(This podcast was previously recorded and published on December 25, 2020)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   The word, "Rapture", is used in many churches to describe the church being removed from this present earth and taken into heaven.   The first time I ever heard this word, "Rapture" used at church, I was very shocked.   I checked New Testament Bible and found this word, "Rapture", is not in the Bible.  It is a word that was made up by man.   I never use this word to describe the church being taken into heaven.   The following scriptures wonderfully tell us what will happen:   I Thessalonians 4:13-17 ... The dead in Christ rise first.   13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep (dead), that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.   14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with HIM.   15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent (precede) them which are asleep (dead).   16 For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:   17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.   ("In the air" is very important for it shows us Jesus' kingdom will not be on the present earth.  After we are removed from this earth, God will destroy this heaven and earth by fire.  We will be in our new spiritual bodies and will be taken to the New Heaven and the New Earth wherein dwelleth righteousness.)   I Corinthians 15:48-52  ... We are changed into new spiritual bodies.   48  As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.   49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.   (On this earth we have the physical form resembling our parents.  In heaven we will have the form of God and Jesus which is a spiritual form.)   50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.   51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep (die), but we shall all be changed,   52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.   ***** An artist depicted the rising of the church but this artist showed individuals rising out of their autos in their present physical bodies.  This will not happen.  First those on the earth at the time Jesus returns will be changed into the spiritual bodies.  This physical body does not rise for it is corruptible, subject to physical disease and pain and emotions which are hurtful.  In heaven, there will be no pain, nor sorrow, nor death ... thus in heaven there will be no physical type body as we know the body today.   ***   Revelation 21:1-5  ...  We are taken to the new heaven and the new earth.   1  And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.   2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.   3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and HE will dwell with them, and they shall be HIS people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God.   4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.   5 And HE that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.   ***   II Peter 3:10-14  ... This earth is destroyed by God.   10  But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.   11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,   12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?   13 Nevertheless we, according to HIS promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.   14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of HIM in peace, without spot, and blameless.

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on December 21, 2020)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    It is important to read New Testament Bible and to keep scriptures of what God says before us so we will not drift away from God's laws with the thinking of humans and be turned over by God to a reprobate mind.   Romans 1:28  And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;   II Corinthians 13:5  Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?   The only thing important is:  What does God say?   By the New Testament Bible, we set our thinking to match God's view.   ***   Consider this:   I Corinthians 7:39   The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.   In churches, people are often told, "We don't go by the law in the New Testament church."    We don't go by the law of Moses concerning sacrifice of animals for sins, but we still go by the New Testament laws of God as the New Testament church.   Romans 7:1-3  Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?  For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.  So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.   I Corinthians 7:10-11  And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:  But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.   Matthew 5:32  But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.   (If a husband divorces a faithful wife and she remarries, she will commit adultery but her husband who divorced her will be the cause of her adultery.  And the man who marries this divorced woman commits adultery.)   Mark 10   2 And the Pharisees came to HIM (to Jesus), and asked HIM, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting HIM.   3 And HE answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?   4 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.   5 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.   6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.   7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;   8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.   9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.   10 And in the house HIS disciples asked HIM again of the same matter.   11 And HE saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.   12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.   At the marriage ceremony, most couples vow that marriage is "till death do them part."  That is certainly what God teaches.   ***   In the Bible, the apostle Paul shows us how the two become one flesh.   I Corinthians 6:15-16  Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.  What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith HE, shall be one flesh.   (Even if a man has sex with a prostitute, the two become one flesh.)   How do you separate one flesh?   You can't explain it away by divorce papers from a civil court.   Therefore God says:  Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.  (I Corinthians 6:18)   Sexual sins are different from all other sins.   ***   Concerning homosexuals and lesbians:   Romans 1:25-27   Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.   26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:   27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

God talks to sinners about salvation. He talks to believers about the sin. What God wants to do is instruct us in the area of immorality in the church. Immorality translates as loose living. In I Corinthians 6:18 Apostle Paul said to "flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body." Abstaining from sexual immorality has always been a commandment of God.Support the showhttp://www.gwafgbc.org http://www.gwafgbc.org/storehttp://www.gwafgbc.org/givehttps://vimeo.com/manage/videos

