Because of the false teachers received by the church of Corinth, the Corinthians had trouble recognizing Paul’s apostolic authority. But it wasn’t so much about Paul as it was about the gospel. Paul was just a messenger; the gospel is the message. When we recognize the authority of the gospel, then we are recognizing the […]

We do not provide for God; God provides for us. Anything we do for the Lord is a response out of what He has already done for us. And what has He done? He has given us Jesus, according to His promise. All we can do at this point is respond to God’s gift, believing […]

Although no one wants to go to battle, some things are worth fighting for. The good news is that God equips us for battle through His Son Jesus Christ and through God the Holy Spirit. If we were to face these things in our flesh, we would fail; when we face these things in the […]

Following the death of Saul, people knew God’s will was for David to be king, yet they asserted their own desires instead. Do they succeed? Only temporarily. Eventually whatever plans man devises comes undone, while the will of God rises to the surface. The longer we resist God’s will, the more we hurt ourselves in […]

Proverbs 14:12 says, “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.” Some things look right to us at the first, but if that thing is not of the Lord, it only leads to trouble. Although God never promises that life will be easy, He would […]

Giving is an opportunity to worship and to participate in the overall work of God, glorifying Him as we follow in the example of Jesus. iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/preach-the-word/id1449859151?mt=2 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2aSveQvIs7SPHWB4UcmSUQ
