    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Sep 26, 2017
     | 8,981 views

    In 1 Corinthians there was an atmosphere of chaos and so the apostle Paul writes a letter. And in that letter he reminds them of the focal point of what he taught them when he was there and that is, "Jesus Christ and Him crucified." Is that all they need?

    Please open your Bibles to 1 Corinthians 2:1-5 which we will read in a few minutes. The church in Corinth in the Bible was filled with problems. The simple act of communion had been perverted into a feast for the rich to gorge themselves in front of those who were poor and had no food. The ...read more

    Once we see God as our provider, not our convenience, we will share Him with others because of what He's given us. He satisfies all that we could ever need/want, and deserves all the credit for what He has done.

    based on 44 ratings
     | 11,990 views

    Many people want to see changes taking place in their lives. The usual prescription given today is, "Just try harder!" But that doesn’t produce true, genuine, lasting life-transformation. In James 4:6-10 James teaches how God changes a person.

    Scripture I once read a Peanuts comic strip where Lucy told Charlie Brown that she would hold the football for him to kick. But when he ran up to kick the ball, she pulled it away. Charlie Brown went flying through the air and fell flat on his back. Well, one day Lucy went up to Charlie Brown and ...read more

     | 194 views

    Cain sought God’s favor without surrender, but Christ’s blood still speaks—calling every heart from self-made worship to obedient, Spirit-filled revival.

    The Conflict at the Altar Every human being builds an altar. Some offer obedience; some offer opinion. Every life lifts something before God—work, worship, wealth, reputation—and waits for fire to fall. That is where the story of Cain and Abel begins: two brothers, two altars, two hearts, one ...read more

    The rich young ruler’s question was off-base. It assumes that we can do one overriding deed to win God over; it is possessive; and it is self-centered.

    I am not very good at giving gifts. I just have a hard time, when Christmas and birthdays and anniversaries roll around, a hard time giving the right gifts. It’s not that the folks I want to give to are picky or unworthy; it’s just that I can’t seem to figure out what they want and get it. For ...read more

  • The Call Of Jesus Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Jun 16, 2025
     | 684 views

    While Jesus announces for the first time to his disciples his call to the cross, He calls us to confess who he is and calls us to live a crucified life.

    I would guess that we are probably similar in that we get so many unwanted calls each day. Somehow, I’ve been getting calls for some group who says they can get me on Social Security Disability. Other times I’ve been on the list for VA loans - except I’m not a veteran. I’ve received calls for ...read more

The title of my message this morning is “At Least I Am Not That” and it is a message about being self-righteous.
