February 15, 2022 God's Design for Your Sexuality - 1 Corinthians 7:1-9 | Pastor Andrey Bulanov
Main idea:
Our sexuality is a gift, to be stewarded as a gift in every season of life - guarded for its proper expression of deep mutual giving of husband and wife in marriage.
Outline:
1. Both legalism and license are a distortion of God's plan sexual fulfillment
2. Mutual selfless giving is at the heart of the marriage relationship
◦ You cannot belong physically to one another without belonging spiritually and emotionally
◦ Mutual giving means both spouses seek the pleasure and joy of the other
◦ The emphasis of healthy sexual intimacy is not on taking but on giving
◦ It is wrong to use this text to blame wives for their husbands lust problems
3. Every season of life is a gift of God to be embraced
Application:
• What is your view of sex and sexual desire? Do you see it as something dirty to be avoided?
• Do you see marriage as a deep physical and emotional belonging?
• Do you see healthy sexual intimacy as inseparable from healthy spiritual and emotional connection?
• Are you committed to seeking your spouses sexual satisfaction?
• Is your marriage a space where you feel free to discuss the complexities of sexual intimacy and making your needs known to one another?
• Is sex an area that you primarily give or take?
• Do you seek to understand your spouses needs? Do you take time to listen and understand them?
• Do you see your season of life, with all its challenges - as a gift to be stewarded?
Scripture References:

February 01, 2022 Put an End to Conflict - 1 Corinthians | Pastor Vitaliy Kunda
1 Corinthians 6:1-11
Main idea: the church will face conflicts - these conflicts should not be taken to the civil courts for
resolution, instead they should be dealt with from within the church in order to have reconciliation
between Christians. The church has to uphold its new values of fellowship in unity and peace.
1. Conflict is a “human” thing
James 4:1
“What is the source of wars and fights among you? Don’t they come from your passions that wage war
within you? You desire and do not have.”
2. Two ways to resolve conflicts
Secular courts vs. church
1 Cor 6:5-6
“I say this to your shame! Can it be that there is not one wise person among you who is able to arbitrate
between fellow believers? Instead, brother goes to court against brother, and that before unbelievers!”
3. The proper use of secular courts
Rom 13:1-4
“Let everyone submit to the governing authorities, since there is no authority except from God, and the
authorities that exist are instituted by God. So then, the one who resists the authority is opposing God’s
command, and those who oppose it will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers are not a terror to
good conduct, but to bad. Do you want to be unafraid of the one in authority? Do what is good, and you
will have its approval. For it is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, because it
does not carry the sword for no reason. For it is God’s servant, an avenger that brings wrath on the one
who does wrong.”
4. Christians are called into new fellowship
‘koinonia’– holly, covenantal fellowship with Gods and each other.
Acts 2:42
“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread,
and to prayer.”
1 John 1:3
“what we have seen and heard we also declare to you, so that you may also have fellowship
with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.”
“ don’t you know that the saints will judge the world?
Don’t you know that we will judge angels?
Do not be deceived: No sexually immoral people, idolaters, adulterers, or males who have sex
with males, no thieves, greedy people, drunkards, verbally abusive people, or swindlers will
inherit God’s kingdom. And some of you used to be like this. But you were washed, you were
sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.”
1 Corinthians‬
Application:
• How do you solve your conflicts? Do you fight, flight or reconcile?
• Have you ever been in conflict with another believer?
• What do you find most difficult in conflict resolution?
• Was your conflict resolved in restored fellowship? If not what went wrong?
• Have you ever had a good experience with church conflicts resolution?
• Why is it wrong for Christians to take their disputes to civil court?
• What is this new kainonia fellowship for Christians?
• What do you think we should work on to experience full potential in this new fellowship?
• What do you value the most in this Christian fellowship?

January 25, 2022 FIghting Sin With the Victory of Jesus - 1 Corinthians | Pastor Andrey Bulanov
Main Idea:
A church that is rooted in the victory of Jesus over sin is a church that takes sin very seriously and lives in a way that promotes openness, purity and shines the light of Jesus in a dark world.
Outline:
1. Pride and self centeredness makes us blind to the darkness and danger of sin
i. Judgmental superiority
ii. Desensitization to sin
2. Every church member carries the responsibility to respond to sin in their own life, and the lives of the christians around them.
3. The blood of Jesus for our sins makes us completely new and gives us power to have victory over sin.
Application:
• Are you quick to point to the sin of others while being blind to your own deep brokenness?
• Are you becoming desensitized to sin? What is your relationship to entertainment? Money? Lust? Alcohol? Pride?
○ Take time and identify the main sources of sin and temptation in your life.
• Do you see the profound danger of sin in your life and the lives of others?
○ Husbands - do you ignore sin in your homes? In your lives?
○ Do you understand that there is really nothing private? Your secret sin will eventually eat away at the lives of those around you?
○ Do you avoid difficult conversations or questions even though you know theres something wrong in the life of a fellow christian?
○ Practice confession of sin in your life. Bring your struggles to God, seek restoration.
○ Don't assume about the struggles of those around you. If you there think there is something wrong, ask and seek out the truth.
○ Respect the practice of church discipline. Pray for people who are on church discipline. Pray for people in sin. Pray for people who have been put out of the church.
• Does the sacrifice of Jesus compel you to new life?
Scripture references:
• 1 Corinthians 5:1-13
• 1 Timothy 1:19-20
• Exodus 12:14-24
Key concepts:
• fighting sin
• church discipline
• purity
• passover and atonement
