Probably the biggest denomination in the church is ‘the ignorant brethren’, because they don’t know anything about it, and they don’t teach anything about it. That’s why they’re ignorant.

Verse 3 speaks about sexual immorality. Interestingly, and if you go to 1 Corinthians chapter 6 verses 15 to 20, there are five reasons why we should avoid sexual immorality.

Certainly not! 16 Or do you not know that he...

One of the features of our time is what we call globalization or global governance. We’ve recently seen a big conference taking place in Glasgow, the COP26 Conference where they got all world leaders together to discuss climate change. They didn’t come to the conclusion they wanted but they’re going to have another conference next year and if they don’t get to a conclusion then...
Jesus is going to come again so that we can be where He is. He’ll receive us into His very presence. It’s an interesting point. Here, in our English Bibles, the word ‘come‘ is in the future tense.
