Because the Corinthians place such high value on the spiritual side of the spiritual gifts, those gifts of tongues and prophecy were being elevated above all the others. People with those gifts were being lifted up as being more spiritual than others...โดย Quentin Bemis

In the middle of his letter, Paul wrestles with our freedoms in Christ and the responsibilities we have to our brothers and sisters in Christ and those in the world around us. He tells us that our actions ought to be informed by our Gospel...โดย Shawn Green

The Church in Corinth had bought into the cultural philosophy that true spirituality only involved the soul. Outside of that, nothing else mattered, including a person’s body. As a result, the Corinthians treated their bodies as common place. They...โดย Shawn Green

Paul’s letter to the Church in Corinth gives us a look into issues going on in the early church and how they worked through them in light of the Gospel. At the heart of Paul’s letter to this church is an appeal for unity based on the body of Christ...โดย Shawn Green

God’s wisdom and power looks like foolishness and weakness to an unbelieving world. But, for those of us who are being saved by it, the Gospel is the power of God at work in and through us. On Easter, we’ll explore what would be different if Jesus...โดย Shawn Green

In one of the most beloved chapters in the New Testament, Jesus tells three stories about lost things being found: a sheep, a coin, and a son. In each one, he highlights the celebration that happens in Heaven when something lost is found and the love...โดย Shawn Green

In one of Jesus’ most famous stories, he answers the question, “who is my neighbor?” In other words, who are the people I ought to love and look out for? In a twist no one expected, Jesus made the traditional antagonist the protagonist of the story...โดย Tim Thompson

The message about the Kingdom of God is like a seed being planted into our hearts. For some, that seed is snatched away before it even has a chance to take root, or it’s choked out by the cares and concerns of life. But for others, the seed multiplies...โดย Shawn Green
