The Carnal Christian: An Examination of I Corinthians 1 - 3 (Part 1) 02.06.2010 1:00:03 ↓

You may not be familiar with the term "carnal Christian" but you have surely heard the teaching behind the descriptive classification. The carnal Christian doctrine relies on a specific interpretation of the first four verses of the third chapter of Paul's letter to the Corinthians. In that chapter, Paul writes to a congregation about a specific situation in their life but tells his readers that h...

In this final section of the letter to the Hebrews, the author asks his readers to remember their former spiritual leaders and the great unchanging truths they taught them.

Hebrews 13:1-6: The Public and Private Christian Life 12.05.2010 57:14 ↓

Unlike most New Testament authors, the writer of Hebrews has not saved all his practical application until the end of the letter. Instead, he has interspersed doctrine and duty throughout the sermon.

Hebrews 12:18-24: Moving Onward to our Current Destination 28.04.2010 54:43 ↓

We often long for the good ol' days but not many of us would want to give up modern conveniences like cell phones, the internet, and air conditioning. The book of Hebrews was to say the same thing on a different level to first-century Jews who had converted to Christianity. Their new faith in Christ led to significant problems in other areas of their life. They are disowned by family. They are bei...

Hebrews 12:12-17: Running Your Race with Other Believers 21.04.2010 1:06:32 ↓

In the previous section of Scripture, the author explains "the secret" behind all the difficult times the readers had experienced and were currently experiencing. Their afflictions did not just come into their lives at the hands of fate and destiny.
