We covered chapter 5 in 1 Corinthians.

We went through 1 Corinthians chapter 4 this week. Get your Bibles open and follow along.

We covered 1 Corinthians chapter 3 this week! Get your Bibles out and follow along!

Scripture was 1 Corinthians Chapter 2! (Note I said this chapter was Paul elaborating more on chapter 1 verses 18 through 35 - there is only 31 verses in chapter 1, so apologies for that error)

Covering passages 1 Corinthians 1:18-31

Starting out with our “Church in Corinth” series, we laid out some context of the church and then went to God’s word, reading verses 1-17 in 1 Corinthians.

May the message offer conviction, encouragement and growth. Dear child of God, know who you are and for whose name’s sake you live for - in joy and suffering.

(Excuse the audio quality, as it does have a “old school” feel to it) How do you pray? Jesus lays out the model for how we are to pray and even how we are to live. Prayer is an expression of weakness and dependency on our Father in Heaven. It does not matter how long you have been a Christian, prayer can be difficult.

Legalism and religion are often noted together, but Christianity is a religion that is not based around legalism. Legalism is us resorting to the “flesh”, even after we may have started our faith in the Spirit. Listen up and get your Bibles out!

Pastor Josh explains what it means and looks like to hear from God. So often we hear ourselves and our flesh and claim it is from God, but once again God has given us reassurance and discernment through His word on how to know whose voice you are hearing.

This message is filled with a lot of heeding, warning and encouragement for us as to being wise to who we are listening to, learning under and even “following” online. Preachers, evangelists, prophets and ministries are popping up everywhere, and sadly many of them have selfish motives behind what they are doing. This is nothing new sadly when it comes to the church. Pastor Josh opens up about his...

Agape Center Ministries sermon from 1/24/2021. Focus passages are 1 Timothy 6:11-16, 2 Timothy 4:7-8, 1 Peter 3:8-4:19, Ephesians 6:12 (At the end of the sermon, Pastor Josh addressed the church regarding “color talk” when it comes to liberal and conservative. Liberal or “free thought” unhinged us from thinking the way the world thinks and brought us to objective truth as Christians, which we are...

Message from Agape Center Ministries 1/10/2021. Page turning noises in the beginning, because we don’t use IPads/tablets 😎 Mark 9:42-48 is the reading.

An “impromptu” message from Pastor Josh. Open your bibles to Philippians 4:4-9

This week we taught on the gift of speaking in tongues. We allowed some brief dialogue amongst the body on this topic in the beginning of the message due to the gathering being smaller in size, so stick with us throughout the entire message and may it bless you!

Enjoy this summary of our messages on the Holy Spirit and the gift of prophecy!

Paul reminds us of the significance of prayer, being wise in how we act around non-believers and making sure our words are seasoned with salt and a constant recognition of God’s grace.

Paul gives us a pretty straight forward look at what a Christian household should look like and what roles we play. It all is based around the understanding of “submission”, and doing away with what culture and even adverse experience deceives us in thinking it means. True submission is voluntary, and it is always to show reverence for Christ.

Living in the Spirit is the only way to have peace rule in your hearts. Ridding yourselves of the earthly things that bring about chaos and wrath is only done with the power of the Holy Spirit. Today we read out of Colossians 3:1-17, so get your bibles out.

Chapter 2 of Colossians hits on a lot of things going on in the church when it comes to false humility and tradition. He once again reminds us to hold fast to the Gospel and the identity of that.

Starting our Colossians study and going through Chapter 1. Get your Bibles open and follow along.

Summary of our weeks reading out of Mark chapter 4, verses 1-34. Get your Bibles out and join along.

This is a summary of the sermon from 8/23 at Agape Center. Reading is 1 Corinthians 10:23-33

Following our August 30th baptism service, we stayed in Romans and read through Romans 12 for the next few weeks. Here is a summary and teaching of that chapter :)

We are reading out of Numbers 14:17-18. God has attributes that to us may seem contradictive, but simply lay out His Holy and Just nature, which all meet at the Cross on Calvary.
