    Courting Danger Series

    Contributed by Guy Glass on Jul 6, 2005
    based on 8 ratings
     | 4,646 views

    Ultimately the biblical issue is Church division. Just as there can be internal actions that divide the church, there can also be external actions that divide the church. Paul hopes to set a biblical standard here for believers to follow.

    COURTING DANGER 1 Corinthians 6:1-8 INTRODUCTION: When I hear the word courting, my mind immediately goes to thoughts of dating, courtship and marriage.

    In Pursuit Of Peace Series

    I am firmly convinced that more than a timeless letter about the gospel of Christ, Paul wrote Romans as an effort to unify a church on its way toward division. Romans 14 is the climax of that effort.

    Proclaiming His Majesty Series 2006 In Pursuit of Peace Romans 14:1-23 The other night at worship, my son, John Austin, asked Sheryl, "Mom, why does everybody call daddy, Brother Mitchell?"

    Often we make a division that somethings are sacred and some things not. Thsi sermon highlights that everything has been given to us to use for God’s purposes, of loving Him and loving others.

    How we see things affects how we relate to them. Some years a go a man who works in the area of caring for the homeless was asked by a journalist, “how come you seem to have so much respect for them” “no matter what mood they are in, or how they are acting you show them more love than anyone else ...read more

    As the Apostle Paul is touching upon questions which the church at Corinth requested clarification, we see a situation which further caused division among the assembly; women assuming or usurping the man’s place.
