SCPC Podcast: Redeemed Talk 8, God, Sex and Singleness

June 29th, 2008 · 2 Comments

In this bible talk from 1 Corinthians 7:23-40 by Steve Cree the primary focus of Paul’s discussion now shifts from marriage to singleness. In reality his teaching about marriage and singleness is interwoven through the whole chapter, without the clear distinction the talk titles imply (we started the Bible reading at verse 23 to show [...]

Rich words - Rich love

June 22nd, 2008 · 8 Comments

There are plenty of reasons why our church will always sing old hymns. It’s not just so that those among us whose hair has a ‘grey tinge’ can reminisce about the days of old - it’s for all of us.
For starters, it’d be such a shame to turn our backs on the musical and lyrical [...]

SCPC Podcast: Redeemed Talk 7, God, Sex and Marriage

June 22nd, 2008 · No Comments

In this bible talk from 1 Corinthians 7:1-24 we continue to see Paul correcting wrong ideas of spirituality in the Corinthian church, especially because this wrong thinking spirituality was leading to disastrous actions sexually. At one extreme there was the ‘anything goes’ view (6:12-20). Now we see the other ‘no go’ extreme, where all sex [...]

All I am is Yours

June 15th, 2008 · No Comments

“All I am is yours.” It’s a big thing to say. “Everything I am, everything I have, every single thing about me - it’s all yours.”
Sounds costly, doesn’t it? But - if you’re a Christian - it’s true. Everything about you belongs to Jesus: “You are not your own; you were bought at a price. [...]

SCPC Podcast: Redeemed Talk 6, Redeemed Bodies

June 15th, 2008 · 1 Comment

In this bible talk from 1 Corinthians 6:12-20 we see more “Corinth in the church” rather than “the church of God in Corinth” (1:2). Last week it was the legal realm, this week the sexual realm. But the common factor in it all is serving self rather then Jesus. The Corinthians’ favorite slogan is “everything [...]
