   Believing That Is Becoming

   Believing That Is Becoming 1 Corinthians 2–3 | Jeremiah 32:38–40 This message emphasizes that genuine faith in Jesus is more than believing something about Him; it is a believing that is continually becoming more like Him. Our believing affects our behavior, and our behavior reveals whether we're being led by the Spirit of God or governed by the desires of our flesh. Paul confronted the believers at Corinth because, although they had received the gospel and the wisdom of God, their jealousy, strife, and divisions exposed their spiritual immaturity. They were placing their confidence in gifted servants rather than recognizing that Paul, Apollos, and Peter were merely instruments through whom God was working. The servants planted and watered, but God gave the increase. The message reminds us that God has given us His Word and His Spirit, not merely to increase our knowledge, but to transform our lives. His wisdom teaches us to depend upon Him rather than our own understanding, producing humility, patience, purity, love, and a willingness to serve others without competition or offense. When we're Spirit-led, even life's difficulties and relationships become opportunities for God to accomplish His good purpose in us—conforming us to the image of Jesus. Drawing from Jeremiah 32:38–40, the message reveals God's desire to give His people one heart and one way, placing His fear within them so they will continually walk with Him. This reverence produces a lifestyle of dependence that blesses not only us but also those who come after us. Ultimately, the great evidence of our believing is who and what we're becoming. When we receive God's Word, yield to His Spirit, and trust Je

   When Babies Go to Heaven, Do They Get a Halo, Harp and Wings?

   ### Christians in Heaven ≠ Harp, Halo, Wings **Sunday School Lesson — Pastor Ed Decker** This lesson examines what the Bible teaches about heaven, the resurrection, and the future of believers. Through passages from 1 Corinthians 13, 1 Thessalonians 4:13–17, Matthew 18:3–12, and Mark 12:18, the lesson directs attention away from popular cultural images and toward the testimony of Scripture. First Corinthians 13 contrasts our present, partial understanding with the fuller understanding associated with that which is perfect. First Thessalonians 4 provides the comforting promise of Christ's return, the resurrection of the dead in Christ, and the gathering of believers to be with the Lord. Matthew 18 addresses humility, conversion, the example of little children, and Christ's warning concerning the little ones. Mark 12:18 introduces the Sadducees, who questioned the resurrection, providing an opportunity to consider the biblical teaching concerning life after death. Together, these passages encourage believers to distinguish what Scripture actually says from assumptions that have developed through tradition, artistic representation, and popular imagination. **Central takeaway:** Our understanding of eternity should be grounded in the Word of God. The Christian hope is not founded on harps, halos, or wings, but on the promises of God and the assurance of being with the Lord. **Key Scripture:** 1 Thessalonians 4:17 (KJV) — "and so shall we ever be with the Lord."

   Paul's Divine Appointment

   The sermon explores the narrative of Paul's shipwreck in Malta, emphasizing that even amidst disaster and apparent misfortune, God remains sovereign and in control. It highlights how God uses unexpected circumstances, such as the viper bite and the healing of Publius's father, to validate the gospel and provide opportunities for Paul to glorify Christ. The preacher encourages believers to view their own trials as divine appointments designed to grow their faith and demonstrate God's power to others. Furthermore, the text calls for a posture of selfless service and kindness, urging Christians to serve others even when they are the ones in need, rather than assuming entitlement to comfort. Ultimately, the message affirms that God's providence guides all events to bring honor to His name and advance the spread of the gospel.
