Let's Learn about The "GRACE of God" (1 of 6)
by Ken Trivette
1. I am sure many of you have seen the billboards with messages from God on them. They first began appearing on highways and buses in Ft. Lauderdale and Broward County, Florida. Since then they have appeared across the nation. The billboards first came about when a client, insisting on anonymity, approached “The Smith Agency” in Ft. Lauderdale to develop a campaign promoting God. The Smith Agency crafted 18 separate messages that were launched in September 1998. Some of the messages that have appeared on these billboards are: 2. Today, I want to create my own billboard and put on it a message I think God...
You Can Endure: Assurance of Victory
by Joe Alain
Temptation is one of the realities that we have to deal with as Christians. Being a Christian does not mean that we will not face temptations. In fact, we may face even greater temptations. The problem of temptation is real and the struggle sometime is overwhelming. Temptation often plays out like the following scenario: We are tempted, enticed, then we fall and give in to the temptation, then we feel the guilt that comes after the fall. We start listening to the enemy who says, ''I thought you were a Christian. Christians don't do that.'' Because we listen to the enemy of our soul, we sometimes find ourselves caught up in a...
The Support Gifts That Equip the Church (5 of 16)
by Ernest Easley
We are unwrapping gifts on these Sunday nights and I pray there is a gift for you! Last Sunday night after worship I was stopped on the way out of here by one of our members. They said, "Pastor, I'm getting a ittle worried." I said, "What are you worried about?" She said, "Well... I've been here every Sunday night and so far... we have not unwrapped any gift for me." Let me say that if you have been saved... if you have had a life-changing, salvation experience through the Lord Jesus Christ... there is a gift for you! In fact... I believe there are gifts for you! Every Christian... every saint... every born-again child of God has been given at...
God's Hall of Fame
by Adrian Rogers
Take your bibles please and turn to First Corinthians 1. Last Sunday we spoke on conquering through the cross and we spoke of the work of the cross, the word of the cross and the way of the cross and we left our reading in verse twenty five. Now we will begin our reading in verse twenty six. And our subject matter this morning will be a message that I brought to our seminary here in their founder's week, a message I think that needs to be sounded again and again and again. The people that God deems to use, the people that God chooses to use, the message that we're calling this morning, GOD'S HALL OF FAME and I want you...
First Corinthians (1 of 4)
by Jesse Hendley
Now, friends, if you have your Bibles, I would like for you to turn with me to Paul's Epistle to the Corinthians, and we are going to begin a study today of this remarkable epistle, remarkable because it is so up-to-date! It is up-to date because the people back in the days of Corinth, when the Apostle Paul was there in about A. D. 50, were the same as people today. There have been some changes, but it is the same human heart, the same human condition. We are going to see that as we journey through this book. This first letter that Paul wrote to the Corinthians is a CORRECTIVE epistle. There were all sorts of problems going...
1 Corinthians: The Perfect Church (9 of 29)
by Roger Thomas
Introduction: A rich man went to his preacher and said, ''I want you and your wife to take a three-month trip to the Holy Land at my expense. When you come back, I'll have a surprise for you.'' The preacher accepted the offer. He and his wife went off to the Middle East. Three months later they returned. The wealthy parishioner greeted them at the airport with the news that while they were gone, he had built a completely new church building. He had designed and paid for it himself. ''It's the finest building money can buy, '' he explained. ''No expense was spared. It has every feature to make it the perfect church building!'' He was right...
Paul Answers the Marriage Crisis - 1st Corinthians Chapter 7 (16 of 28)
by Harley Howard
The church of Corinth had written Paul about many areas of the Christian life. Paul now begins for the first time in his letter to the church to answer some of the concerns on the hearts of the Corinthian believers. The questions Paul answered in the 7th chapter had to do with the subject of marriage, or in their case, the marriage crisis. Paul had spoken in chapter 6 on the dangers of sexuality outside of marriage. Then he turned to the duty of sexuality within marriage. It was possible that abandonment of marital duties on the part of some in Corinth had contributed to the immorality he had just described. I am convinced that...
