Lesson by Tim Alsup, completing the “Learning Humility” series.
This morning we look at one more of the easier ways to learn humility: taking seriously what God says about where our life paths lead. What does the Bible say about the path of pride? And about the final day of judgment, where all life paths lead?
Christians are taught the importance of loving our neighbors. But before we can do that effectively, there’s something we make to make sure we have internalized about ourselves…
This morning we complete our series on 2 Corinthians with an overview of the last few chapters. In these chapters, it is obvious that Paul has been criticized by some people in Corinth, and that he is hurt by it. We have all been there before, and we will probably be there again, so let’s see what we can learn from Paul’s attitude toward criticism…
We are studying through 2 Corinthians, and this morning we come to Paul’s teaching about giving in chapters 8-9. What do these chapters teach us about how giving fits into a bigger picture, and what difference that should make in our hearts?
Today we end our 40 Days of Prayer with our annual “Praying for Memphis Sunday!” We will have some thoughts on our role as God’s ambassadors from 2 Corinthians 5, and then we will offer some special prayers to God for our community and for our outreach…
We are studying the book of 2 Corinthians on Sunday mornings, and this morning we come to 2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1. In this passage, we find the difficult challenge of being different from the world while still living in it. Let’s see what Paul says, and let’s ask ourselves some questions about really being “set apart” for God…
We are studying through the book of 2 Corinthians on Sunday mornings, a series we are calling “Transformation Through Trials.” This morning, we walk through a passage that some people say expresses the very essence of the Christian perspective on life…how do Christians see things differently?
We are studying through 2 Corinthians on Sunday mornings, and in chapter 3 we find that some of Paul’s critics were teaching a return to the old covenant of Moses. What does Paul say about the new covenant of Christ, and about the glory of Christ in our lives today?
We are studying 2 Corinthians on our Sunday mornings this fall, a series we are calling “Transformation Through Trials.” This morning, we come across a sin issue in the Corinthian church that the church had handled the right way, and now Paul says they have 1 more step to make everything right. What happened in Corinth, and what does it teach us about the delicate – but important – matter of handling sin in the church?
This morning we begin a Sunday morning study of 2 Corinthians, one of Paul’s most personal letters, and one that teaches us so much about the Christian perspective on trials, ministry, and eternity. Paul begins immediately in chapter 1 talking about God’s comfort – what does he want us to see?
