    Contributed by Richard Tow on Oct 7, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,416 views

    The message examines love as the motive for what we do. The context of the Love Chapter is the operation of the gifts of the Spirit (listed in 1 Corinthians 12 and regulated in 1 Corinthians 14).

    Intro Our text today is found in 1 Corinthians 13. After addressing the nine gifts of the Spirit in the first part of 1 Cor. 12, Paul introduced an analogy of the human body to teach these believers the importance of valuing and caring for one another.

    We have a responsibility as watchmen to sound the alarm of impending judgement for those living contrary to the Word of God. Are you telling those that you love about Christ and what an eternity without Him will be like?

    You Are A Watchman Scripture: Ezekiel 33:1-16; Luke 10:25-29; First Timothy 2:1-4 “(1) Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying, (2) ‘Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and say to them: 'When I bring the sword upon a land, and the people of the land take a man from ...read more

    Ready For Anything (Part 4: Going On The Offensive) Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Jul 9, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,241 views

    This exposition from Ephesians 6:10-18 deals with the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit. The prayer called for in verse 18 is part of the teaching concerning spiritual warfare. While a good defense is necessary, Christians must go on the offensive and fulfill the Great Commission.

    Intro We are dealing with spiritual warfare using Ephesians 6:10-18 as our text. Every Christian needs to know how to do spiritual warfare because every Christian is a soldier. Like it or not, you are in a fight with the devil. His intentions toward you are not good. He hates you because he hates ...read more
