Pastor Nate brings the message, "Grow Where You Are” from 1 Corinthians 7:17-24. Is it a challenge to be content with your lot in life?  It is easy to glance side to side, see the prizes that God has given to others, and wish we could have what they have.  In this section of chapter 7, God calls us to realize that we ultimately have the greatest of gifts already so that we can thrive wherever He has placed us.  

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Single, Married, Divorced…To the Glory of God” from 1 Corinthians 7:8-16.  It's amazing how sufficient the Word of God is concerning each area of life.  As we continue in our study of 1 Corinthians 7, Paul shows us how to live for the glory of God no matter what relationship status we find ourselves in.  

Pastor Nate brings the message, "The Bible, Sex, and Marriage” from 1 Corinthians 7:1-7. We know that sin has effected everything in creation, including marriage.  But, God has graciously and wisely given us His Word which is sufficient for life and godliness. 

Pastor Nate brings the message, "For the Glory of God” from 1 Corinthians 6:12-20. What would you say is your purpose in life?  Do you realize that no matter where you are or what you've done, God still gives you purpose to carry out? In a passage that starts with correction concerning sexual immorality, Paul leads us to the important principle that Christ bought us so that we might live for the glory of God.   

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Be Who Christ Saved You to Be” from 1 Corinthians 6:1-11.  Are there ever any disputes between Christians?  Yep!  Disagreements happen.  But, God has a plan that does not include taking your brother to court.  Instead, be who Christ saved you to be: a selfless follower of Him who will humbly get help from those in the church to settle the problem. 

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Do What’s Right, Not What’s Easy” from 1 Corinthians 5.  In returning to our study of 1 Corinthians we come to chapter 5 where Paul instructs the church on how to respond to egregious sin from one of its members.  The removal of a church member due to sin is never easy or convenient, but it is necessary in order to pursue purity in the church.

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 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.
