Answer Three: Sound Preaching Series

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Apr 9, 2015

The Corinthian church was deeply divided. Two of the issues dividing it were a dispute over what kind of preacher should fill their pulpit, and which former minister had contributed the most to their church. This same problem exists today.

To recap, a letter was written from the Corinthians to Paul and telling him about how divided their church was becoming. Paul answers that letter and we have it recorded as the book of 1 Corinthians. Paul offers them 11 answers to their division problem. The first answer was the cross. If the ...read more

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Apr 25, 2016

In a moment, Paul was transformed, where the confronter became the confronted. The hunter became the hunted. The accuser was now the accused. And while he thought he had the authority, in that moment he found himself powerless when he heard the true voice of authority.

One Way Hate

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jun 26, 2017

The Bible tells us that the world will hate us because it hated Jesus first. What does that mean to us? Should we consider the world to be our enemies? How should we respond?

Please open your Bibles to John 15:18-16:4 which we will read in a few minutes. In the Bible we often read of “the world”. The world consists of those who stand against Christ and His kingdom. In the time of Christ the world often referred to Jews who rejected the Jesus the Messiah. In a broader ...read more
