About this episode

In this episode of the Cedars Church Podcast, we look at 1 Corinthians 7: 25-40, where Pastor Lyall Armstrong shares insights living with a sense of urgency and faithfulness, reflecting on the teachings of Paul.

  • Paul urges first-century believers to live in light of the end times, where their decisions and actions should reflect this reality.
  • He emphasizes the importance of staying where they were when called—whether slave or free—and focusing on their commitment to God in that context.
  • Through the difficulties of life, he encourages the church to remember that the things they hold onto, such as relationships and possessions, are temporary and may change at any moment. This includes having undivided attention to God, particularly in managing desires like sexual temptation.
  • As a Church, the question we must ask ourselves today is: How are we responding to the circumstances around us? Are our actions glorifying God, and are we living as if Christ could return at any moment?

Through this message, we’re encouraged to grow in our understanding of God’s word and to live out our faith with wisdom and love.

Tune in to reflect, be inspired, and join us in our journey to build a vibrant, supportive community grounded in truth. Subscribe to stay connected with weekly sermons and teachings from Cedars Church Beirut.
