In 1 Corinthians, God is getting the church to think straight in three areas; wisdom, freedom and spirituality. In chapter 5 Paul starts to address topics of sexual immorality and the seriousness of sin. Both the Corinthian church and our church in...

The Israelites have crossed the Red Sea, but now they are out of food and water. During this study we’re going to see that faith in God is a muscle that is built. As it is exercised and challenged it grows, and that is what God does with the his...

Proverbs 24:26 says ‘An honest answer is like a kiss on the lips’. Criticism is hard, we don’t like it, but Paul is writing honestly to the church, calling them to repentance. He isn’t interested in making them like him. He is going to correct them...
