Pastor Andy brings the message, "A Hopeless Christianity" from 1 Corinthians 15:12-19.  Have you ever contemplated what life after death will be like? Paul will lead the Corinthian church down the rabbit hole of alternate reality if there is no bodily resurrection of all those who are in Christ. It is a hopeless picture. This will set up Paul's hopeful discussion in verses 20-28, which we will look at next week.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Remembering the Gospel” from 1 Corinthians 15:1-11. The resurrection of Jesus is what makes or breaks everything for us.  This Sunday we begin 1 Corinthians 15 where God's Word begins unpacking so many wonderful Gospel themes.  If you have friends you're witnessing to, it would be a good week to invite them.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Building Up the Church" from 1 Corinthians 14:1-25. This Sunday, we arrive at one of the most debated chapters in all the Bible, 1 Corinthians 14. While the topics of prophecy and tongues are certainly up for debate, there is a foundational truth that every Christian needs to pursue: the building up of the church.  So, as we prepare to gather this Sunday, pray that God will cause His Word to be taught clearly and received humbly.

Pastor Nate brings the message, “Protecting Unity with the Lord’s Supper” - Part 1, from 1 Corinthians 11:17-22.  We are returning back to chapter 11 for the next two weeks and studying the unity of the local church around the Lord's Table.  The problem was that the Corinthians were so wrongfully divided that their practice of the Lord's Supper was actually invalidated.  There are crucial lessons to learn and practices to apply within this important passage so that our church reflects Biblical, God-honoring unity.   

Pastor Stephen brings the message, "The Importance of Love" from 1 Corinthians 12:28-13:1-8a.  Scripture is filled with many beautiful passages that seem to be made for coffee mugs and decorative posters, and 1 Corinthians 13 could certainly fit into that category. But within this wonderful passage about love is also a difficult call - to live a life that models that beauty consistently in the world around us. So on Sunday, we'll not only talk about the beauty of biblical love, but also about the high calling this love places on our lives. 

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Belonging and Being the Body of Christ” from 1 Corinthians 12:12-27.  The human body is a work of Creative Genius.  Its connectivity and interdependence has the best doctors and researchers regularly amazed.  God has so designed the church to be a body in its own way with each person being interdependent with others to live the Christian life. 

Pastor Nate brings the message, "The Spirit’s Unity in the Church’s Diversity” from 1 Corinthians 12:1-13.  In our Christian "circles" we tend to minimize the Spirit of God.  It might be that we've over-reacted to bad theology elsewhere, and are now missing the important role of the Spirit.  However, it's crucial for every Christian to see that only by the Spirit can we truly be saved and united in Christ.

(We'll come back to the second half of chapter 11 in a few weeks).

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Headship, Hair, and Cultural Expressions” from 1 Corinthians 11:2-26.  Based on this passage, should we hand out head-scarves at the door for all women?

Pastor Nate brings the message, "The Good of Others, The Glory of God” from 1 Corinthians 10:23-11:1.  How we view others might be the strongest indicator of how we view God.  As we conclude another section in 1 Corinthians, God's Word helps us see that a God-glorifying life follows the example of Jesus who poured out His life for the good of others.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "The Great Escape” from 1 Corinthians 10:11-14.  Last week we covered the big picture of chapter 10.  In this message, we come back to the center of the chapter and look more closely at the verses which speak to God's faithfulness in the midst of our temptation.
