear the phrase “not ashamed”, their minds think of the declaration by the Apostle Paul - “I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ." In this study, we focus on two lesser known passages that speak of another person who has said they are “not ashamed”.

God Is All Around Us

Solomon had a vision that included all the peoples of the earth. He realized that God’s house wasn’t only for the covenant people, but for the seekers of the whole world as well. Nothing can contain God. He is big enough to handle all of our problems.

How would you like to be remembered? Some of us want to be remembered with just a simple tombstone, while others want to be remembered for who they were and what they did in life. King Solomon wanted to be remembered as the person who built the temple. The reading we heard from 1 Kings 8:22-30, ...read more

Handling Shameful Sin In The Church Series

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Aug 25, 2015

Too often churches of today overlook the sin and sinful lifestyle of a person because they are a leader in the community, government, or business. So the Corinthian church needed to wake up and learn something.

Tonight’s passage is a continuation of last week’s passage. The subject is church discipline. To recap, there was sexual immorality in the church at Corinth. A man was either married to or living with his step-mother. He was known in the church and known in the community. His sin ...read more

Jesus

Contributed by Dr. Gale A. Ragan-Reid on Mar 13, 2015

What betrayal convicts the heart of man?---not the heart of the man who committed the offense, supposedly but the one who suffered the offense. Is the heart of the sufferer on the mercy seat as much as the offender who committed the offense, supposedly.

God's Gift Of The Magi

Contributed by Craig Condon on Mar 30, 2015

The Magi were humbled by the state of reverence that they felt for the Christ Child. That, my friends, is the appropriate motivation for worship in our church services today. We need to put away our pride and worldly baggage and worship Christ sincerely.

Well, the 12 days of Christmas are over for another season. All of the decorations are down and put away for another year, and the presents have been opened.

I said last time that in Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians concerning what to do about their divided church, Paul gives 11 answers to their problem. The first answer, Paul said, was the cross.

Joseph Is Invited To Accept Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Dec 14, 2015