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on December 9, 2020)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   In both the Old and New Testament we have strong warning about the misuse of the Word of God.   God gave very specific instruction concerning the building of the ark of the covenant.  It was to be made from specific wood and covered inside and outside with pure gold.  For the ark was to contain the most precious thing of all things on this entire earth.  What did they carry in the ark?  rubies, gold, diamonds?   No that which they carried was far more precious than the most precious things of this world.   God said:  "And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee."   And only select men could carry the ark.  When a man who was not appointed to touch the ark, reached up and steadied the ark when the oxen stumbled, God struck this man dead.   II Samuel 6:1-7  Again, David gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.  And David arose, and went with all the people that were with him from Baale of Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, whose name is called by the name of the LORD of hosts that dwelleth between the cherubims.   And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drave the new cart.  And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab which was at Gibeah, accompanying the ark of God: and Ahio went before the ark. And David and all the house of Israel played before the LORD on all manner of instruments made of fir wood, even on harps, and on psalteries, and on timbrels, and on cornets, and on cymbals.   And when they came to Nachon's threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it.   And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.   Uzzah was not one of the men who was appointed by God to touch the ark, the Bible.   Paul explains to us that because men use the Bible unworthily, many are weak and sickly and many die.   *****   In the New Testament, Paul says, I Corinthians 11:27-31 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.   30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep (die).   31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.   (In this scripture, Paul is speaking of the way we use the Bible.)   Using the Bible is a very serious matter.  The examples of the Old Testament show how precious the Word of God is and how it must be handled carefully.  This is confirmed in the New Testament.   Jesus, The Word of God, is above rubies and all other things to see or desire.   Because of the misuse of the Word of God, many today are weak and sickly and many die.  

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on December 13, 2020)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   People think they witness to God when they tell the name of the church they attend.  But when a person does this, he shows he is carnal and he brings division to the body of Christ according to the apostle Paul.   I Corinthians 3:1-4  And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.  I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.  For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?  For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?   If we speak of God, we should speak of that which God has done with us or of that which God has said to us.   (They don't do that!  They speak of their church and love to tell where they go to church.  They think they witness to God when really they are promoting their church group.)   If we feel we have to identify ourselves, we should just say, "I am a Christian."   Ephesians 4:3-6   3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.   4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;   5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,   6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.  

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on December 19, 2020)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   If we confess in our hearts that Jesus is Lord, then Jesus, The Word, rules over us and we obey the scriptures and see the Word as Lord.   Romans 10:9-11  That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on HIM (The Word) shall not be ashamed.   Jesus said many would come saying He is the Christ and they would deceive many.   These are those who confess with their mouth but do not believe the Word in their hearts.  They believe something other than the scripture of the New Testament Bible and therefore they do something other than the instruction given by scripture.   Matthew 24:4-5  And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.   They say Jesus is Lord and they say they are Christians, but they do not believe all the scriptures, such as:   * The man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.  Matthew 5:32   * If a woman leaves her husband let her remain "unmarried" or be reconciled with her husband.  I Corinthians 7:10-11   * Homosexuals and lesbians have been turned over by God to do "vile affections."  Romans 1:26-27   Some will believe some scripture but not all of these scriptures because of their personal preferences.   One person might believe homosexuals are wrong but might believe it is permissible for a man to marry a divorced woman.   We who are of God are rebuilt by God to believe all the scriptures not just some scripture.   Thereby we have the Spirit of Truth in us and are led by the Spirit of Truth.   Flesh cannot understand things of God with the natural mind.  Only when the Spirit of Truth, the Holy Spirit, lives in us can we understand things of God.   I Corinthians 2:14   But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.   John said there were already many antichrist in the church in his day.  (I John 2:18)   Paul said to the elders at Ephesus that he knew there were men among them who were just waiting for him to depart so they could bring "perverse" things into the church.  (Acts 20:30)   After Jesus was taken into heaven, antichrist could set up various denominations and teach what he wanted to teach in the churches, things opposite to the doctrines of Christ in the Bible.   II Thessalonians 2:4  Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.The falling away from scripture was sitting there among those elders in the church at Ephesus as the apostle Paul warned, recorded for us in Acts 20.   And the falling away from the doctrines of the scriptures has been taking place in church groups for 2000 years before the eyes of those who can see.   And today the churches have grown closer and closer to this world through the changing of doctrines from the instruction of the New Testament Bible in order to draw men to themselves just as Paul said in Acts 20.   28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which HE hath purchased with His own blood.   29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.   30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.   Thus setting up their own denominations, dividing the church of Jesus Christ.   But the falling away began from the time Jesus was resurrected and the true doctrine was given to the men of God which became the New Testament for us where all scripture is inspired by God.  (II Timothy 3:16)  

