Triumphal Feast Elder Bryce Lowrance

To the Church of God at Corinth • 1st Corinthians 1:2 – Elder Bryce Lowrance Paul’s epistle is to a church that is in a location that no one would have ever imagined – Corinth! In this message, Elder Bryce sets the framework for the entire epistle showing that this church, and all other true churches belong to God because He chose the people before the world began in the covenant of election; He sent His Son to dies for them; He called them in regeneration by His Spirit, and the gospel calls on them to walk like Jesus Christ. The saints of God are set-apart for a holy purpose, and they should gather together in a church body to fulfill that calling here in time. 

Elder Bryce Lowrance's introductory message on 1st Corinthians 1:1 recounts the founding of the Corinthian church and Paul's letter due to divisions. The reference to Sosthenes, who changed from opposing Paul to supporting him, emphasizes forgiveness and reconciliation. Preached on September 25, 2022, the message highlights harmony despite past conflicts.

“Keep Up the Good Work!” • 3rd John – Elder Bryce Lowrance. In a personal letter to a young man named Gaius, the Apostle John expresses his love and thankfulness for him in the truth. John is thankful for the support of the ministry that Gaius has done so far. He encourages him to continue being a fellow helper to the truth while ignoring those that were Diotrephes, who only wanted to have his way and had no regard for Apostolic authority. John points to Demetrius, who seems to be an older disciple doing the same work as Gaius, as an example to follow. He closes the letter with an important reminder that face to face fellowship is the key to truly understanding and living the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Part 2 begins in verse 9.
