(1 Corinthians 11:23-34)…..23 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; 24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” 25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink …
(1 Corinthians 12:12-31)…..12 For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and have all been made to drink into one Spirit. 14 For in fact the body is not one member but many. 15 If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body,” is …
(1 Corinthians 14:6-25)….. 6 But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you unless I speak to you either by revelation, by knowledge, by prophesying, or by teaching? 7 Even things without life, whether flute or harp, when they make a sound, unless they make a distinction in the sounds, how will it be known what is piped or played? 8 For if the trumpet makes an uncertain sound, who will prepare for battle? 9 So likewise you, unless you utter by the …
Many people live their lives with little regard to the goodness of God. Unaware or forgetful of how gracious God has been, and is toward them (Psalm 33:5). The truth is the Lord has shown His goodness to all people. Have you given much thought to the goodness of God towards you (Romans 2:1-11)? His goodness led you and I to repentance, that’s how good He is! And we do not deserve such goodness. Repentance is intended to produce Godly sorrow in us (2 Corinthians 7:9-10). Godly sorrow produces …
(2 Thessalonians 2:13-17)….. 13 But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth, 14 to which He called you by our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle. 16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and good …
(2 Thessalonians 1:1-4)….Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: 2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is fitting, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all abounds toward each other, 4 so that we ourselves boast of you among the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your …
(Jude 1)…..Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to those who are called, sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ.” Jude is of the same group who would identify themselves as the “called” of Christ. The same is true for us who believe on Jesus Christ for our salvation. We have been called by God…..
This calling was not …
(Romans 16:21-27)…..21 Timothy, my fellow worker, and Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, my countrymen, greet you. 22 I, Tertius, who wrote this epistle, greet you in the Lord. 23 Gaius, my host and the host of the whole church, greets you. Erastus, the treasurer of the city, greets you, and Quartus, a brother. 24 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
Grace! There may be no sweeter word known to mankind. It is by Grace that God has granted us His merciful kindness by, turning …
If you had the blessing of joining our service yesterday in person, or online, you would remember that Pastor preached on Paul’s challenge to Timothy to be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. So I thought I would continue with the topic of grace in todays devotional. (Titus 2:11-14)…..“For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing …
Man left alone, without Christ, will produce his own philosophy of who God is, and his own philosophy about eternal things (Romans 1:20-23). But, as (1 Corinthians 1:20) tells us, God has destroyed the wisdom of the wise, the scribe, and the disputer (philosopher) of this age, making them look foolish. How? God in His wisdom established that men/women would never find God through worldly wisdom (human intellect) no matter how hard they tried. Instead, it pleased God to make Himself known through the preaching of the gospel, saving …
