The Gospel: Based On God’s Word Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Nov 17, 2015

Paul demonstrates from Scripture that salvation is by faith not law. It is impressive when you consider Paul is using only the Old Testament Scriptures of Geneses, Leviticus, Deuteronomy and Habakkuk to establish that salvation is by faith.

A prominent Theologian was once asked, what is the deepest Theological truth you have ever come to understand. His response was, “Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so.” The beloved children’s song reveals deep theological truth. Jesus loves me, and I know this ...read more

Stop Sleeping With Your Step Mum Series

The Corinthians were Paul's favourite church, but what a mess! Sexual sin was rife, including one young man sleeping with his step mum. So Paul has a fight on his hands...

In the middle of what I think is Paul’s second most combative letter to one of his churches. The first is Galatians – where he is tackling the issue of Judaizers who want to take the believers away from grace and back to the law. The Corinthians were going the opposite way. They had ...read more

Lesson 2: Thanksgiving For Their Faith, Hope, And Love Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Apr 21, 2018

Paul’s thanksgiving becomes unconventional because of his insertion of “God”: he is giving a genuine thanks to the one true God, not making a casual reference to whatever the gods were in Thessalonica, at the time.

4/8/18 Tom Lowe Lesson 2: THANKSGIVING FOR THEIR FAITH, HOPE, AND LOVE (1Th 1:2-4) Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 1:2-4 (NIV) 2 We always thank God for all of you and continually mention you in our prayers. 3 We remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by ...read more

Both Saint And A Sinner

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Sep 30, 2024

In the beginning of Paul's First Epistle to the Corinthians, Paul refers to these quarrelsome and divisive members of the Church of Corinth as "Saints." Can I be both Just and a Sinner, at the same time?

Thank you to Tullian Tchividjian, a Lutheran pastor from whom much of the message theme is borrowed. There’s something wonderful our Epistle lesson today that can be overlooked, in that Paul calls the Christians living in Corinth “saints.” In fact, “Saint” is a term he uses to describe all of us ...read more

Hope Of The Resurrection

Contributed by John Lowe on Jun 18, 2014

In this passage, Paul identified himself with the writer of Psalm 116. Paul, like the psalmist, had experienced the “terrors of the grave,” and God’s deliverance. “Death had its hands around [Paul’s] throat” (Ps. 116:3), and He knew that he could die.

Fellowship In The Gospel

Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Mar 29, 2001

Paul tells his firends at Philippi that they are partners with him in the Fellowship of the gospel as it is expressed in Thanksgiving, Prayer, Love and Service.

FELLOWSHIP IN THE GOSPEL There’s a key phrase in the opening verses of Paul’s Letter to the Philippians: in verse 5 of the Authorised Version he refers to "Fellowship in the Gospel". I wonder what comes to mind on hearing these words? Money isn’t the only thing that can be devalued. Words, too, ...read more
