As we wrap up the Heritage series, Richard takes us back to the beginning… The very beginning with Adam. Just as sin and death entered the world through Adam, Paul points out that this was in the same type as the Coming One. Christ entered the world and brought us grace and eternal life; a […]
Last week we looked at David in Jesus’ lineage, this week we take a look at Solomon. In 1 Kings 8 we see the commemoration of the Temple that would last for generations. Eventually this temple would be destroyed and rebuilt by Herod. Jesus entered the temple Herod built and foretold that He would destroy […]
In this mini-series, we will explore Jesus’s heritage and what it foreshadowed for the Messiah. We take a look at David and how he ruled over Israel. In 1 Chronicles, David is described as ruling over Israel with justice and righteousness. In Isaiah 9, it says that the Messiah will “He will reign on the […]
In 1 Corinthians 5, Paul tackles the church tolerating sin within it. Paul tells the church at Corinth that they are tolerating something that even the Gentiles do not tolerate. Paul advises the Corinthians that this toleration of sin is like tolerating yeast in the dough for unleavened bread. If you do not address and […]
This week, as we move into 1 Corinthians 4, we look at Paul’s message to the Corinthian Church as having everything they want or need.

Richard is back this week bringing the message from 1 Corinthians 3. Here, Paul expends more on the faith of those in Corinth, though the words may be a little harsh. Paul describes them as being infants, or babies, in the faith living off of milk. Paul started them off with milk as they were […]
We move into 1 Corinthians 2 this week. Paul explains to the Corinthians that he did not come with conventional human wisdom and performance to share the Gospel; but with God’s wisdom and our willingness to share the Word, he can work to soften hearts. Even if our words aren’t the greatest and we aren’t […]
This week, we go back and start working through 1 Corinthians and see some of the divisions that are arising. These divisions are cause by the believers stating who they follow, but Paul reinforces that we should be focused on Christ crucified. As long as we are focusing on this, there should be little division […]
Richard starts a new series in Corinthians that will explore Paul’s teaching to the Church in Corinth as they grow in faith and we will see how these lessons will apply to us today. We start at the end of 1 Corinthians to lay the groundwork as we work through the book. Everything we do, […]
