‘Tis the season. Every year we that around this time because, well, it IS the season. Most of the time we know what that “season” is.

Thanksgiving! It is one of the happiest days of the year. It is a special time for families and friends to get together and enjoy each other’s company and share in the abundance of food available to us. Also during this time many will pause to consider our blessings and to thank God for all that He has given us. As we consider our blessings and think about the many things that have come our way, surely we should be “humbly grateful.” Much has been given to us therefore we have a tremendous obligation to respond in kind. How can we do that? Let’s talk about it. Thanks for listening, God bless you! To find out more about our church please go to www.whccnb.org.

In our journey today we’re going to begin with Paul's command to the Corinthians to not be “unequally yoked” with unbelievers and discuss exactly what that means. We’ll see light and darkness can’t be in fellowship. Christ and Satan can’t work together. And we’ll also talk about how Christians are temples of the living God and exactly what that means and how it applies to our lives today. It’s going to be an exciting study so let’s get to it. Thanks for listening, God bless you! To find out more about our church please go to www.whccnb.org.

Have you ever heard the phrase “Freedom is never free?” It sounds like a paradox when you say it, but it is true—“Freedom is never free.” In the same way, forgiveness is never free. That, too, sounds untrue at first. But before forgiveness takes place there is always a price to be paid. So how do freedom and forgiveness relate to each other? Actually they relate in at least 3-ways. What are they? Stay tuned and let’s find out. Thanks for listening, God bless you! To find out more about our church please go to www.whccnb.org.

In today’s passage we're going to talk about Paul’s Hardships. We’ll read about his commendation of himself and his co-workers to the Corinthians but it wasn’t bragging. He also offers evidence that they have not been false apostles. Rather they have faithfully represented Christ through every kind of suffering and God's power has been obvious in and through them. He finishes by stating warmly that his heart remained wide open to the church in Corinth and he asked them to open their hearts to him again. It’s going to be an exciting study so let’s get to it.

Many people are familiar with 1 Cor 13. It’s a favorite that used many times in weddings. But Paul didn’t write this so that people would have something to read at weddings. Paul wrote this chapter to give the Corinthian church the solution to their problem of division. Today we’ll discover 3 reasons why, “the way of love” IS the most excellent way and how it can destroy division and uplift unity in our homes and in our church. Are you ready? Let’s go!
