Paul's call to the office of an Apostle had nothing to do with personal merit; he says instead that he is "an apostle by the will of God," and this is what constitutes the ground of the authority he claims in the Corinthian Church.
Lesson 1.1: Address Scripture 1 Corinthians 1.1-1.3 1 Cor 1:1-3 (KJV) 1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother, 2 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all ...read more

The book of Joshua is about the Israelites doing battle to possess the land of Canaan; and by this point in the book, Joshua had already initiated the process of claiming the Promised Land and establishing new territory for the Lord. We can actually apply what we learn from the book of Joshua to ...read more

God is Light. The Light is the great revealer of one's spiritual condition. There can be a disconnect between what we claim to be our spiritual condition and reality. The Light of the Lord reveals the truth.

Are we children of God? Or do we just claim the name with charades and dismiss the character? Isn’t that what today’s text is all about? On a daily basis, we are called to live up to the name because the way we live is supposed to illustrate who Jesus is!
PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT Text: I John 3:1- 7 The story is told of Alexander the Great confronting a coward: "Alexander the Great had a soldier in his army who also bore the name Alexander. But this man was a coward. Alexander the Great called him before him and said to him, "You ...read more

Part 3 of 3 Many claim that the church is now Israel. After examining the scriptures, we cannot draw that conclusion without denying the accuracy of the Bible. This section looks at the promised and fulfilled inheritance of Israel.
Israel Inherits Promises of Old (Part 3 of 3) For every curse against the sin of Israel, God follows it with a promise if they repent. It is frequently claimed that once Israel rejected Jesus as their Messiah that God cut Israel out of His plan. From this point of rejection, those who believe this ...read more

In the Third Article of the Apostles’ Creed, we boldly proclaim that we believe in the Holy Spirit. What are we saying when we make this claim? What difference does this belief make in our lives?
1 Corinthians 12:1-11 “I Believe In The Holy Spirit” INTRODUCTION The Holy Spirit is probably the least known and understood person of the Trinity. We know that God the Father created all things. In our creeds we say that God is all-knowing, all-powerful, and is present everywhere. We know ...read more

In order to find true salvation we will need to give up on the things that we thought would get us to heaven and claim our place in heaven through Jesus Christ and be blessed by His presence.
Giving Up to Gain Philippians 3:4-11 Intro As we travel down the pathway of life, we all have at one time or another lose sight of reality.

What is the difference in Buddhism, Islam, Judaism and Christianity? Simple. Of the four major religions today only one claims an empty tomb. The resurrection is the miracle that makes a difference between a religion that is dead and one that is alive.
Why does the Resurrection matter? John 20:1-20 History records that Abraham who is known as the founder of the Jewish faith. 2000 years before the birth of Christ. His body remains in that tomb. History also records that in the year 483 BC that Buddha who about 80 at the time died from eating ...read more

The Da Vinci code claims that Jesus’ divinity was established by a close vote. This message looks at what Jesus said about Himself, what others said, what history proves about His divinity.
Cracking the Da Vinci Code #2 – Was Jesus God? Over the past 25 years there have been several attempts in Hollywood to smear, put down or challenge the Christian faith. For some reason Christians tick off the Hollywood elite. It may be the same reason that cockroaches, rats, skunks and mice don’t ...read more

Our minds belong to him; our bodies belong to him; the seed of all actions and behaviour are born in the mind and it is the ...read more
