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 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?
