1 Peter 5:5-6 “In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.” Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.”I hate to say it, but we’re going to dive right into the uncomfortable. Pride. When we break ...  Read More

1 Corinthians 13:8-13 Love will remain! Many things God created or things that we have on this earth were made to be temporary. They were made to be there for their time. All things of this world will wash away. The things that we cling on to in this world are like a vapor in the wind, they pass away and become a part of history. But love remains! The love of God is forever. Faith, hope and love r...  Read More

While that emotion is real, we see in today's passage that as believers we are called to be each other's support system.

1 Corinthians 12:12-14 The beauty of the church is that it’s NOT about any one individual’s abilities, talents, or personality. It’s about the glory of God displayed through the cooperation of his people. No one stands out, only God. Too many American churches are the opposite. They are known for having a dynamic speaker, or an inspirational worship leader, or a fun youth or kid’s pastor. The chur...  Read More
