In the book of 1 Thessalonians, the Bible speaks about Paul, Silvanus, Timotheus, and the church of the Thessalonians. Where did it all begin? Here we find a "case study" of the birth of a local church. Of course, it began in the heart and mind of God, but God records it for us in the book of Acts.

This is message 26 in 1 Corinthians 1 Corinthians 14:21-40 Paul has been working at attempting to give clarity over the use of tongues.

This is message 25 in 1 Corinthians 1 Corinthians 14:1-20 Pride makes people very selfish. Instead of being selfish, we need to think of others and how to help others.

This is message 23 in 1 Corinthians 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 The signs gifts were a temporary miracle provided by God for the First Century Church to prove that this new institution of the Church was indeed from God.

Our Lord emphasized the value of the church. In the fifth kingdom parable. Christ taught that Israel is God's treasure. Israel rejected her Messiah and was hidden, or set aside, for a time. This sixth kingdom parable allows us to see that God's work was not finished when Christ was rejected by the Jews. His work in this world continues through His church. The church is this "one pearl of great pri...

This is message 22 in 1 Corinthians 1 Corinthians 12:12-31 There are two views of what is meant by church in the Bible. Some people claim that the church refers to an invisible mystical body that people become a part of once they accept Christ as their Saviour. Others lean towards the emphasis of a local church. Good people are on both views. Using proper biblical hermeneutics, we can discover whi...

This prayer serves as a model of faith and reliance on God's goodn...

The light is going out in our nation. The great influence of America is diminishing. The only hope we have as a nation is for revival. If we are not going to lift high the banner of Christ and be an example of godliness for the world, we will have no light to shine. The light that is left is the lift found in Bible-preaching churches. And of course, the light that is left is the light in Christian...

This is message 6 in Labor in the Church. Numbers 3:14-37 The Kohathites had the unique privilege of bearing the furniture of the Tabernacle. However, they complained about the labor.

This is message 5 in Labor in the Church. Jeremiah 8:4-22 This is the sad condition we find in America. It’s fine to be a believer, but don’t be serious about. Just be ‘slightly’ religious. Our lives, churches and school are just slightly different than the world. It won’t work. We are doing more harm with a “slightly” Christianity than helping.

A Christian home is a home where people are living their faith each day. Many people who are Christians do not have Christian homes because they are not putting the things God has instructed into their homes. In this lesson, we will learn that God's Word gives us the ingredients of a Christian home and tells us the responsibilities of each individual in that home.

This is message 21 in 1 Corinthians 1 Corinthians 12:12-26 The Holy Spirit places people into a specific body with a specific purpose.

This is message 04 in Labor in the Church. Isaiah 56:1-8 God is addressing discouraged people.

This is message 20 in 1 Corinthians 1 Corinthians 12:1-11 Spiritual gifts are not the same as natural gifts. Some naturally gifted people are not godly. When anyone gets saved, the Holy Spirit gives them gifts. The use of these gifts also doesn’t make them godly. The Corinthians had all the gifts; they, however, were the most carnal and worldly of believers. Don't forget to download our app for mo...

The Bible says that God has made us spirit, soul, and body. God has designed that marriage be more than a unity; it is to be a union. This union is not to be just a oneness in body, but a oneness in spirit, soul, and body. The spiritual union that we have with God and one another is of greatest importance; it lays the foundation for everything else. Let us look to God's Word and find the things th...

This is message 19 in 1 Corinthians 1 Corinthians 11:17-24 The Lord's Supper is a time when we remember the Lord Jesus Christ and His finished work at Calvary to forgive us our sins.

This is message 18 in 1 Corinthians 1 Corinthians 11:1-16 Paul is still dealing with difficulties in the church.

There are times when it appears as if the foundations have been destroyed. Do not be troubled. It only appears to be so. David faced such a time in his life as a young man in the palace of Saul. The leader of Israel was not doing right, and it seemed as if the foundations were destroyed. David learned not to trust in the king of Israel but rather in the King of heaven. He knew that God Almighty wa...

This is message 16 in 1 Corinthians 1 Corinthians 10:1-14 We all go through the same things in life. None of us have a unique case that nobody else ever went through. How we respond is our test. Some people state that God will never give us more than we can handle. That is not what vs. 13 says. God will give us more than we can handle, but with it give us a way of escape. That way is Jesus Christ....

This is message 15 in 1 Corinthians 1 Corinthians 9:15-27 Paul said he would rather die than not preach the gospel. When he preaches the gospel, it is not about himself but the Lord.

Our lives are simplified when we accept God's conclusion concerning life. He says, "Fear God and keep his commandments." We can know what God desires for us because we have His Word. We must simply fear Him and do what He would have us to do. This is the conclusion of the whole matter.

This is message 12 in 1 Corinthians 1 Corinthians 7:1-40 In chapter 7, Paul is answering a question asked by the church. The question they asked showed their lack of spirituality. With everything going on in the church, they should have been asking how to deal with the other issues. Instead, the big question they wanted to know: to express their spirituality the married men wanted to demonstrate t...
