Let us look at the first book of Corinthians chapter 1 from verse 18-31. In this first part we will look at verses 18-21. From verse 10-17 of this chapter, Paul addresses the issue of divisions Within the church. It appears that Christians at Corinth were dividing themselves up into those following Paul, Apolos and Peter. It appears it had something to do with who baptized them, hence Paul says ...
John 9:34-41 (ESVST) They answered him, “ You were born in utter sin, and would you teach us?” And they cast him out. After the used to be blind men gave reasons why the Pharisees and the leaders of the church should have known that Jesus was fom God because of what he is doing. They continued to insult him by saying that he was born in utter sin, indicating ...
John 9:24-33 (ESVST) So for the second time they called the man who had been blind and said to him, “ Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.” After the Pharisees and the church leaders got confirmation from the parents of the blind man that he was born blind and now he sees. The Jews still did not believe fully and had doubts. The parents ...
John 9:13-23 (ESVST) They brought to the Pharisees the man who had formerly been blind. In our last message, Jesus had just healed a man who was born blind and this caused a lot of unbelief amongst the people. There was so much unbelief that this man was no longer blind to the extent that even when he told them that it is him, they still denied it. After questioning ...
John 9:1-12(ESVST) 1 As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. Jesus is still in Judea after he escaped from the Jews who wanted to stone him for saying that they are not the sons of Abraham but of the devil. Jesus also told them that he was there even before Abraham was and that he was the “I am” the name used to refer to God ...
In the previous messages we attempted to answer the question of: now that I am saved, now what?. We chose 2 Peter 2:1-15 as the message we will use to try and answer this question. In part 1 and 2, we dealt with verses 1-9 and these verses told us that once we are saved, we need to increase our knowledge of Jesus Christ through the word of God. Not ...
This is part 2 of our message on what to do now that I am saved. In part one we managed to do verse 1 up to 4 and we heard that God called us to himself and by his divine power, gave us all that we need to live a godly life through our knowledge of Jesus Christ, and gave us promises so that we can be like him ...
This is a question that most newly born again Christians most often ask. I know I also asked the same question when I was saved. Now that I am saved, what is the next step, what is that I must do on a day to day basis. What can I do to grow in the faith, to mature in the faith and stay strong in the faith. Jesus requires us ...
The purpose of Jesus death and resurrection was to create a way for us human beings who have continuously and consistently sinned against God, to be reconciled to our creator, our Father. As Paul says in Romans that sin came by one man and so will by one man all be saved. Jesus through his death, paid the complete ransom for us and removed us from death row and gave ...
John 8:48-59 (ESVST) 48 The Jews answered him, “ Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?” Jesus is still engaging with what I believe was a very heated debate with the Jews at the temple in Judea. Jesus in the verses above this one had just told the Jews that they are sons of the devil and murderous just like him since ...
