Stand Strong In The Word

This episode touches on a crucial aspect of our lives as believers, addressing the importance of honoring our bodies which are temples of the Holy Spirit.

In 1 Corinthians 6:1-11, we find one of the most controversial and highly debated passages in our culture today. Find out why.

For those outside of the church, Paul makes it clear that it is not the duty of Christians to judge them. But for those within the church, Christians are expected to make judgements regarding immoral conduct, even to the point of isolating the individuals involved. This may seem harsh but it is necessary to protect and preserve the church from those who seek to defile it.

Paul compares how the Israelites removes leaven from their homes in preparation for the Feast of Unleavened Bread and Passover to the need for Christians to remove sin in their lives and the church.

In this episode, Jason teaches on 1 Corinthians 5:1-5, where Paul confronts a perverted sin being committed by a member in the church.

A powerful way to eliminate division in the church is by deeply caring for the heartfelt needs of others.

The Corinthians were living lavished lives with a passable faith while Paul and his companions suffered greatly for the faith. Godet captures the weight of what Paul was expressing to the Corinthians: “It was not time for the Corinthians to be self-complacent and boasting, while the church was on the throne and the apostles were under the sword.”

As stewards of Christ, we are not the ones who own anything or give the orders. Everything belongs to God. He is the One who saves us, calls us, and appoints us to go forth and do the special work that He designed us to do.

Everything you do in your life will be judged by God, good or bad. So, the question is, what will judgment look like for you?

Although we are not saved by good works that doesn't mean that we are not to care about doing them. In this episode, we look into the meaning of the term "wages" used by Paul and learn the importance of living a life that God rewards!

It can be hard to distinguish between an unbeliever and a carnal Christian. In this episode, Jason breaks down how Paul described the spiritual status of the Corinthians and ways to help them grow in their faith.

Christians can often become confused about whether something is of God or not. To help you never second guess what is of God, Jason teaches how God's children receive His wisdom and have the mind of Christ.

We all too often focus on the wrong thing. Instead of praising the work of the Holy Spirit, we tend to give the credit to a person or institution. In this episode, Jason teaches from 1 Corinthians 2:1-5, stressing the need for us to walk and live in the demonstration and power of the Holy Spirit.

It's human nature to want all the credit. To make it all about us when it's not. But when it comes to the way we ought to live as followers of Jesus Christ, it's ALL about Him, not us! In this episode, Jason teaches from 1 Corinthians 1:18-31, showing just how God uses unlikely people and things to shame the proud and give grace to the humble.

Sometimes Christians succumb to party affiliations and give into judging others who don't necessarily agree with them. So how are we to put an end to divisions that are wrecking the church?

The promise you have, as a child of God is this: God will never abandon you but give you the strength needed until He returns. In this episode, Jason starts a new teaching series in 1 Corinthians 1:1-10, a passage rich with promises every believer in Jesus Christ can take comfort knowing are true and lasting.

Church discipline is often necessary. But church discipline is never to be carried out harshly but conducted in a gracious, yet firm manner. In this episode, Jason teaches from 2 Thessalonians 3:13-17, and brings clarity to how churches ought to handle troublemakers.

In Paul’s first letter, his tone was more joyful and warm. Here, Paul is having to be more forceful in his warning based on the defiance that was spreading among the people.
