The Foundation God Demands

March 20, 2019

1 Corinthians 3:10-17 is all about how you, a believing Christian, are part of Christ’s church, and that you are being built together on the the foundation of Jesus Christ to be a strong, immovable, and lasting church.

The Church- Humble Servants of God

March 13, 2019

What goes through your mind when you think of the word “Church?” Often we think of things that we want, or things that we don’t like… in this message we consider the cause of Corinth’s spiritual immaturity and ultimately find it is because this church wasn’t focused on God. So it begs the question, how do we know we are focusing on God, especially when it comes to “Church?”

Grow Up

March 5, 2019

The church in Corinth was called out for something that is often found acceptable in our own selves, spiritual infancy. In 1 Corinthians 3:1-4 we read Paul’s charge for them to grow up, to become more than human; this should be the norm for Christ’s church everywhere.

The Work of the Holy Spirit

February 26, 2019

There are times when the Holy Spirit is overlooked, we forget that He is the third person of the Trinity, we forget that He is almighty, we forget that He dwells within the believer. Corinth needed to be reminded of the Holy Spirit’s work in 1 Corinthians 2:6-16

Why Are You Saved?

February 20, 2019

When the rich young ruler approached Jesus he asked, “What must I do to be saved?” It’s a great question, but we find out from the context that he thought pretty highly of ourselves. When Paul writes to the Corinthian church he reminds them that God chose what was foolish, what was weak, and what was low… proving that Christ is the only reason anyone has in regards to salvation.

A Difference of Perspective

February 13, 2019

When Paul speaks about God choosing foolishness to shame the wise in 1 Corinthians 1, he isn’t prescribing that we should chase after foolish things. Instead, we are seeing a clear line being drawn. That line is “We Preach Christ Crucified;” and your perspective of that line is determined by where you stand- either perishing or being saved.

Division Doesn’t Make Sense

February 5, 2019

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.
