Pastor Nate brings the message, "Rend Your Heart, Not Your Garments” from Joel. We're taking a break from 1 Corinthians until after the holidays and starting a short series in the minor prophets. This week our sermon will cover the book of Joel where God calls us to practice repentance at the core of who we are: the heart.
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.
This message is taken from Ephesians 5:25-33. When it comes to the way they relate to their wives, husbands tend to fall into three categories: resentment, respect, or love. Husband, God has given you a clear path to follow in regards to your marriage: love your wife as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.
The message is taken from Ephesians 5:7-14. Where would you be today if the light of Christ had not shined on your heart and life? Christ is still shining His light through believers into darkness, and it is our prayer that we would see darkness around us become light! Are we faithfully reflecting His light?
The message is taken from Ephesians 5:1-7. If you were given a chance to exhort Christians (or even the world) concerning the seriousness of sexual immorality, what argument would you give? In this message we see Paul making the most succinct statements; and, they are weighty, attention-getting, and definitely helpful.
