Triumphal Feast • 012. 1st Corinthians 1:21-25 – “The Foolishness of God” Part 1

The Foolishness of God • 1st Corinthians 1:21-25 – Elder Bryce Lowrance continues in the expository series on Paul’s first letter to the Church at Corinth. To the world God and salvation by Christ alone seems foolish, but to us who are already saved, it is the power of God and gives us peace. In this sermon, we see the importance of belief. It is an objective fact that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and is King of all creation. Whatever a person believes about this does not change this fact. However, our perspective of this fact has a great effect on our lives. If we do not believe that Jesus is the substitute sacrifice for our sins, we will stumble in our understanding of Who He is and why He came. On the other hand, if do believe He is our Savior, we ought to be active in our service to Him.This message was preached on Sunday, November 13, 2022.

Triumphal Feast • 011. 1st Corinthians 1:17-24 – “The Cross of Christ Is Enough” Part 2

“The Cross of Christ Is Enough” • 1st Corinthians 1:17-24 Part 2 – Elder Bryce Lowrance In the confusion of this message, we return to Isaiah Chapter 29 and learn that looking for confidence in ourselves or in things of the world will always disappoint us. And so it is with our salvation. If we trust in the work of Christ and our faith, we will be ashamed. However, if we trust in Christ alone, we will find that the simple gospel is true – The cross of Christ is enough! This message was preached on Sunday, November 7, 2022.

Triumphal Feast • 010. 1st Corinthians 1:17*24 – “The Cross of Christ Is Enough” Part 1

“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 taught adherence to the law or men’s phil osophies were also needed in addition to the cross of Christ. Paul sets the record straight – The Cross is enough! This message was preached on Sunday, November 7, 2022.

Triumphal Feast • 009. 1st Corinthians 1:13-17 – “Baptism” Part 2

Baptism • 1st Corinthians 1:13-17 – Elder Bryce Lowrance Part 2 The last portion of this sermon begins with Peter’s sermon on Pentecost and the baptism of the believers there. It also covers the rebaptism that occurs in Acts 19 because of the incomplete gospel preached by Apollos.This message was preached on Sunday, October 23, 2022.

Triumphal Feast • 008. 1st Corinthians 1:13-17 – “Baptism” Part 1

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. This message was preached on Sunday, October 23, 2022.

Triumphal Feast • 007. 1st Corinthians 1:10-16 – “Divisions” Part 2

Divisions • 1st Corinthians 1:10-16 – Elder Bryce Lowrance Part 2 – Church unity is vital to health work of the Body of Christ. If we have a greater desire to get our own way rather than seeking God’s will and the benefit of others, we are in danger of vain worship. The solution is clear – unity is found din having the same mind and that is the mind of Christ and speaking and teaching on the the word of God.This message was preached on Sunday, October 16, 2022.

Triumphal Feast • 006. 1st Corinthians 1:10-16 – “Divisions” Part 1

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. This message was preached on Sunday, October 16, 2022.

Triumphal Feast • 005. 1st Corinthians 1:3-9 – “Enriched by God” Part 2

“Enriched by God” • 1st Corinthians 1:4-9 Part 2 – Elder Bryce Lowrance Part 2 of this message contains the conclusion the sermon. The focus in this portion of Scripture is on the fact that the child of God is only truly enriched by the blessings of God not the things of this world.This message was preached on October 9, 2022.

Triumphal Feast • 004. 1st Corinthians 1:3-9 – “Enriched by God” Part 1

“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.This message was preached on October 9, 2022.

Triumphal Feast • 003. 1st Corinthians 1:1-2 – “To the Church of God at Corinth” Part 2

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. This sermon was preached on October 2, 2022.
