The Cross of Christ Is Enough • 1st Corinthians 1:17-24 – Elder Bryce Lowrance The Church of God at Corinth was established on a very strong foundation of Biblical teaching by the Apostle Paul. They understood that the finished work of Jesus Christ was sufficient for their eternal salvation and that the simple message of that in the gospel was enough to give them hope of eternal life. However, after the Apostle leaves, the old tendencies and traditions of men crept their way back into their thinking. They had developed cliques and false doctrines that adherence to the law or men’s philosophies were also needed in addition to the cross of Christ. Paul sets the record straight – The Cross is enough!

Jesus Heals a Woman on the Sabbath Day • Luke 13:10-13 – Elder Michael Hattaway When Jesus comes into the life of one of His elect, He has compassion and helps them in ways that man cannot do.

Baptism • 1st Corinthians 1:13-17 – Elder Bryce Lowrance The Apostle Paul makes an interesting statement when addressing the division in the church at Corinth. He says that Christ did not send him to baptize. What did he mean by this? Does this mean that baptism is not important? To answer these questions and others, Elder Bryce explains several passages regarding baptism found in the New Testament.

Daniel Learns About His Vision – Brother Jonah Lowrance – Daniel 7:17-28 Brother Jonah continues in his expository message series on the book of Daniel with the latter half of Daniel, Chapter 7. In this chapter, we see the prophecy of the coming kingdoms of the world, and the establishment of the everlasting Kingdom of Christ. We also learn that the spirit of antichrist is always at work but will never ultimately prevail over the Kingdom of Christ.
Divisions • 1st Corinthians 1:10-16 – Elder Bryce Lowrance The Church at Corinth was a miracle of the Lord Jesus Christ but, like most churches, it had problems. Paul shows this church that the source of all their problems was that they were divided. These cliques were teaching different things and practicing different things. This made it easy for error in doctrine, practice, and discipline to get a foothold in the church. Contrary to liberal Biblical thinkers, doctrine does not divide. Incorrect doctrine, like that being taught at Corinth, divides. But the true doctrine of the finished work of Jesus Christ is the only thing that can unite the children of God in a church.

Introduction & Prayer – Brother Jonah Lowrance – Philippians 4:4-8 Brother Jonah explains how we can be rejoicing always.
Enriched by God • 1st Corinthians 1:4-9 – Elder Bryce Lowrance Continuing in the expository series on 1st Corinthians, Elder Bryce contrasts the uncertain and deceitful riches of this world with the glorious riches of God in Christ Jesus. The true riches are the blessings of God which included all the facets of grace, the gospel, and the church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

To the Church of God at Corinth • 1st Corinthians 1:2 – Elder Bryce Lowrance Paul’s epistle is to a church that is in a location that no one would have ever imagined – Corinth! In this message, Elder Bryce sets the framework for the entire epistle showing that this church, and all other true churches belong to God because He chose the people before the world began in the covenant of election; He sent His Son to dies for them; He called them in regeneration by His Spirit, and the gospel calls on them to walk like Jesus Christ. The saints of God are set-apart for a holy purpose, and they should gather together in a church body to fulfill that calling here in time.

God’s View of World History • Daniel 7 – Brother Jonah Lowrance – The visions that Daniel sees concern the same subject of the dreams in Chapter 2. In chapter 2, we had man’s view of the rise an fall of the empires of man from Babylon to Rome. In Chapter 7, we see the same historical events from God’s perspective. In this message, Brother Jonah explains the first 3 beasts seen in Daniel’s vision, and he reminds us that Christ’s kingdom is established and He will conquer all His enemies.
Sosthenes Our Brother • 1st Corinthians 1:1 – Elder Bryce Lowrance In this introductory message to the 1st Corinthian letter, Elder Lowrance takes us back to the founding of the church at Corinth as recorded in Acts, Chapter 18. One of the main reasons that the Apostle Paul wrote this letter to the Church at Corinth is because they were divided on many issues including, race, doctrine, practice, and church discipline. Sosthenes was the chief ruler of the synagogue when they unbelieving Jews tried to have Paul kicked out of Corinth. Obviously, sometime later Sosthenes was changed by the Lord and became a believer and supporter of the Apostle Paul. He mentions Sosthenes in the opening sentence of this letter to show that men can forgive, be reconciled to one another, and live in harmony.

Redemption • Matthew 20:28 (and several supporting scriptures) – Elder Bryce Lowrance In this message, Elder Lowrance answers the question, “What did Christ’s death on the cross actually accomplish?” He makes the case for a successful Savior in the particular redemption of God’s elect by examining three postulates: 1. Jesus died for every sin of every person. 2. Jesus died for some of the sins of every person. 3. Jesus died for all of the sins of some people (the elect).

Daniel in the Den of Lions • Daniel 6 – Brother Jonah Lowrance – Brother Jonah takes us through the sixth Chapter of Daniel where Darius is tricked into having his best helper thrown into a den of lions. But God, through His providence overrules the acts of these wicked men and they, and their families, end up in the pit instead!
God’s Word vs. Man’s Word • Psalm 12 – Elder Bryce Lowrance Elder Lowrance takes us through a Psalm that could have been penned today. The current “woke” culture that pervades our society has set the stage where no true discussion happens. Everyone talks at or about others but never to them. Lies have become the norm. But God’s word is true. God promised to deliver His children from the vane lies of the wicked, and He has proven trustworthy in that He preserved His written word for us all these generations.
