A Pulpit in Need of Repair, Part 2
by Joey Carroll Corinth Missionary Baptist Church
Last week I wrote that Jesus Christ and Him crucified should be the content of every sermon. If you are a Christian, certainly you agree “…for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among mankind by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12, NASB).

A Pulpit in Need of Repair
by Joey Carroll Corinth Missionary Baptist Church
If you read last week, I made the case that the first century culture surrounding the church at Corinth was mesmerized by the way men spoke. Philosophy had taken off, and the rhetorical skills of men were advancing. Unfortunately, it seems as though some men carried this new style into the pulpit. Paul uses a couple of different phrases to describe what was going on… “cleverness of speech” (1:17, NASB) and “superiority of speech” (2:1, NASB). And so Paul seeks to restore the pulpit at Corinth to a faithful way of handling the Word of God.
How much should culture influence the church?
by Joey Carroll Corinth Missionary Baptist Church
We live in a world that is constantly changing, and those changes seem to leave nothing untouched. But a reasonable person should ask the question, “How much should the church be changing? How much influence should an ever-changing culture have on the church?”
God With Us
by Cody Anderson Corinth Missionary Baptist Church
The birth of Jesus Christ stands as one of the most profound and transformative events in all of history. The impact it has on the believing and nonbelieving is unquantifiable. The Messiah’s arrival was used to create a universal labeling for our years with AD 1 which is Latin for “In the Year of our Lord”. On the spiritual side of things, this event was a divine act of God where He stepped into mankind’s history to bring about hope, peace, salvation and the new covenant.
