    This is the sermon I preached at my cousin’s funeral. There were many there who was living in sin including gang members. It was the first time I’ve ever had to preach a funeral where there was doubt about the person’s salvation.

    The gong is only mentioned once in all of scripture. Why would Paul use it to start the famous "Love Chapter" and what warning does it contain for us today? (This sermon was preached as part of the series by this name preached by Jeff Strite.)

    Dearly Beloved, we have gathered here today to celebrate the love…is often the words we hear preceding the reading of 1 Corinthians 13. It is good that we read what has come to be known as the Love Chapter at a wedding, because it reminds us as we are uniting a couple in love for the rest of their ...read more

    It is hard to believe that anyone would oppose Paul, but there were believers in Rome doing just that. The churches there were divided. Some preached Christ sincerely, wanting to see people saved. Some preached Christ insincerely, wanting to make . . .

     | 3,375 views

    Paul preached about God’s grace whereas his opponents preached contrary to Paul’s message arguing that the law required circumcision. Why would a prisoner who has been granted freedom want to return to prison?

    Paul was under obligation to preach the unashamed gospel that was God’s authority for salvation. We look at human decline and wickedness that is in society today; the suppression of truth and the wrath of God.
