Life is often hard … filled with disappointment and pain. We’re often left with questions and the biggest one is usually, “why?” The most basic answer is that we are living in a world that has been broken … twisted and perverted by Satan and the sinful actions of every human on the planet. Heartache, pain, goodbyes, and death were never a part of God’s plan. There has to be more than this life. This can’t be all there is. There has to be more. How can we know? The gospel. It is the basis of our hope.

Abound in the Lord
March 3, 2024 • Matthew Allen • 1 Corinthians 15:58—16:12
I believe the message here really speaks to our time. And I hope we can come to better understand it. Always excelling in the Lord’s work. Paul is calling for not doing just enough to get by. He is calling for us to do as much as possible. This principle is found throughout the New Testament. God wants us to abound in our love and service for Him. What is said in 1 Corinthians 15.58 sets up everything in the first 12 verses of chapter 16. Here, Paul teaches that it is all about doing the work of the Lord. And not only doing it but abounding in it.
