The Foolishness of the Cross

Paul is appealing to the Corinthians’ struggles with engaging the intellectuals of their region. The Cross, God’s method of salvation and communicating the Divine truth did not make much sense to most people. In this passage, Paul logically conveys and supports the notion of God’s unique method of choosing something so despicable to communicate the most profound truth ever. What does the Cross mean to you?

A Divided Church

Apostle Paul wrote this letter of 1 Corinthians in RESPONSE to REPORTS he received in regards to the Church in Corinth. In the report contained questions regarding certain topics such as: Marriage, Meat, Sacrificed to Idols, and Spiritual Gifts. So, Apostle Paul addresses these matters in the letter. But, the CONDITION of the church was also reported to Paul. And according to the report, the church was NOT doing so well.

Corinth, We Have a Problem

The Corinthian Church was similar to today’s Church in many ways.
Paul, who planted this church, is writing to settle disputes and bring proper order to a church that is in a disarrayed state. He reminds them of the power of grace and mercy which compelled them to begin their journey of faith. Today, we focus on the two major problems of the Corinthian church and learn to align ourselves to the work and words of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Get Out of the Boat

“Walking on the water” is kind of picture of doing something together as God gives

me the power to do it that I cannot do on my own. This means that, in following

Jesus, there is always going to be a choice between the comfort and the safety of

the boat and the risk of getting out. Today, we simply want to be propelled to live

according to faith. We want to address our fears as well as comfort in our own lives

making sure that we get to experience “walking on the water”.

Good Habits: Give to God What is His

What does God want from me? What does God desire from me?

What does God REQUIRE OF ME?

Such is the question that we ponder when we get serious with God…… when we are

really intentional about leading a Godly life. It begins, as it should, with asking this

important question.

Good Habits: Faith & Money

Money and our faith in God have long been intertwined as our attachment to money reveals a lot about our perspective and value of living life. Jesus’ teaching conveyed that our assurance (trust) should lie in Him and that we are motivated by things eternal than the things temporal. Also, we want to reflect our faith in the way we allocate our resources which we begin by being faithful in giving tithes and offering.

Good Habits: Reading God’s Word

Bible reading is one of the most important yet often the most neglected habits in

a Christian’s life. Spiritual maturity is not attainable without the consistent

practice of reading the Bible. Today, we learn about the importance and the

practice of having God’s Word in the life of Jesus Christ.

Good Habits: Care

[John 21:15-19]

So when they had finished breakfast, Jesus *said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John,

do you love Me more than these?” He *said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love

You.” He *said to him, “Tend My lambs.” 16 He *said to him again a second

time, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me?” He *said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that

I love You.” He *said to him, “Shepherd My sheep.” 17 He *said to him the third

time, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me?” Peter was grieved because He said to

him the third time, “Do you love Me?” And he said to Him, “Lord, You know all things;

You know that I love You.” Jesus *said to him, “Tend My sheep.

18 Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to gird yourself and walk

wherever you wished; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and

someone else will gird you, and bring you where you do not wish to go.” 19 Now this He

said, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken

this, He *said to him, “Follow Me!”

Good Habits: Prayer

1 Timothy 2:1-4

We will be in a series called Good Habits. During this series, we aim to have valuable and necessary spiritual discipline to become a part of our lives. We look to no other example than that of Jesus, and how he had made certain habits an important part of his life. Today, we will learn 3 things about prayer: priority, practice, and power.