Don't Suffer Loss like Saul: Sifting through the Crash Site (9 of 49)
by John Barnett
Life is so distracting, isn't it? Sights explode before our eyes all day long; sounds and smells flow around us—in fact so much swirls around us and before us, we can get totally distracted. It can become so easy to just float through life going with the flow of the current of the world. How did Paul and the other New Testament writers operate in ordinary life? How did those who were the most visible servants of the Lord in the Scriptures, operate in all the little things that fill life? What is fascinating is, they all seemed to keep track of life like a day trader—each knew their investment and sought a return on each day's "works". If you read closely the...
What Is a Steward? (2 of 3)
by Stan Coffey
I Corinthians 4:2 "Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful." As you look at this passage of scripture saying, "It is required in stewards," you might ask yourself the question, "What is a steward?" Well a steward is a servant. In Biblical times, wealthy men would often times have many investments, many businesses, many interests. So they would put in charge in different portions of their business, people called stewards. The steward was one who did not own the business, but he was one who was entrusted with the success of the business and with the carrying of the business for the benefit of his master. The...
Loving People with Courtesy (4 of 4)
by Steve Jones
INTRODUCTION: A Department of Water Resources representative shows up at a Texas ranch and talks with the old rancher. He tells the rancher, ''I need to inspect your ranch for your water allocation.'' The old rancher says, ''Okay but don't go in that field over there.'' The water rep says, ''Mister, I have the authority of the Federal government with me. See this badge? This badge means I'm allowed to go wherever I wish on agricultural land. No questions asked or answered. Have I made myself clear? Do you understand?'' The old rancher nodded politely and went about his chores. Later, the rancher hears loud screams...
The Exceptional Value of Singleness
by Michael White
The past several weeks we have been talking about marriage and the family. We've discussed the foundation of marriage. God owns the patent on marriage and we look to his design and order in roles of submission and authority. We've seen biblical definition of love. What does love in marriage actually look like? And this morning we;re looking at singleness. How do singles play part in the church and in the family? We have a lot of questions in life and probably one of the most important questions is should I get married? because how you answer that question will have massive implications for your life. The corinthian believers...
Four Questions on Speaking in Tongues (2 of 3)
by Scott Maze
Video of University of Alabama's 2018 NCAA championship game appears before me. Shortly after the game, the young, inexperience QB was asked: ''How, in the name of Bear Bryant, did [you] rise to this ridiculously pressurized occasion and become an instant hero?'' ''I was praying,'' Tagovailoa said. ''I was speaking in tongues. It kept me calm.'' This morning, I want to speak to you about ''Experiencing on the Holy Spirit'' by looking at the relationship between the Holy Spirit and the speaking in tongues. Is there untapped power in the speaking in tongues that all of us need? I invite you to turn to Acts 2 and 1 Corinthian...
The Carnal Corral (46 of 66)
by Tony Thomas
The theme of 1 Corinthians is found in chapter 6: 9 Do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit God's kingdom? Be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, 10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor slanderers or swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And that is what some of you were! But you were washed, sanctified, and justified in the name of the Lord. There once was a time when society recognized right from wrong; things were either acceptable or unacceptable. But today the lines are blurred, and it didn't happen overnight. It was gradual and systematic....
Growing Older, But Not Growing Up - Pt. III (12 of 40)
by Ernest Easley
We are learning these days from the New Testament book of 1 Corinthians that Kingdom Authority belongs to every children of God! Julie and I enjoy having two of our grandchildren at our home at least one day a week, sometimes more, depending upon how they are behaving at home. Those two boys know that when they get to Papa and Grandma's house; that they are going to get to play with certain toys that they don't have at their home. I do believe that they have more toys to play with at our home at ages 3 and 2, than our children had their entire life, living at our home. Well, I've noticed something recently: they...
Women in Ministry (5 of 8)
by Zach Terry
INTRODUCTION:The fastest growing and most influential religious movement in our nation is a loosely held system of beliefs that falls under the heading, ''The New Spirituality''.The new spirituality has gone to great lengths to distance itself from the old New Age Movement - crystals, ufo's, yoga and the like. It is rather an open box, a cornucopia of whatever thoughts and - borrowing from each religion only those things which do not contradict the others. The leading spokesperson for this movement is Elizabeth Lesser, the President of the Omega Institute. Lesser suggests that, ''New Spirituality'' has looked back over the years...
