This Fall we will work through 1 Corinthians. The book was written by Paul to a church he planted in Corinth, Greece. This church was far from perfect, in fact it was full of conflict and challenges! Which makes it a helpful church for us - to see what advice Paul gave them!

In this sermon we look at the situation in and around this church.

Our usual image of Jesus doesn't include thoughts of a ferocious lion! He is meek and kind and serving - washing feet.

So what do we learn from this name for Jesus?

Today we begin three weeks of looking at names for Jesus. The first name is perhaps the most puzzling: WORD. We will look at some backgrounds that explain why this name was perfect when John first used it - and why it still has an important message for us today.

Almost all of the names of God speak to how great or powerful He is. God's greatness doesn't always make us feel comfortable in approaching Him. Jesus changed all that for us when He taught us to call God, "Abba."

God is a shepherd for His people. He cares, He protects, He provides. Our welfare is one of His top priorities. Is it any wonder that the 23rd Psalm is one of the most popular passages in all of the Bible?!

A banner has always been a place where we focus our attention. It is a point around which to rally. We have a God who gives us not only direction and purpose but also confidence.

In this series, there are two names of God introduced in the New Testament. One of them is not mentioned until the last book of the Bible, Revelation. God Himself says that He is the Alpha and Omega. In this sermon we'll learn what He was talking about - and what we need to learn about God.

God is huge, unmovable, totally reliable. We have already seen that when we looked at God Almighty. But God, this rock, is also a place of safety for each of us. God is very personal as well!

In life we face many difficult times. That's not new. People have always faced times of testing in life. The promise we have is that God is a God who will provide!

A woman was in a deep crisis. She felt all alone and abandoned - no hope. Then God came to her and she new everything was going to be OK.

She told God, "You see me!" That's our God!
