Corinth was a church divided… Thankfully we are able to benefit from their division because in our text (1 Corinthians 1:10-17) we are given something to focus on when we find our own local churches in a state of division.

Grace and Peace
January 31, 2019
“Grace and Peace” seems to be a common greeting when you read through the New Testament letters. However, it doesn’t mean that “Grace and Peace” is a common idea. In 1 Corinthians 1:4-9, Paul tells us how grace brings us (and continues to bring us) into friendship (peace) with God.
Called to Be Saints Together
January 8, 2019
This message is an introduction to our series in 1 Corinthians… One of the things I wish more people knew is that the Christian has been made holy by Christ so that they can be holy for Christ. This is how our letter begins, a reminder of our calling in Christ Jesus.
All of a Sudden
December 11, 2018
An often overlooked reality of the Gospel is that one day the Lord will return to judge the earth in righteousness. It shouldn’t be overlooked, because it is the reason for the incarnation, that there would be an escape in Christ Jesus. So with this reality in mind, a question should come to mind- “What sort of people should we be?”
Memory
November 27, 2018
Memory can be a useful ally as we follow Christ. In 2 Peter 3:1-2, we read Peter reminding the 1st century church so that they will remain faithful. So, what is the reminder? How do we employ the same reminder so that we too will remain faithful?

All of 2 Peter 2 deals with false teachers… and what normally comes to mind when we think of false teachers would be considered an obvious source. But false teaching isn’t always obvious. Jesus said you will recognize them by their fruits, and that is what Peter focuses on.
How Long, O Lord?
November 13, 2018
It’s possible that after enduring as exiles, surrounded by suffering, Peter’s audience were asking the question, “How Long, O Lord?” Peter’s pastoral response to them is wonderful; he says, “The Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials.”
A Coming Judgment
November 6, 2018
An often overlooked component of the Gospel is the reality that there is a holy God who will not condone our sinfulness. There is a coming judgment. Our text (2 Peter 2:4-8) shows us what that judgment will look like by bringing up three examples.
5 Signs of a False Teacher
October 30, 2018
2 Peter 2:1-3 tells us a lot about false teachers, even that they are headed for destruction. So why are there so many false teachers? Why does the church have such a problem identifying them? Our text draws out 5 signs of false teachers so that we can identify them and disregard their teaching.
