When Paul wrote the book of 1 Corinthians, he had not yet written Philippians, Colossians, 1 & 2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon, Ephesians, or probably Romans. In other words, this letter to the church at Corinth was one of the first books that Paul wrote. Corinth was an interesting place; it was

Sin and evil are very real and difficult to resist. But when you choose to follow Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, you have recognized that it is worth it to resist evil. As we keep our mind on Him, He strengthens us to resist and overcome sin. This is a part of sanctification: becoming hol...

The Lord’s Supper, Communion, the Eucharist, these are all titles for the same thing. Today we are going to explore what taking communion means.

However, as Christians, when we are born again, our definition of life transitions from temporal to eternal. While some have difficulty grasping the ...

We must live together as believers in Jesus Christ. I am not talking about living in the same home or even community, I am talking about learning how to love and help one another as a good family should. In Jesus, we have been born again and are called to live differently than we once did. This m...
