1 CORINTHAINS — Part 2

I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some.

1 Corinthians 9:22b

Divisions and conflict in the Church have been around since the beginning; often in very pronounced and terrible ways.

The Corinthian believers weren’t immune from this sin and neither are we.

It is a situation that harms, not just believers, but unbelievers who see it, too.

What a terrible witness!

Let us put off these divisions and strive for the unity that is ours through Jesus Christ!

1 CORINTHAINS — Part 1

I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some.

1 Corinthians 9:22b

The city of Corinth was a tough place, let alone a tough place to start a congregation! Every vice and sin was in abundance.

But Paul had a love for these people and their situation – even as he chastised, taught, and reminded them about “Christ Crucified,” living for others, the Resurrection, and more!

This is an excellent book and we can learn a lot from being in it!

I AM — Holy Trinity Sunday

Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.

John 8:58

Some make the mistake of emphasizing the humanity of Jesus over His divinity. Others do the opposite.

But the Truth is that Jesus is 100% God and 100% Man.

That means He is both willing and able to accomplish everything needed to seek and save us, who were lost.

Praise the Lord for that!

Babbling Brethren — Pentecost

It shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Acts 2:21

From of old, man has sought to bring himself up to the level of God.

But that doesn’t work.

God had to become man in Jesus.

And even after Jesus, He also sent His Holy Spirit to be within us.

God came to us and now resides in us!

What an amazing, awesome blessing and gift!

“The King Reigns” by Daniel Heitshusen

Why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw Him go into heaven.

Acts 1:11

Jesus rose from the dead, and then ascended into heaven. Since Jesus is in heaven, what does that mean for us?

All authority is His. He reigns in heaven over all things for you! We don’t need to trust in ourselves, our money, our political leaders, or anything/one else. We can rest assured that our Lord Jesus Christ reigns on our behalf!

Finally, He will return in the same way that He went up. When He appears, we will appear with Him. This gives us hope for the new life to come, and we live in that hope.

How wonderful! How comforting!

Redeemed and Reinstated

(This Jesus said to show by what kind of death Peter was to glorify God.) And after saying this he said to him, “Follow me.”

John 21:19

It is heart-wrenching to think about Peter’s denial. What he must have felt following the roster’s crowing; especially when he had been warned.

Now is the awkward moment. Jesus is alive and it’s time to address that incident.

How would Jesus do it? What would He say? What would Peter’s future with Him be like?

It’s not all rosy, but it ends with Jesus’ grace and mercy!
