Paul has said that Christ and Him crucified is the basis for our life to be built upon. How we live is what we build for eternity, but will it all burn up in the end? 

Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor In chapter 2, Paul will present two ways we can live our lives. After building an understanding of God's wisdom and man's wisdom, Paul now shows how these two wisdoms can affect our lives. Which will we choose to live in and live out? What we choose will not only affect our lives but also the lives of those around us. Will we be spiritual Christians or natural Christians?

Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor Today John gets to the point of his letter. Smooth talking teachers were trying to infiltrate the church and lead these young believers astray. John calls these teachers antichrists and exposes the lies that they teach. John's encouragement is for these believers to know the truth, call out the lie, and remain in Jesus' words of truth. We live in a day of many influencers. A lot of people are saying a lot of "good" things. Are we able to discern the lies that surround us and know where to stay and where not to stay when it comes to the only thing that really matters?

Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor As Jesus looked around Galilee He stated that the work was plentiful and that the workers willing to step up to serve were... few. But Jesus already had a solution. He had 12 men at His side that He created for this good work. Today as we look at our Church and our community it can feel overwhelming with the amount of work that needs to be done. This sense of being overwhelmed will quickly dissipate when we all realize that we are ALL called to this work.

Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor Studies show that the majority of Christians believe it is important to share one's faith with the world. The same studies show that very few do this on a regular basis. If Jesus is the most important reality in our life that has changed us and led us to abundance in life, then how could we keep from sharing Him with those close to us in life?
