Biblical Truths from West Palm Beach church of Christ

When I was young, there were some really great looking cars. Datsun had some pretty nice sports cars. Honda put out a CRX, which was a small, sporty car. Even Ford released the Probe which was pretty nice looking for Ford at the time that generally had boxy cars up to that point. The Mazda […]

The thirteenth chapter of 1 Corinthians is a chapter that is widely known, yet routinely taken out of its context. This is another situation where the arbitrary chapter breaks interfere with the author’s message. Before this chapter Paul wrote to the Corinthians to teach them that though they have different spiritual gifts, they were dependent […]

Isaiah has prophesied that Israel has two needs to be delivered from: national slavery as they will be carried away into Babylonian captivity and spiritual sinfulness. From Isaiah 44:24 to Isaiah 48:22 God is announcing how he is going to save Israel from Babylonian captivity. Then in chapter 49 God will begin to describe in […]

How are Christians to function together? There is a great challenge that must be considered when we think about the local church. Think about all of us. We are different ages.

The apostle Paul is writing to the Corinthian church about spiritual gifts so that they would not be uninformed and would have their faith confirmed concerning these gifts.

In Isaiah 41 we saw Isaiah denigrate idols because of the idols’ inability to explain the meaning of the past and tell the future. In Isaiah 43 Isaiah criticized trusting in idols because idols are unable to save the people. […]

We are studying the great prophecy of Isaiah. Presently, Isaiah is declaring the glorious gospel message of how God will send a servant who will bring about the forgiveness of sins. But God wants us to appreciate this salvation message. God says that he is the only God. “There is no other God— there never […]

We began our study of spiritual gifts last week by examining how spiritual gifts were given to Christians. We noticed in that study that the scriptures repeatedly describe Christians receiving spiritual gifts only by an apostle laying his hands on a Christian (Acts 8:15-18; Romans 1:9-11; 2 Timothy 1:6-7). Paul writes this section concerning spiritual […]

Today we are kicking off our summer series as we study miraculous spiritual gifts. Our text for this study is 1 Corinthians 12-14 where Paul writes to the Corinthian church about miraculous spiritual gifts. There has been a resurgence in charismatic teachings and increasingly people seem to be drawn to seeking the gifts of the […]
