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, "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 Andy brings the message, "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly” - Part 1 rom Judges 6-9. As we work our way through the book of Judges, we are increasingly aware of the faults of the deliverers God uses. Gideon presents us with another leader who is deeply flawed. In ways reminiscent of Gideon, we will see our heart temptations lead us to trust what we can see versus trusting the word of God.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Incomplete Obedience" from Judges 4. The book of Judges will continue to take us on the journey of Israel's downward spiral in chapter 4. It keeps us longing for a Judge that will deliver us not just from sinful circumstances, but from a heart that leads us into that sin.
Pastor Nate brings the message, "Worshiping the Wrong God” from Judges 2:6-3:6. The downward spiral in Judges begins with a generation that "did not know the LORD or the work that he had done for Israel." What a sad reality when the next generation forgets God and turns to idolatry. Yet, as the story continues God shows His compassion and mercy even to those who turn their back on Him. He is the God of second (and infinitely more) chances.
