Word of Hope Christian Church Podcast

Today we take on another tough issue in 1 Corinthians and that is the subject of marriage. Our upbringing, the media and society are a few of the things that influence our view of marriage and the commitment it requires. There are many who would like to change the definition of marriage and downplay its importance. The Apostle Paul would have us turn our hearts back to God, the Creator of marriage, and rediscover this sacred institution’s true definition and purpose. Come and let’s journey together to find out more. Thanks for listening, God bless you! To find out more about our church please go to www.whccnb.org.

Welcome everyone to a new 6-week sermon series titled “Not a Fan.” This series is based on the one-of-a-kind book and movie by Pastor Kyle Idleman entitled “Not a Fan.” In this series Pastor Idleman points out that in any church there are people who are “followers of Christ” and others who are simply “fans.” Today, in Part 1, we journey to answer the question: Are You a Fan or a Follower of Christ? Let’s find out together. Thanks for listening! To find out more about our church please go to www.whccnb.org.

Today we’re going to tackle an issue that is rampant in society—sexual immorality. We have “adult bookstores” in most towns and pornography is the most profitable business on the Internet. This same kind of addiction was evident in Corinth as well. In today’s study the apostle Paul is going to address this issue directly and he’s also going to teach us about self-control—not allowing ourselves to be controlled either by non-helpful habits or serious sin. It’s on folks...let’s go! Thanks for listening, God bless you! To find out more about our church please go to www.whccnb.org.

Today is the last sermon in this series. We’ve been looking through the lens of Solomon’s writing in Ecclesiastes and we’ve seen some amazing things. In this last sermon titled “Don’t Be A Fool In Worship”, we’re going to look for answers and insights into how not to be a fool in worship. Because if you’re going to worship God, you better make sure you do it in the right way—because there is a right way and a wrong way to worship God. Join us and let’s find out more.

What do you think of when you hear the phrase “Power Plays”? Some will relate it to athletic events and yet some will relate it more to interpersonal or organizational matters. Can there be power plays within the church? Yes there can. In fact in today’s study Paul rebukes the church in Corinth for getting caught up in making Christianity about them and not about the Kingdom. How can we avoid doing that? Stay tuned and let’s find out together. Thanks for listening, God bless you! To find out more about our church please go to www.whccnb.org.

In Ecc 4, Solomon deals with an issue that frustrates many people in our world. It’s the issue of “unfairness”—that things just aren’t always right and fair in this life. Inside each one of us is an inner voice that tells us that all things should be fair. But then we see oppression, tragedy and sorrow and we say, “Well that’s just not right,” or “This shouldn’t be happening!” What then are we to do? We’re going to answer that question a whole lot more so stay with us and let’s find out. Thanks for listening! To find out more about our church please go to www.whccnb.org.

Very often we don’t even think about the stability of our homes or other buildings until an earthquake or storm hits. Then we start hoping the architect and builder laid a strong foundation with safety in mind. Today we’re going to talk about the need to build the church on the one secure foundation of Jesus Christ because if we don’t...all that building will be in vain! Thanks for listening, God bless you!

Working for the glory of God and not yourself is counter cultural. Taking pride in your work because it’s for the Lord and not yourself is also counter cultural. When we work, we are called to act in a way that honors God and that is counter cultural as well. So that begs the question: Are you working in a way that honors God? And if not do you know how you can? We’re going to answer those questions and much more let’s get to it. Thanks for listening! To find out more about our church please go to www.whccnb.org.

Today Christians are sometimes mocked as not being too bright. It is said that we “follow our faith blindly.” Yet, as we are about to find out, we follow a God who has all wisdom and shares it with us so that we may boast in Him and not ourselves. In our journey today we’ll consider the nature of Christian wisdom and how it compares to the “wisdom” of the world. And we’ll be reminded that we are able to accomplish anything if we rely on the power and wisdom of God. Thanks for listening, God bless you!

Today we’re going to find that Solomon tells us that he sought to take hold of pleasure in his life but when he did everything fell apart. So that begs the questions “what’s the point of pleasure” and “is it wrong to pursue it”? We’re going to look at Ecc 2:1-11 for answers to those questions and more so let the journey begin...
