A Daily Walk on Oneplace.com

The city of Corinth was engaged in idolatry big time. There were also several pagan temples in the city and each one was quite popular. You can see why the apostle Paul felt it was so important to get the message of Christ to these people -- that their hopes shouldn’t be placed in things made by the hands of men, but rather in the hands of the One who made men. Today we'll learn that Christian liberty doesn’t include the freedom to sin!

How could they do such a thing! When was the last time you thought that? Maybe it came to mind the moment you heard of a church leader falling into sin. Or perhaps right after you hear that somebody at work was fired for wrong behavior. Today on a Daily Walk we’ll see that pride is a problem in the church today. We’re just as capable of falling into sin as the next guy or gal! And that’s why we need to lean on the Lord and draw on His grace. Pastor John Randall highlights the danger of overconfidence in this study based in First Corinthians chapter ten.

We continue our series in First Corinthians today. In a culture full of moral depravity and sinful activities, the apostle Paul encouraged the Corinthian believers concerning the issue of temptation. His writings remind us today that yes everyone gets tempted, but God will always provide a way out for us. We’ll look at the dangers of overconfidence, as the apostle Paul looks back on Israel’s history.

Everyone knows that athletes must subject themselves to physical training in order to prepare their bodies to be successful in their chosen sport.

Today pastor John Randall explains what it takes to win in this lifelong Christian race!

There are ministry opportunities all around us, from vacant roles in the children’s ministry at church, to our neighbor who is hurting, not to mention the great needs overseas. And if you’re a Christian, I hope it’s your desire to be involved in the ministry! But the question we bring before you today on a Daily Walk is how can we be effective in the ministry? We’ll look at the apostle Paul’s approach to help us get there.

What would you be willing to give up or sacrifice to reach the lost or to be effective in the ministry God has you in? Would you let go of a liberty or right that you have? It’s good for us to think about these things and we’ll do just that today on a Daily Walk. We’re in the middle of pastor John Randall’s series in First Corinthians, and in chapter nine we’re challenged to be sacrificial just as the apostle Paul was.

Here in America we focus a great deal on our rights and freedoms. But as we’ll see today on a Daily Walk sometimes as ministers of Jesus we’ll need to give up some of our rights and liberties for very good reason. Pastor John Randall has us consider First Corinthians chapter nine and a time when the apostle Paul gave up his rights as an apostle for the sake of his fruitfulness and effectiveness in the ministry.

We have great liberty in Christ, but does that mean anything goes? Maybe you’ve heard some of your friends excuse their wrong behavior, thinking that’s the case. Our salvation is a free gift from God and isn’t obtained by works or legalistic rules. However, as we’re about to see, Christian freedom and Christian responsibility go hand in hand.

How do we make decisions on issues that the Scripture doesn't specifically address? Today on a Daily Walk we’ll be considering that very thing. Though the scripture doesn’t address every specific issue it does provide us with what we need for life and godliness. We are given principles that we can apply in our decision making. And some of these principles are found in First Corinthians chapter eight. In first century Corinth some were troubled by the eating of meats sacrificed to idols. Though we don’t face that specific issue today there is a principle given here that’s extremely helpful.
