Christians are called to settle disputes within the Church.
1 Corinthians 4:14-5:13 "Loving Discipline"
Sometimes church discipline is the most loving thing we can do. In this passage, Paul instructs the Church in Corinth on how to handle unrepentant sin within the body of Christ.
1 Corinthians 1:18-25 "Fact or Foolishness"
We are celebrating Easter this year by revisiting 1 Corinthians 1:18-25. Ultimately, every human must decide if the Resurrection is fact or a matter of foolishness.
Matthew 12:1-11 "Triumph or Tragedy"
We are pausing our series on 1 Corinthians to celebrate Palm Sunday. Today, we recognize that Jesus entered Jerusalem as a wise and humble King, not a weakling.
1 Corinthians 4:1-17 "Under-Rowers and Stewards"
In today's passage, Paul confronts the Corinthians for foolishly measuring by the world’s standards. This mistake is leading to pride and divisions as they seek to impress human judges. Instead, Paul shows them that they should be obedient to Christ alone, and they are accountable to Christ alone.
1 Corinthians 3:18-23 "Humbly Embracing God's Wisdom"
In today's passage, Paul implores the Corinthians to reject worldly wisdom by humbly embracing God's wisdom. Chris reminds us that in order to embrace God's wisdom we must avoid two common pitfalls-- thinking too highly of ourselves, and thinking too highly of others.
1 Corinthians 3:5-17 "Farmers & Framers"
We sometimes expect too much in the way of WOW-factor, and too little in the way of true wisdom, so today's big idea is simple: Church leaders are called to farming and framing, not fame and fortune. Paul divides up this section between two metaphors related to agriculture and architecture.
1 Corinthians 2:6-3:4 "The Spirit of Wisdom
God gives us His Spirit and His wisdom so that we can walk wisely. However, the gift of the Spirit is primary because it enables us to unwrap the gift of God’s wisdom. We consider these two gifts as we continue our series on 1 Corinthians.
1 Corinthians 1:17-2:5 "Fools for Christ"
In 1 Corinthians chapter 1, Paul explains that the Gospel is “foolishness to those who are perishing”. As a result, followers of Christ must be willing to look like fools for Christ.
1 Corinthians 1:10-17 "Corinthian Contention"
Christ cannot be divided, so the Church must strive to be united!
1 Corinthians 1:1-9 "Saints and Sinners"
We are kicking off our time in 1 Corinthians by looking at Paul's greeting in verses 1-9. Paul's words to the Church in Corinth remind us that we are saints, even though we sin!

The Sacrificial Husband
This week we continue our mini-series on Christian marriage by taking a look at the role of a Christian husband as defined in Ephesians 5! According to God’s design, the role of a husband is defined by Christlike sacrifice for the sake of his wife.
The Meaning of Marriage
Marriage was God's idea, so we must look to God's Word to understand the true meaning of marriage.
Waiting, Worshipping, Witnessing
Christmas is about worshipping while we wait for Christ!

The Coming King Pt. 1
God promised to pierce darkness with the announcement of His coming Messiah. Today’s passage introduces us to the coming King by revealing His extraordinary nature. Jesus, the Messiah, is more than a mere man, so our hope is secure in Him!
A Thrill of Hope
If Jesus is our living hope, then we can live our lives with a daily hope regardless of our circumstances!
Pray Expectantly
If God’s Word is true, we should pray expectantly!
Pray Thankfully
We should gratefully acknowledge what God has already given us before we ask for more!
