Luke 1:46-56 46  And Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord, 47      and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, 48  for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant.     For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed; 49  for he who is mighty has done great things for me,     and holy is his name. 50  And his mercy is for those who fear him     from generation to generation. 51  H...

17  But in the following instructions I do not commend you, because when you come together it is not for the better but for the worse. 18  For, in the first place, when you come together as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you. And I believe it in part, 19  for there must be factions among you in order that those who are genuine among you may be recognized.  20  When you come togeth...

2  Now I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I delivered them to you.  3  But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife[ a ] is her husband,[ b ] and the head of Christ is God. 4  Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head,  5  but every wife[ c ] who prays or prophesies with h...

1 Corinthians 5:1-13 1 It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is not tolerated even among pagans, for a man has his father's wife.  2  And you are arrogant! Ought you not rather to mourn? Let him who has done this be removed from among you. 3  For though absent in body, I am present in spirit; and as if present, I have already pronounced judgment...

Divisions in the Church 3 But I, brothers, 1  could not address you as  a spiritual people, but as  b people of the flesh, as  c infants in Christ. 2  d I fed you with milk, not solid food, for  e you were not ready for it. And even now you are not yet ready, 3 for you are still of the flesh. For while there is  f jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh and behaving only in a human...

1 And I, when I came to you, brothers,[ a ] did not come proclaiming to you the testimony[ b ] of God with lofty speech or wisdom.  2  For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.  3  And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling,  4  and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power...

18  For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19  For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,     and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.” 20  Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?  21  For since, in...

10 I appeal to you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment. 11 For it has been reported to me by Chloe's people that there is quarreling among you, my brothers. 12 What I mean is that each one of you says, “I follow Paul,” or “I follow Apollos,” or “I follow C...

1  Paul, called by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus, and our brother Sosthenes, 2  To the church of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints together with all those who in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours: 3  Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 4  I give thanks...

Acts 28:23-31 23  When they had appointed a day for him, they came to him at his lodging in greater numbers. From morning till evening he expounded to them, testifying to the kingdom of God and trying to convince them about Jesus both from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets. 24  And some were convinced by what he said, but others disbelieved. 25  And disagreeing among themselves, they departed...

God provides a hope for people that they cannot provide for themselves.

Jesus is enough.

The call of God will sustain you through the trials.

Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who are elect exiles of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,  2  according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and for sprinkling with his blood: May grace and peace be multiplied to you.

The Lord shows no partiality - come to Him and He will save you!

Big Idea: Jesus brings light into the darkness of our lives. 1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  2  He was in the beginning with God.  3  All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.  4  In him was life, and the life was the light of men.  5  The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcom...

Jesus uses us to change the lives of others!

When God opens our eyes to the gospel, our lives are lived for Him.

There are no barriers to who the gospel can reach - follow the Spirit’s leading!

The gospel is free to all but it must be received with the heart.

Our trials are opportunities for us to be faithful.
