The Gospel House

Carrying on from what Paul started in 1 Corinthians 1, we look at the logic behind embracing foolishness and weakness that comes when we understand the gift we’ve been given in the Holy Sprit.

Trouble is brewing in the Corinthian church, and it centers around the Corinthians draw to certain personalities in the church. All of which can be avoided if we remember to live by the standards of God’s upside-down Kingdom.

Nolan Dill asks the question, is there ALWAYS power in the name of Jesus? Or is that power contingent upon something else?

At the end of Acts 18 and the beginning of Acts 19, we see two strikingly similar stories, both centering around people who know ALMOST all of the Gospel. What was missing in their Gospel…and is it missing in ours as well?

Purpose has an incredible way of making incredibly difficult things worth it. In Paul’s final section to the Thessalonian church, he gives them a difficult command, but also an incredible purpose to fuel the fire!

So many people get so worked up about the anti-Christ, but should we?

One of the most important things we can do in our Christian walk is learning how to anchor in the right person- God - and to anchor everything to Him.

In Acts 18 we see Paul working for the Lord in two very different seasons and it teaches us now vital it is for us to make the Lord's work ow work as well as the way to do that.

In the final chapter of 1 Thessalonians, Paul shows us what it means to be children of Light, and how we are to successfully live in God's family, God's way.

Paul’s command to the Thessalonians is to comfort each other in the fact that Jesus is coming back. When we think and talk about end times events, are we comforting or causing fear and division? If we stay out of the weeds, we’ll find that comfort Paul is offering…even in the midst of the unknown.

Two times in 1 Thessalonians 4, Paul tells the Thessalonians to "excel even more". So how did they do it and how do we?

In chapter three of 1 Thessalonians, Paul doubles down on the things we saw in the first two chapters in some pretty cool ways.

When we proclaim the gospel the right way, in word AND deed, it's actually the same thing as discipling the right way.

The Easter story shows us the importance of desperation - desperation from us, and desperation FOR us.

Strange to call such a horrific day "good", but we do indeed celebrate the wondrous cross of Jesus Christ upon which he bought our salvation.

What all of the worshipers in the Palm Sunday story teach us about how to worship Jesus and how NOT to worship Jesus.

Three different cities, three different lessons from the Holy Spirit, as we travel through Acts 17 with Paul.

Never underestimate the power of obedience.

The beginning of Acts 16 shows us that God has a plan for every little detail, if we are willing to slow down and let the Holy Spirit lead us.

Paul makes it quite clear, both here in Galatians 6 and elsewhere in his letters (Romans 11), that there are two types of Israel: man’s Israel and God’s Israel. How we walk and the seeds we sow make all the difference in which kingdom we’re truly living for.

In Galatians 5, Paul continues the theme of showing us the difference between God's ways and man's ways, this time comparing the deeds of the flesh with the fruit of the Spirit.

In Galatias 4, Paul turns back to Abraham to show us two different types of children, children of the flesh...this world, and children of the promise… children of God.

In Galatians 3, Paul shows the churches in Galatia (and us) how the gospel was revealed to Abraham by faith, thus opening the door for anyone to become a child of God through faith in Jesus Christ!

In Galatians chapter two we see a dispute between Paul and Peter, and it shows us how we handle conflict in the gospel and also begs the question, how do we respond when confronted by the truth of the gospel?

In chapter one of Paul's letter to the Galatian churches he makes some ver important introductions - showing the problem they're facing as well as the only way to defeat that problem, and any other we may face.