Romans 1:16 – “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.”I Corinthians 15:1-4Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, 2 and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.  2 Corinthians 4:5 – “For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord.” INTRODUCTION — THE NEED FOR THE TRUE GOSPELTHE TRUE GOSPEL DEFINED (I Corinthians 15:1-4) THE TRUE GOSPEL EXALTS CHRIST (2 Corinthians 4:5) THE TRUE GOSPEL CONFRONTS SIN (Acts 3:19) THE TRUE GOSPEL PRODUCES NEW LIFE AND HOLINESS (Titus 2:11-12) THE TRUE GOSPEL REVEALS THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD (Romans 1:7)  

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on December 12, 2020)    Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   I Corinthians 3:16  Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?   From the time we are born again we carefully construct ourselves as the temple of God which houses the Word of God.  We cover ourselves continually, day by day, with pure gold of the Word of the New Testament, living that Word on this earth.   As the apostle Paul says, we present our bodies a living sacrifice, " holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service."  (Romans 12:1)   In the Old Testament, God was very specific about the building of the ark which would house the Word of God.  (Exodus 25-27)   How much more careful should we be about the construction of "the temple" (ourselves) which houses the Word of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit today?   I Corinthians 3:17  If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.   In this Podcast, we will look at the directions God gave in building the ark of the tabernacle in the Old Testament and consider how we must go forward in God as "HIS temple" housing all that is holy for the New Testament church today and for the world.  

I Corinthians 10:23 All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify.

The Apostle Paul's emphasis on unity in the true church of Jesus Christ is a theme pervasive in I Corinthians. According to I Corinthians 12:1-13, to be a Christian is to behold and believe the revelation of Christ by means of the Spirit.  To be a functional church of Jesus Christ is to discern and deploy the gifts, service, and activities of the Spirt for the mutual benefit of the believers in the community where God has planted you as He empowers and appoints. To be the church of Jesus Christ in essence is to be unified in Christ with members of His body by the power of The Spirit transcending personal experience, culture, history, and the grave!  The language of Paul's epistle has the power to grasp our clouded souls by the hand and lift us up on gospel heights to behold our situation from heaven's perspective.

Pastor Swayne looks at I Corinthians 2:1-5

(This podcast was previously recorded and published on December 7, 2020)    Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   When we believe the Word of God we are filled with joy and peace and hope.   There are thousands upon thousands of great promises of God for us in the Bible.    2 Peter 1:4   Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.   When the Holy Spirit of God reminds us of one of these promises of God in the situation of this present life, we can focus on that promise and live above the troubles of this world because we know the God who created this world is far greater than this world.  We hope in God!   The church is built upon that Word which God reveals to us in the problems of this life.  We stand upon "that word", the word that comes to us from God by HIS Spirit.  Therein is power.   *****   We have great joy and peace and hope for we believe Jesus will return and gather the church.  Jesus will raise the dead in Christ and Jesus will remove those who are still living who are of God from this present earth.   How do we know these things?   The Bible tells us this.   I Thessalonians 4   13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep (dead), that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.   14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with HIM.   15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent (precede) them which are asleep.   16 For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:   17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.   ***   We will all be changed into our new spiritual bodies:   I Corinthians 15   The apostle Paul says:   48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.   49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.   50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.   51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep (die), but we shall all be changed,   52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.   ***   Then we will be taken to the new heaven and the new earth which is prepared by God for all who are righteous.   Revelation 21  The apostle John says:   1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.   2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.   3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and HE will dwell with them, and they shall be HIS people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God. 4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.   5 And HE that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.   ***   There will be no unrighteous in that new heaven and new earth, the new Jerusalem.   Revelation 22  Jesus says:   12  And, behold, I come quickly; and MY reward is with ME, to give every man according as his work shall be.   13  I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.   14 Blessed are they that do HIS commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.   15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.   ***   In the end, God will destroy this present heaven and earth by fire.   II Peter 3   10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.   11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,   12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?   13 Nevertheless we, according to HIS promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.   14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of HIM in peace, without spot, and blameless.   ***   And this present heaven and earth will not even come to mind.   Isaiah 65  God says:   17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.   18 But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.   19 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in MY people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying.  

