  • Triumphal Feast • 028. 1st Corinthians 5 – “Church Discipline” Part 1
    Dec 11 2024
    “Church Discipline” – 1st Corinthians 5 – Elder Bryce Lowrance. The idea of church discipline is a foreign concept to most churches in our day. Paul’s teaching in this chapter shows us that this is a problem that needs to be rectified. The Church at Corinth was puffed up with their many gifts and good preaching. So much so, that they neglected to fulfill one of the church’s biggest responsibilities – teach and encourage righteous living. In this lesson, we see that the moral law of God declared in the Old Testament is still valid. We see that each church and each member of the church has the responsibility to live for Christ and encourage others to walk like Him as well. Finally, we see that church discipline is never to be done for punitive reason but to encourage repentance and holiness. This message was preached on Sunday, February 12, 2023.

    “Apostolic Authority” • 1st Corinthians 4:8-21 – Elder Bryce H. Lowrance – The Apostle Paul uses a series of Ironic statements and concessions to shock the divided parties at the Church of Corinth into repentance. He reminds them that they are believers in Christ because He first peached to them, and that they should continue following him as he follows Jesus. He ends this section with a question, “I am coming to visit with you. Would you like me to come with a chastening rod or in tender love?” This message was preached on Sunday, February 5, 2023.

  • Triumphal Feast • 024. 1st Corinthians 4:1-7 – “A Proper View of the Ministry” Part 1
    Nov 13 2024
    “A Proper View of the Ministry” • 1st Corinthians 4:1-7 – Elder Bryce H. Lowrance – The Church at Corinth was divided into several factions. This was caused by an improper view and loyalty to the various preachers who had spoken there. Today’s message will explore the role of perspective of God’s ministers of the gospel. They are the “under-rower” which is an unseen servant position that simply does the will of the Master. They are also stewards of God’s word. This means whatever understanding they have been given about the Bible it is to be dispensed to God’s people not to gain fame or reward. This message was preached on Sunday, January 22, 2023.

    “FOR the Church” • 1st Corinthians 3:16-23 – Elder Bryce H. Lowrance – Part 2 of this message continues with the theme of humility in the church of God.

    “FOR the Church” • 1st Corinthians 3:16-23 – Elder Bryce H. Lowrance – Not only is each individual child of God the Temple of the Holy Spirit, the church collectively is the place where God dwells!

Preachers should not exalt themselves and members should not exalt preachers because the most important thing in the church is Jesus Christ and the church is His Bride.
