Tony Burke | Real faith is what gets us through real life - and real life is messy. The church in Corinth struggled with division, pride, conflict, and confusion, yet Paul never gave up on them. Instead, he called them to walk together in the tension of grace and truth, loving one another the way Jesus did. Is it any different for us today?

Tim DeFor | Love leads us to compassion for others, especially brothers and sisters in Christ in dire situations. But how can I make a real difference? You might be surprised at the timeless practical principles that still work today.

What if the entire Christian faith stands or falls on one bold claim? Paul says that if Christ has not been raised from the dead, then our faith, our preaching, and even our hope are pointless and empty. Why would he risk saying something so extreme? This week we wrestle with why the resurrection is not just a detail of the gospel—but the very thing that makes everything else matter.

Tim DeFor | What is a church gathering supposed be like? In a room full of different voices, gifts, and personalities, things can quickly drift away from the purpose of being together. Maybe you've felt the tension in the room between some those who dominate, distract, or disengage entirely. What could it look like if gathering was about build everyone up?

Tony Burke | We've been trained our whole lives to think we're the point. My happiness. My preferences. My performance. My platform. Why should I be surprised, then, when I even start to make my relationship with Jesus about me, too?

Randall Coffin | Love - This could be one of the most complex words. It has a wide range of meaning and depth. It is used and misused is so many ways. Yet, The Bible is clear. We are called to love. What does the Bible mean? Let's talk about love.

Tim DeFor | What if you affect the health of the whole church family? Could it be that your place in the church family matters? What if we are intentionally together for a greater purpose than any of us could accomplish alone? What if...it's true?

Tim DeFor | What if the way you practice one of most sacred moments in church can actually do harm? Would you want to know? One church gets confronted because what religious on the surface was spiritually damaging at its core. Through his letter to the church in Corinth, Paul challenges us to rediscover the Lord's Supper and realize how it is celebrated can have ripple effects throughout the church, community and into eternity for good and for bad.

Tim DeFor | We are free in Christ, but does that mean we can do whatever we want? Paul's instructions to a chaotic church in Corinth reveal that our personal conduct in public worship speaks volumes to those around us. In limiting or expressing the freedom Christ's love gave us, we may actually be unloving. With such a confusion, how can we lovingly honor others and remove barriers to the work of the gospel?

Tim DeFor | "Love your neighbor." Easy, right? Until it's not. Love in action costs us. None of us has enough to meet every need, so it's true that everyone has to make judgement calls on who to love with what God has given us. When Jesus was asked who we are to love, he completely reframes the question in a way that challenges our comfort.
