There are many reasons why America is great. Our constitution is brilliant, our democracy is balanced, and our land is beautiful. But the greatest thing about America is that our citizens are free! As citizens of this great nation, we must never forget that freedom comes at a price, the price of blood! In the same way, as citizens of the Kingdom of God, our spiritual freedom also comes at a great price, the price of the blood of Jesus!

The fallen world we live in has its own value system. The three things that characterize this system are: the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. As followers of Christ, we’re called to reject the world’s value system and live by a higher standard. We’re called to be in the world, but not of it! Discover more next Sunday and invite a friend!

One day we will all stand before the Judgment Seat of Christ. On that day, each of us will give an account of our lives to God! The question asked at that time will be, “What did we do for the Lord and why?” On that day, some will be joyful and others will be embarrassed. Some will receive rewards and others will feel regret.

The ancient Greeks exalted the human intellect and believed the meaning of life could be obtained through human reasoning. But their higher education and endless philosophical debates did not bring them one iota closer to God. Paul dismissed the wisdom of this age for a greater wisdom, the wisdom of God! The “natural man” does not receive this wisdom, but the “spiritual man” does, even to the point of having the mind of Christ! Join us this Sunday! Communion to follow!

The ancient Greeks put a high value on the quest for wisdom. They exalted the human intellect and believed wisdom could be obtained through human reasoning and philosophical debate. When Christianity began to spread in the first century, most Greeks scoffed at the message of Jesus and the cross. They prided themselves in how intelligent they were, but in God’s eyes they were fools! True wisdom has nothing to do with the human intellect. True wisdom comes from God!

The Corinthian Church had a big problem! This problem was so toxic; it was destroying the church from within and hurting their witness without. The problem was a lack of unity! During the Last Supper, Jesus told His disciples, “By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” How can we experience a unity so profound that it strengthens the church from within and expands our witness without? Come discover more this Sunday!

During the 1st century, the city of Corinth was a booming metropolis. Located about 50 miles west of Athens, it was not only a center of wealth; it was also a center of entertainment. The city was famous for its wild party life and its citizens indulged in every form of immoral pleasure imaginable. Corinth was a mess! But right in the middle of that mess, Paul planted a church, because he knew that Corinth was a city that needed a Savior! Join us next Sunday as we kick off a brand new study in 1 Corinthians and invite a friend!

Why do we love Jesus so much? Why are we so drawn to Him? One of the reasons is because He was a “giver”, not a “taker”! We’re drawn to Christ because He was selfless, not selfish; because He was altruistic, not narcissistic; because He came to give, not take. As believers, we’re called to follow in Christ’s footsteps!
