"So many roads to follow, He said 'there's one'. So many make believers, He said, 'I've come'", so says a songwriter several years back. We really have to decide, whether to walk in the light of God's amazing grace, or to be stuck in a maze of our own doing, holding to misunderstandings and misapplications of Scripture. Misunderstandings like the "carnal Christian" teaching. In this passage, 1 Corinthians 3:5-23, Paul lays out truth but many have misunderstood and misapplied it, to their own hurt and to the hurt of many others. What are these misunderstandings and misapplications? Come with the Grace United crew as we further explore our way out of the maze of mere spirituality by avoiding 3 more dead ends as found in this passage.

Many skeptics have tried to point out that the Bible contains contradictions, like Proverbs 26:4-5: "Don't answer a fool" on one hand, but we are to "Answer a fool" on the other. What is that all about? And what does that have to do with Paul's ongoing battle with the false teachers who have infiltrated the church of Corinth? Come with the Grace United crew as we discover how Paul employs divine wisdom, answering fools according to their folly.

The Scripture is full of the goodness of the Lord. He greatly desires to bless everybody--and he has! But the same book which reveals his blessings also reveals his warnings to his people who live in persistent rebellion against his almighty authority. The Lord gives a massive, devasting list of curses, couched as warnings to his people. But what about New Testament truth? Hasn't God taken away the curse because Jesus became a curse for us? Come with the Grace United crew as we, with trembling hearts hear God's warnings, "On Steroids" to his people as proclaimed in both Old and New Testaments.

War is among the uglliest, if not the ugliest activities anybody can engage in. People don't use the phrase, "war is hell" for nothing. Imagers of God actually killing fellow imagers of God with the sanction, with the approval, with the command of one's respective government. It was no different with Israel, as the Lord commanded his people to go to war. However Moses gave instructions about how soidiers were to ready themselves in preparation to fight against their enemy. What were those instructions? Is engaging in warfare proper for God's people today? Come with the Grace United crew as we discover anew and afresh of God's dealing with warfare, from the perspective of his holiness.

In order to serve God well, we not only have to know what he is but also what we are in relation to him. For the sake of time this evening, I will assume that we know something about God.
