In today's episode we are in the second half of 1 Corinthians 10. When we read of idols, we often think of something made of wood or metal that is worshiped, but idols can come in many forms. We are called to keep God first, flee from idols, and find our satisfaction in Him!

In today's episode Nate and Travis are joined by John, the worship pastor that works with Jared.  We sit down and work through 1 Corinthians 10. Sin is always competing with our love for God and to the extent we do not find ourself content with God, we will seek contentment in sin, from grumbling or idols or sexual immorality or many other sins. But Jesus Himself is the answer to every discontentment we have, we need only seek Him and find as the hymn says, "that the things of earth with grow strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace."

Today we take a letter that we received and answer some of the questions that were asked. Mainly, we worked to answer the difference between OT Israel vs. the NT church and how Jesus makes all the difference. 

We continue our journey through 1 Corinthians and this week we continue in chapter 9. The gospel is brought to different people and different cultures. There are things we can take from culture and things we must reject. What can we learn about how to distinguish between clarifying the gospel and compromising it. 

Welcome to 2026, it's a new year!  This episode marks a year of us being together and we are thankful for each of you for listening! We are back in the book of 1 Corinthians and looking at chapter 9.  Paul is discussing his 'rights.' There are things that Paul could say he is owed, it is his right to do so. Yet Paul doesn't claim his rights, because he is a servant to Christ and a servant to all, he must make his decisions based not on his rights, but what he believes is right for the church, is best for the church, and most glorifying to God. 

On today's episode we discuss Christmas traditions, our favorite movie around this time, and what we are thinking about/preaching on during the Christmas season. 

On today's episode we are discussing 1 Corinthians 8. As Christians we have freedom in Christ and as Christians we also should not flaunt our freedoms to a 'weaker brother or sister.' Be considerate of others, be loving, think of what builds up and not what causes tension. 

On today's episode, we discuss 1 Corinthians 7, we discuss how our decisions in life are to be guided by Holy decisions and Holy ambitions.  We need to ask the question "What does God desire of me, as a Christian in my life and as a member in the body of Christ?"  

In today's episode, Travis, Nate, and Jared discuss 1 Corinthians 7, Paul is addressing questions that people are asking about being a believer and marriage. What if you are married and one of you becomes of believer?  What do you do? Should you divorce or not?  For the Corinithians, this whole Christian thing is so new they just struggle to figure out what to do, thankfully the Holy Spirit guided Paul to speak to these issues. So sit down, take a listen, pray this is an encouragement and a hope!

Sex is a gift from God, therefore it is a good gift. But the gift is only good in the boundaries in which God has designed it. In today's episode, Holy Hanky Panky, we are reminded that God designed sex for our enjoyment and His Glory, within the boundaries of marriage between a husband and a wife.
