What is the church here for? What are you here for? What is your purpose? Paul has just finished telling the Corinthians that God has chosen the foolish and weak things of this world to do His work in the world, so that we have nothing to boast about except for Christ’s work in us.

Let's meet the church at Corinth! There were problems in the church: they were defiled, divided, and disgraced. But God had done great things for them, and still had a plan for them! This is the first of a series.

It's easy to believe God when there's money in the bank, health in the body, and peace all around us. But what about when things are falling apart? Elijah is celebrated in the New Testament as a man of faith, but he was called to believe God in one of the darkest times of Israel's history.

Who is Jesus? We don't have to guess. He introduced Himself to us. The three sermons in this podcast contain three of his "I Am" statements: "I am the bread of life"; "I am the Good Shepherd"; and "I am the resurrection and the life."

You can be victorious over temptation!

This second part of the series deals with loving God with our soul, mind, and strength -- everything we have.

It seemed an odd promise to make, from one dying man to another. But the Savior of the world, dying on a cross, promised an eternity in paradise to the thief on the cross with Him. There is hope for everyone! No matter your sin, no matter your distance from God today, if you're willing to look to Him and ask for help, He is willing to forgive!

God calls His people to a "total love." Listen as we find out what that means and how it can be done.

The apostle Peter wrote that we are to be holy as God is holy. What does that mean? Is it even possible?

God's plan for His people is not to give us "just enough grace to get by." Rather, He wants to pour Himself into us until we overflow with His grace for others.