We're familiar with the last half of 1 Corinthians 11 - but do we understand it? Divisions at the table. Hungry and drunk at the Lord's Supper. The body. Examination. Eating and drinking judgment. The other body. Dead, but not condemned. What's Paul trying to say in this passage? Whatever it is, it's pretty important; we're talking about life-and-death issues!

The Lord's Supper is a picture. And we need a bigger frame. The Corinthians had distorted the living image that Jesus gave us in the Upper Room. We have cropped out part of that picture. And others have painted over it as they wished, and hung it upside-down. But the picture can be restored - if we'll refer back to the original, as revealed by Paul in 1 Corinthians 11. Here's Jim with Part 1 of a sermon entitled, Tempting God to Death.

Built Different Pt. 6 | October 19, 2025Pastor Wes MorrisEphesians 3:16 (NLT) I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit.√ WE KEEP TRYING TO MANAGE WHAT GOD WANTS TO HEAL. Mark 5:25-29 (NIV) A woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years. She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse. When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, because she thought, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed.” Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering.√ WE WANT GOD'S BLESSING WITHOUT HIS BOUNDARIES.James 1:25 (NIV) But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.√ WE'RE HOLDING ONTO THINGS GOD NEVER ASKED US TO CARRY.I Peter 5:7 (NIV) Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.Psalm 55:22 (NLT) Give your burdens to the Lord, and he will take care of you.BUILT DIFFERENT: STRONG ON THE INSIDEI.  GUARD WHAT GETS IN. Proverbs 4:23 (NIV) Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.Romans 12:2 (NLT) Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you by changing the way you think.II.  STAY CONSISTENT WHEN IT'S NOT CONVENIENT.Daniel 6:10 (NIV) Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before.I Corinthians 15:58 (TLB) So, my dear brothers, since future victory is sure, be strong and steady, always abounding in the Lord's work, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever wasted.III. ALLOW THE HOLY SPIRIT TO CHANGE YOU FROM THE INSIDE OUT. Philippians 2:13 (NLT) For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases Him.

This week we continue our United in Christ sermon series, looking at I Corinthians 13 and how without love, everything we do for God amounts to nothing.

Toward the aim of increasing reverence for the Lord's table and all that it entails, Paul emphasizes the necessity of discerning the body.  In I Corinthians 11:17-34, we see this applies in three senses. We must have a devotional understanding of the church, of the ordinance of communion, and of ourselves.  Having considered already the necessity of discerning the church body and the symbolic body, we now turn to Paul's instructions to examine ourselves (27-34). Today's sermon is an expanded analysis of the third application of Paul's instruction regarding the supper, taking the occasion of communion as opportunity to examine our personal relationship with the Lord.  As it relates to our souls, may a proper understanding of what the Lord's table commemorates and proclaims yield the fruit of conviction, reverence, humility, and obedience.

Real philosophers love Jesus. Once you've said that "all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden" in Christ, that's it. There's no wisdom left for pretenders like Plato, Descartes, Nietzsche. It's all in Jesus. And it's "hidden." Hidden from those who claim to love wisdom, but who aren't willing to look for it at the Source. We're in the letter of 1 Corinthians today to conclude Jim's message, The Degree That Destroys.

Tongue-tangled. The Corinthian church had become disordered. Not just their church "services," as we would call them, but the church itself was in danger of losing its unity. And all because they had become enamored of certain gifts. Paul sets them straight about the proper hierarchy of spiritual gifts, but then he writes, "Now I'll show you a more excellent way." We've been looking at that "way" that outshines all the gifts, and even rises above faith, and hope!

On Saturday, August 9, 2025, Father Scott Cunningham, Pastor of Christ Church Madison, taught on the biblical theology of sex and intimacy found in I Corinthians 6:12-20. This talk, entitled The Christian Sexual Revolution, contained three building blocks: (1) The Dignity of Sexuality, (2) The Mystery of Sexuality, (3) The Redemption of Sexuality. This handout was used to follow along with the talk.Based on Father Cunningham's 2022 Christ Church Madison sermon series, The Dignity & Mystery of Sexuality (available here), this message also corresponds to a talk that Pastor Devin gave in February 2025 on the spiritual gifts of singleness and marriage outlined in I Corinthians 7 entitled Singleness Is For Everyone (recordings available here - part 1, part 2, part 3).If you have any questions about this talk, feedback, or ideas for future topics, please reach out to the HPC Adult Christian Education Team, ace@highpointchurch.org! Engage & Equip is a resource designed to help form substantive disciples for the local church.Find more episodes at highpointchurch.org/podcastMusic: HOME—We're Finally Landing, Nosebleed, If I'm Wrong (https://midwestcollective.bandcamp.com/album/before-the-night)

Love constrains. Since the Sixties at least, "love" has been used to excuse all kinds of harmful behavior. "Free love" was a popular cliché then. "Love is love" something you might hear today. But real love lives in harmony with the Law of God. And it restricts our choices to those that actually help other people. In 1 Corinthians, Paul was teaching that church about the nature and supremacy of love.

