1 Corinthians 8:1-13
Three Images of the Church
1 Corinthians 3:5-23
Making Room for God
We are naive to think that just because God is at work, others around us will be happy and accepting of it. After being with Cornelius, the Roman centurion, and seeing God give the Holy Spirit to a group of Gentiles, Peter was rebuked by Jewish background Christians. Their attitudes could have stood in the way of what God was doing. Can we be in danger of the same kind of thinking and attitude today?
The Cost of Selfish Generosity - Acts Series #11
The account of Ananias and Sapphira can be difficult for us to process. Why would a loving God cause a couple to drop dead over one lie? What we often forget or underestimate is the nature of the holiness of God, our sin and the call on our lives as followers of Jesus to live holy lives.
Be The Church
In this message, former Faith EMC pastor John Stanley calls for followers of Jesus to not settle to ‘do’ church, but to ‘be’ the church. “God has called us to the greatest thing ever… to be his representatives to a hurting world.” Being the church is not an easy road to take however. There will be disappointments, obstacles and failures. Despite this, God’s view of us never changes. We need to hold onto God’s view, so we can allow Him to do His job through us.
