Pt 30: The Profitable Choice
The Profitable Choice 30/08/2026 My Last Sermon Introduction “And this I speak to your own profit” We need to be sure to understand that Paul is writing to the CONTEMPORARY CHURCH in this letter. A Church that is contemporary to both the times and the culture they are most familiar with. A Church that has been enveloped with the morals of the day to the point that they celebrated a type of fornication as is not so much as named among the gentiles (1 Cor…
Time Is Short
Nothing is of greater value than that which has infinity as its scope.
There simply is nothing of this world that comes close to comparing with eternity, and all the time we spend in this life has its conclusion that which is rewarded FOR eternity, and time is short.
We have no knowledge of when our time in the temporal is over; this year, next year, this day or tomorrow or the very next minute, TIME IS SHORT.
For this who belong to Christ, there is another imminent that we look for, and that is his return for his church, the bride of Christ. Life continues until, “in the twinkling of an eye” we are changed and caught up to be with the Lord.
Time is indeed short even for the judgement that is to come upon this world, like a “thief in the night”, when they shall say “peace and safety, then sudden destruction”.
Time is short.
Pt 26: Serve Without Hindrance
Pt 26 Serving Without Hinderance 26/7/2026 Beloved it is so vital to notice that every part of Paul’s communication with the Corinthian Church is one that has the eternal as its focus. In fact, there is almost nowhere to go in the scriptures where God is not more concerned for the eternal than he is for the temporal matters of life. It is certain that the Bible presents the temporal matters of life as ONLY of value inasmuch as they affect…
Pt 25 Bought With A Price
Pt 25 BOUGHT WITH A PRICE Purchased 1 Corinthians 6:20 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s. It had been a year now, she had been working and saving for a year. She was promised that if she saved enough, she could go and choose the one she wanted, bring it home and care for it. It would not be just the price of the purchase that…
Pt 24 BELONG
Pt 24 Belong 1 Corinthians 6:12–20 12 All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. 13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. 14 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us…
Pt 23 And Such Were Some Of You
And such were some of you! Paul describes but some of the sins by which we were once all identified, “but ye are washed”. What wonder to know that such has been washed away through the blood of Christ. “But ye are sanctified”, how it is that now we stand before God clothed in the righteousness of Christ. “But ye are justified”, even the thought that our sins are paid for in full fill us with wonder. “And such were…
Pt 22: Faulty Witness
A faulty witness misrepresents the person to whom they are aligned when their representation does not align. Christians seeking justice from the unjust fail to understand the witness in which they witness.
Pt 21: Shun False Brethren
“…not to company…”, today few can identify what sin is let alone be willing to shun the man who claims to be a brother doing evil.
The Church is charged to “put away from among yourselves that wicked person”. Paul here testifying that the individual who ‘calls himself a brother’ (1 Cor 5:11), is false, indeed a “wicked person” (v13).
Our Church has seen much of this in the last two years, the Pastor has witnessed much more. Most tragic of all is that which comes from what was believed to be a faithful man, a man who betrays the Character of Christ, not in open sin, but in judgement, hypocrisy and wilful ignorance.
The Laodicean Church will continue to develop until the return of the Lord, for it will not call sin and sin, and it will not deal with sinners nor have any respect for those who do.
Those who justify evil condemn that which is good.
Shun false brethren, be not caught up in their sin (see Numbers 16)
Pt20: A Little Leaven
We live in a time when any mention of sin is turned away from in modern Churches. When this happens it is inevitable that it will inevitably permeate the entire Church, all it takes is a little leaven, a little sin and it acts like yeast in bread to corrupt the whole.
Tragically, when that which is evil (sinful) becomes tolerated in a place where the desire is toward all that is good (holy), it does not take long before it is justified, when sin is justified then all which might condemn it as evil becomes considered at evil.
Suddenly, Isiah 5:20 becomes the reality in the Church. Evil is seen as good, good is seen as evil.
If this becomes the common state of the Church (and it is), what then becomes of the world?