"Pursue love!" But how? "And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love." When Paul wrote that, he didn't know that someone would come along later and put a chapter break there! What we call the "love chapter" is really part of a larger discussion about gifts, self control, order in the church... and love. It all started because the Corinthians had valued their gifts above the purpose of the gifts.

Love is either alive, dying, or dead. Pastor Garvon shares 5 times when we can see where love is in these three stages. The message is based in I Corinthians 13, given on September 21, 2025.

Dave and Autumn respond to a listener's question about the documentary 1946: The Mistranslation that Shifted a Culture. Our listener asks, “I'd love to hear your thoughts and Biblical perspectives on what this documentary is claiming. As Christians raising small children, we cannot arm ourselves enough with the truth. Hunter always says it's important to know the best arguments against your beliefs.” The documentary contends that the translation team responsible for the 1946 Revised Standard Version wrongfully translated I Corinthians 6:9 and that this mistranslation catalyzed an anti-gay movement in churches and among conservative Americans.Resources mentioned in this episode:1946: The Mistranslation that Shifted a Culture

I Corinthians 12:4-13 Following the summer time of gifts discernment, each September Raleigh Mennonite recognizes the many volunteers who help make the church function. This Sunday Susan provided a brief overview of church history and how Mennonites incorporated the concept of the "priesthood of all believers" as a fundamental tenet of our faith and community life together. The idea is that not only can we communicate with and have direct access to God, but that there are indeed no roles that are the exclusive domain of the clergy. And as we read in I Corinthians 12, all roles are important, and we all have to use our God-given gifts together for the church to thrive. When we use our gifts, or graces, it energizes us. At the same time, we need to check our perceptions of our gifts with others and listen for the affirmation of others in helping us see the gifts that we might have and be called to use. That's where discernment comes in.

He offers guidance based on God's law while also considering their current circumstances. He emphasizes that marriage is good and serves as a way to avoid sexual immorality. They must recognize that the marriage commitment is crucial, as he advises them to reject divorce and, if they do divorce, to either remain unmarried or seek reconciliation. Even if married to an unbeliever, commitment and faithfulness can lead to the spouse's salvation. Furthermore, there is value in singleness, as it promotes an undivided focus on God. He advises believers to remain in their current situations, as persecution is approaching for God's people. In every situation, “undistracted devotion to the Lord” is the goal and necessary for both married and single Christians.  Christians face various seasons of life, including singleness, marriage, or widowhood. Paul reminds us in I Corinthians 7 that each of these situations is an opportunity to serve God faithfully. Whether married or single, we should focus on honoring God with undivided devotion. In marriage, this means a loving commitment to our spouse, reflecting Christ's faithfulness. For singles, it means embracing the freedom to serve God without distraction. Paul also encourages us to trust God's plan and remain content in the situations He has called us to, knowing He works for our good. This mindset should be evident to the world as we live in purity, faithfulness, and commitment to God's purposes, reflecting His glory in all relationships and circumstances. Giving God, who provides all that we need for life and godliness, thank You for the benefits of marriage. For the married, we commit to faithfulness and patience, living out Your purposes and uplifting souls in our home and everywhere our family has influence. For the unmarried, we pray for their strength to have hope in You, and to use this stage in life to accomplish incredible things in Your kingdom. In whatever circumstance, prepare us to be devoted to You regardless of persecution or trial. Give us contentment where we are and wisdom in whatever may come next.   Thought Questions: -       Describe the commitment God designed for marriage. What level of trust should exist? How strongly should we work to avoid divorce? -       Is it possible for an unbelieving spouse to be “sanctified through” their spouse? How should this encourage believers married to unbelievers? -       Singleness is not discussed enough among God's people. In this chapter, what are the advantages for someone who is not currently married?
