Paul calls the Corinthians "babes" - they are ignorant in the faith. When we live as babes in the faith, we live as adults according to the flesh. Those who live a carnal lifestyle will not inherit the Kingdom of God. We need to live according to the Spirit!

America celebrates 250 years of the principles of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. From where did they get those ideas? Mostly, from the Bible! If we want to live in true liberty, we must live a life in obedience to God and love for Him.

We continue our look into Philemon. Again, this is the Gospel message in action. I think the key take-away message from this epistle is confidence in Christ, in His salvation, and in His Church.

Paul is not writing to a local church, nor does he speak directly about topics such as justification or resurrection. However, in his shortest epistle, written to a friend, the true Gospel is woven into every sentence in his plea for Onesimus. Let's see what we can learn!

God's manifold wisdom is demonstrated through the Church - even the angels see God's glory in His Church! Let's be encouraged in belonging to this great institution for God's glory.

This Father's Day, Elder Pragasen teaches us about the power of observation. As fathers, we sometimes underestimate the observation capacity of our children. Are we setting a righteous example?

The Israelites had great pillars of cloud and fire guiding them through the wilderness. And yet, they are still called a stiff-necked and rebellious people. We don't have those kinds of tangible manifestations of God's presence. But the point remains: it's not about what we see on the outside; it's about our heart posture. If you want to be led by God, your heart needs to change!

Inbetween the narrative, John gives us a brief commentary. This is Isaiah's prophecy being fulfilled - some people will believe and some will not. For those who do believe, God will not let them go. No matter how often we might try and sabotage our faith, He will keep us until the last day!

Pastor Paul shares some encouragement for those going through really difficult things at the moment.

There is only one truly good "nationality": the body of Christ. How do we live as citizens of Heaven? Paul tells us: good examples, good witness, and good community. Beyond these things, we might be walking as enemies of the Cross!
