For the preaching of the cross is to them
that perish foolishness; but unto us which
are saved it is the power of God.
I Corinthians 1:18
After we all read the above passage together I gave my congregation a short message of encouragement from it...

I Corinthians 1:18
After we all read the above passage together I gave my congregation a short message of encouragement from it...
I told the men that Christ is our solid Rock. He is a sure foundation from the storms of life. And while the world faces war, acts of terrorism and seemingly insane acts of violence, financial chaos, killer hurricanes, fierce floods, fires, earthquakes, and so much more, that the truth is that Jesus Christ is still saving souls.
I said that the simple gospel message of the Lord Jesus Christ dying for our sins and being resurrected on the third day, continues to impact our generation as it has every generation before us. And that every year millions of persons place their faith in Him and willingly repent of their sins, too.
Furthermore, I told the brothers that the Lord is still on His throne. That He is as busy as ever filling hungry hearts with hope and comfort amidst so much craziness and unrest which often characterizes our society.
I then concluded by telling these precious men that Jesus remains a faithful Carpenter. Only now, instead of building houses, He is rebuilding shattered lives. This, I declared, is the supernatural power of God at work. And He is at work, even in this chapel.
