One of the great truths of the Christian faith is that in Christ, we are free from religious rules and regulations. Since we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus - we have religious liberty! But while liberty is a wonderful and precious thing - we must always be careful that in the use of our liberty we aren't doing damage to someone else's faith. It can be a tricky line to walk...but one that is made simpler when we remember to put others first.

Being a Christian is hard. Being married is hard. And being single is hard. As it turns out - no matter what situation we find ourselves in...life can be just hard! So no matter what position we find ourselves in...we are all in need of some guidance to help us navigate the various issues of life. In 1 Corinthians 7 - Paul addresses some of these issues with godly wisdom and sound guidance.

In this episode, Pastor Matt lays the ground work for his upcoming sermon through 1 Cor. 7, Marriage & Singleness.

Of all the sins that the church has to deal with - sexual sins seem to be among the most difficult - for a couple of reasons. First...they are more common than people care to admit. Second...when the church addresses them, the culture tends to label us as narrow minded, bigoted, and controlling. But even though it's unpopular, the church must deal with sexual sins because, as Paul tells the church in Corinth, sexual sins are significant and in a category all of their own.

As Paul continues to talk to the Corinthians about immorality in the church he turns his attention to the way that they handle disagreements. Their internal pettiness not only betrays a misunderstanding of their standing as believers, but it risks the reputation of the church.

In this episode, we dig deeper into Sunday’s sermon and continue the conversation on discipline in the church.

As Paul continues his letter he deals with the uncomfortable topic of immorality and church discipline.

As the divisions gained momentum and the people lived within their immaturity of the flesh, they were experiencing the result which was a breakdown in humility. Instead, they were experiencing an attitude of arrogance where they lived in judgement toward one another, questioning motives and even doubting the calling of people in leadership. Paul knew the importance of unity in everything, so he directly addresses the need for us to all be humble. Paul loved the people in this church so much that he refuses to pretend that these things were not happening and instead faces them head on.

In this episode, we welcome Pastor David back and look at what sabbatical is and isn’t.

As followers of Christ - we all have work to do which God assigned for us long ago (Eph 2:10). That work is done in the power of the Holy Spirit and the foundation of that work has always been and will always be the gospel of Jesus Christ. If we are sure to keep Christ as our foundation, then we will be building something that will last.
