Larry Salisbury, our missionary to Thailand, brings a message from I Kings 19:1-21.
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.
