The Corinthians had drifted from the gospel and as a result they were no longer 'standing' in the truth of what it meant to be either a Christian or a Church. The Apostle writes to them to remind them of what the gospel truly was - and why this was necessary.

The Apostle Paul concludes his epistle to the Corinthian believers by reminding them if 10 things they had sorely forgotten. In this podcast I look at the second of these - a reminder of how they had received the gospel.

The first century Corinthian church had lost its understanding of what the gospel truly meant. They had become beguiled into accepting what certain false teachers had been saying against the apostle Paul and had been led to believe that there was more to Christianity than what Paul had been able to tell them. As a result they, they now bragged about their new found knowledge and spirituality. This is why Paul exercised his apostolic authority to correct the Corinthians and rebuke them for their lax stance on godly morality and conduct. In First Corinthians 15 he begins to remind them of the basic truths of the Christian gospel and indicates to them just how ignorant they had become despite them arrogantly claiming that they possessed more knowledge than the apostle himself.

In order for a local church to be healthy, it needs to have a healthy culture. In this episode, Dr. Corbett expounds on why this is important and what it looks lie — and what it should not look like. He then offers two practical suggestions for how a local church can build a healthy culture.

A church is more than just a building; it's more than just a meeting on a Sunday meeting; it's more than a global organisation - it is primarily a local community of Christ-followers. These believers are called together by the Holy Spirit to be a worshiping, witnessing, welcoming community of sons and daughters of God the Father. A local church is also called to be "salt and light" in a society. This involves being prepared to speak up and speak against wickedness and injustice. Thus, a local church has a role to be prophetic. Dr. Corbett shares how they can do it.

Christianity is grounded in the physical resurrection of Jesus Christ. There is now good evidence to believe that the folded grave cloths of the crucified Jesus of Nazareth, the shroud used to cover His body, and the face cloth to place over His face, have been preserved even to this day. In this presentation Dr. Corbett presents some of that evidence and why Christ's resurrection is relevant for each person.

It is known as Good Friday. But why? It is the penultimate moment in human history when the Creator of the Universe entered into His creation. In this message, Kim and I share why Good Friday really was GOOD Friday.

Ecclesiology is the study of the church. Local churches are all a part of the global Church which made up multiple denominations and traditions. There is one thing that is often neglected by a local church and it is not just their foyer or carpark - it is their pathway. In this session Dr. Andrew Corbett discusses how a local church can begin to develop their pathway.

Becoming a Christian is the entrance to belonging to a church family. There is a growing trend for Christians looking for a more meaningful engagement with their local church when they gather. The Apostle Paul described the gathering a church as being a time when the presence and power of the Lord Jesus Christ was experienced and obvious. In this episode of the ecclesiology series we discuss what the New Testament says about what the church is to do when it assembles.

The reason every Christian should be increasingly aware of ecclesiology is quite simple. When someone becomes a follower of Christ because of the miracle of conversion, they are “baptised into the body of Christ” as Paul told the Corinthians.

In this episode we discuss the principles for revitalising and refocusing a local church so that it can "glorify Christ throughout generations" (Ephesians 3:20-21).
