Every preacher labors under some authority and for some end; the gospel preacher goes out under the commission of Christ alone, responsible only to God, representing not a sect, party, or creed but the whole of Christianity, moved by love for Christ and for the souls…
A study from 2 Corinthians 4:7 on Church Of Christ. Ed Rangel examines the New Testament pattern for the local church and its scriptural foundation.
A sermon by Ed Rangel from 2 Corinthians 13:14, exploring Scripture and its application to Christian life and faith.
The resurrection of the dead is a single, universal, bodily, and final act of Christ’s authority in which every person will rise at His voice—some to life, and the rest to judgment.
God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble. James 4:6–10 is not soft advice for religious people. It is a call to surrender, repentance, and real submission before God. Pride puts a man in opposition to God, but humility opens the floodgate of greater grace. This sermon presses the hearer to submit to God, resist the devil, draw near to God, and humble himself before the Lord.
The church at Thyatira was praised by Christ for love, faith, service, and perseverance—but condemned for tolerating corrupt influence that led believers into immorality and compromise. Christ warned of judgment on the unrepentant and called the faithful to hold fast until He comes. The lesson is clear: a church must grow in good works while refusing to excuse sin. Overcomers are promised fellowship with Christ and the reward of the Morning Star.
This lesson challenges every Christian to examine whether Christ is truly visible in daily life. Scripture teaches that believers are living letters, known by their love, their light, their loyalty, and their longing for heaven. When these marks are present, the world can see Jesus not just in our words, but in our lives.
Using the sinking of the Titanic as a vivid warning, this lesson calls every soul to face the certainty of judgment and the urgency of obedience. Scripture teaches that life is brief, judgment is personal, and delay is dangerous. The message is clear and biblical: get out of sin, come to Christ, and do not trust tomorrow.
What really controls your choices—laws, habits, fear, or the love of Christ? From 2 Corinthians 5:14–21, this lesson shows how Christ’s sacrificial love must compel real obedience, real evangelism, and real daily Christianity. When His love fails to move us, the lost remain lost.
