Richard continues this week in 1 Corinthians 10, where Paul addresses Israel’s history with Idolatry and gives advice to flee from it. He tells the Church at Corinth that they cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too. In today’s age, we tend to either over-attribute everything to demons or […]
We move into 1 Corinthians 8 this week looking at how we are to handle ourselves and our convictions around others that may have differing convictions. There are core doctrines that are clearly defined in the Bible, and there are convictions that Christians hold that are not clearly defined in the Bible. If our convictions […]
This week we take a look at 1 Corinthians 7, where Paul spends time on marriage and singleness. We know there can be pros and cons of each lifestyle, and Paul encourages us to stay in the lifestyle the Lord blessed us with. As we dig in to verses 17-24, we see Paul turn from […]
Richard brings us back to 1 Corinthians to pick up where we left off in Paul’s teaching to the Corinthians as they grow in faith and how we can apply these lessons to us today. In 1 Corinthians 6, we see a couple of things that can really pertain to us in 2024. We should […]
As we prepare to move into a new year, Richard reminds us of Paul’s teaching on what it means to be new in Christ. We are to put off the old self and put on the new. Paul illustrates this truth in Ephesians 4:17-32, where we are called to speak truth (not lies) and build […]
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. They have riches, they reign, and don’t want for anything unlike the apostles that struggle and are treated like the garbage of the world. In America, we have the ability […]
