Pastor Nate brings the message, "A Powerful Weakness” from 1 Corinthians 4:9-21. The first section of Paul's letter comes to a close with a climactic statement that the kingdom of God does not consist in talk but in power. In other words, the measure of a person's walk with God is not determined by what he says but by the power of God at work in his life.
Pastor Nate brings the message, "Servants and Stewards" from 1 Corinthians 4:1-5. In our study of 1 Corinthians, we've seen that there have been weird loyalties in the church to leaders like Paul, Apollos, and Peter. Certainly not helpful to the unity of God's people, then or now! As he closes out this first section of the letter, Paul shows us what leaders in the church are to be: servants of Christ and stewards of God. But then, doesn't that sound like the role for all Christians?
Pastor Andy brings the message, “Take Care How You Build” from 1 Corinthians 3:10-23. Not all buildings are of the same quality, even though they may be complete. What matters is the material used in construction. Paul uses this metaphor to warn and encourage us as we build the Church for God's glory and with God's resources.
Pastor Nate brings the message, “Time to Grow Up” from 1 Corinthians 3:1-9. You've seen the toddler who has to have it his way. That little guy can disrupt a room full of people. In the church, Christians can act like toddlers and it can cause all kinds of division. In this first section of 1 Corinthians (chapters 1-4), God's Word continues to lead us away from our sinfulness in order to find unity in Christ.
Pastor Nate brings the message, “Confidence in God, Not Ourselves” from 1 Corinthians 2. What role would you be playing if God did push a true, Christ-exalting, gospel-centered revival into the hearts of people? Providentially, we arrive at 1 Corinthians 2 this Sunday where the Bible gives us a sound confidence that God uses His methods, not the world's, to ultimately carry out the work.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Believing What is Foolish” from 1 Corinthians 1:18-31.The message of the Gospel will always be rejected by some as utter nonsense and foolishness. Yet, God has seen fit to show His wisdom through the cross and bring people from all over the world to Himself. Because the gospel is the power of God unto salvation, we will keep the foolishness of the gospel at the center and boast, not in ourselves, but in Him.
Pastor Nate brings the message, "Gospel Unity for a Divided Church” from 1 Corinthians 1:10-17. Could members of a church ever divide over favorite leadership personalities? In Corinth well-known leaders like Paul, Apollos, and Peter were becoming icons of loyalty, and Paul wasn't having any of it. This first section of 1 Corinthians is instructive for Christians concerning the essential center for unity in the church.
Pastor Nate brings the message, "God’s Kindness for Imperfect People” from 1 Corinthians 1:1-9. This week we begin a new sermon series in 1 Corinthians. You can familiarize yourself with the book by reading summary notes from a study Bible; reading the book itself, or even skimming the chapters and their subtitles.
Two weeks ago, we saw Jesus moving us from the religious celebration of the Passover meal to a new meal we call "communion." On Sunday we will be studying this important ordinance and seeing how God uses this meal in our lives. Following the sermon we will, like a family, participate in the communion meal together.
Pastor Tom Siefert brings the message, "God Only Wise." We live in a world that often appears chaotic, so even the experiences of our personal lives can seem pointless and random. The reality is that everything in the world and our lives is being guided by the wisdom of God. This gives us hope when things are confusing. Despite how it looks, God is working everything toward the design He has ordained.
