Please turn with me in your bibles to 2 Timothy 3. 2 Timothy 3. We will be looking at verse 17 and, if the Lord wills, conclude our little series of 3 sermons on the word of God, the doctrine of scripture. I’m sure I haven’t exhausted this text, although I may have exhausted some of you, so I will endeavor to wrap it up today. Of the making of books there is no end,…
Please turn with me in your bibles to 2 Timothy chapter 3. Second timothy chapter 3. Last week we began this short series on the doctrine of scripture by looking into what exactly is entailed by Paul’s first statement in verse 16, that all scripture is God-breathed. We looked at how the bible views itself,...
Good morning. Please turn with me to 2 Timothy chapter 3. Second Timothy chapter 3. I’m pausing our study through First Corinthians for the moment, to turn and examine the doctrine of scripture. We learned last week from 1 Corinthians 13 that Love does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rather love rejoices in the truth....
Good Evening. Please turn with me to 1 Corinthians 13. 1 Corinthians 13. We’ve been working our way through Paul’s famous chapter on love, and we have noted along the way that this is no mere sentimental fluff.

Good evening. Please turn with me in your bibles to 1 Corinthians chapter 13. 1 Corinthians 13. We’re diving back into Paul’s section on Love, wherein he describes what Love IS and what love DOES. He’s giving the Corinthian believers, and us, a benchmark, a standard by which we may test ourselves to see how...
It’s been a while, but if you will recall, we’ve been slowly going through 1 Corinthians. Specifically, we had been working through chapter 13 of Paul’s letter to the struggling church in Corinth. The Corinthians were a young and gifted congregation, and they were positioned in a very influential and cosmopolitan city. They were surrounded...
Please turn with me in your copies of holy scripture to 1 Corinthians 13. 1 Corinthians 13. We’ve been working our way through this well-known text on Sunday evenings, and today we will continue with the next descriptor of love: it does not envy. Love is not envious. Paul wrote this passage write in the...
We’re continuing our long journey through Paul’s profound epistle to the struggling church in Corinth, the ancient Greek city. Paul is in the middle of an extended rebuke of the Corinthian church in chapters 12-14, where he is showing them like a patient father how they have been misbehaving.
