Grace Church On The Mount Podcast

How comfortable are you with talking about sex in church and in mixed company? The apostle Paul wrote this first letter to Corinthian believers in response to problems he had heard about, and also in response to questions they had forwarded to him. Sex is one of those topics many of us feel squeamish about. But the Bible has something to say about it, to the Corinthians, and to us today

"Slave" - The historical context of the word makes us cringe, but the truth is that we are all slaves to something. What masters you? What SHOULD master you? Find out in today's sermon.

Among the many issues plaguing the Church in Corinth, apparently, some of its members had begun to bring lawsuits against one another and take each other to court, AND IT GOT UGLY! So, what happens when a fellow Christian you did business with doesn’t go a good job? What happens when a fellow believer don’t follow through on what they promised, don’t complete the work or you don’t get paid for what you did? How should Christians respond?

Is there ever a time when a Church needs to boldly and publicly confront sin within its own body? Where does LOVE factor in? And, why can’t we just let people be who they are and do what they want to do? Find out in today's tough message on Church discipline.

Arrogant, self-righteousness can be as destructive as rampant immorality. Guard your hearts against it AT ALL COST!!

We are to tenaciously guard our unity with fellow believers.

You need to synchronize your mind with God's truth.

The one Gospel-truth we must always keep at the forefront of our minds.

The church in Corinth was a tough place to minister. There were bickering, selfishness, unresolved conflicts between believers, and a rampant ignorance of some of the most basic teachings of Christianity. In light of the stern tone the letter will take, Paul the pastor starts by helping them understand the status of their relationship with Christ, lest they become dismayed to the point of complete abandoment of their faith because they think God has rejected them.

Find out in this concluding sermon how the new covenant solves the pressing problem of guilt that separates us from God as surely as the South Rim of the Grand Canyon is separate from the North Rim.

In the Davidic covenant, we learn how God extends to us an "upgrade" from what we were to what He has destined us to be.

What are the implications of the Mosaic covenant (and the accompanying 600+ laws in the Old Testament) to the Christian life today? Find out.

From covenant mediated through Abraham there begins the nation of Israel. It’s an epic story of a people from whom, in the fullness of God’s time, will come Jesus Christ the Redeemer of the world. Learn more about this far-reaching covenant.

There’s a lot happening in Genesis 6-9, where we see the seriousness of sin, the inescapable judgment of God, and God’s gracious rescue. But it’s the aftermath of the global Flood that is our focus in today's sermon.

What if... A question that still plagues mankind today: What if I had waited. What if I had finished school. What if I stopped earlier. What if I went back, What if I wasn't so stubborn, What if 'that' didn't happen to me. Learn from today's message how to leave your "what-if" worrying about yesterday, and trust God's plan for today.

Our miracle today is about proving who the real God is and helping us be able to recognize and follow the real God instead of following the false gods of the world. In order for us to really be able to recognize God as the one true God and follow Him, we need to be confident in our hearts and minds about the answers to these 3 questions: Do we really have to make a choice? How do we recognize a false god? What makes the true God different?

Today we’re going to look at the story of a man named Naaman who was suffering from an incurable disease, and he was told how to get rid of his disease – only he wasn’t quite ready to be humble enough for what he heard. In fact, we’re going to see that Naaman almost missed the healing that God had for him because of his PRIDEFUL ATTITUDE.

On the night of His arrest, Jesus heals the chopped off ear of a man named, Malchus. What makes this miracle extraordinary is not just the restoration of the ear, itself, but the circumstances surrounding and leading up to the miracle itself. From a human perspective, it is a chaotic and about-to-be a violent scene, yet it’s in the midst of the chaos that Jesus slows down the reel to perform a miracle.

Revelation 3:5 is a little concerning. Some think that it implies a believer can lose their salvation. That God has an eraser. But the message John writes is not a warning. Rather, he simply uses a figure of speech that describes something positive by expressing its opposite. Find what the apostle had in mind when he wrote of the Book of life.

When God works a miracle through a man, He's not just doing something, He's saying something. In part one of this series, find out how God takes what we consider insignificant, and transforms it into something profound.
