CHRIST’S PURPOSEFUL CALL INTO HIS KINGDOM
Monday Bible Study (September 14, 2020) CHRIST’S PURPOSEFUL CALL INTO HIS KINGDOM 1 Corinthians 1:1-9 Our call to salvation is a call to the kingdom of God. As Paul the apostle, the writer of the epistle to the Corinthians, was called to the kingdom of God, the believers in Corinth were also “called to be saints”. A sinner comes into the kingdom of God the moment he or she repents and turns to the Lord. Christ said, “Except a man…

CHRIST’S COMPELLING COMMISSION FOR ALL CHRISTIANS
Monday Bible Study(August 31st, 2020) CHRIST’S COMPELLING COMMISSION FOR ALL CHRISTIANS Mark 16:15,16 This study reminds us of Christ’s compelling commission for all Christians: “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned”. Although many believers are familiar with the great commission, they do not obey it (Luke 6:46).
