MOOR of the Word with Pastor Chuck Pourciau

You are God’s house. Yes, you. In 1 Corinthians 3, Paul describes the church as the temple of God—His dwelling place. That has powerful implications for how we live, how we relate to one another, and how we protect the unity of the church. This message is a challenge to personal responsibility, spiritual upkeep, and the divine purpose of the local church.

Do you have to choose between faith and science? Psalm 102 shows otherwise. The Bible and the natural world both point to the same Creator. From the second law of thermodynamics to moral law and the resurrection of Christ, discover how scientific observation confirms biblical truth. You don’t have to set your brain aside to believe—the evidence points to the God of Scripture.

In a world where personal holiness often takes a back seat, Psalm 101 calls us to something higher. David’s "I wills" give us a roadmap to Christian integrity. This message challenges us to pursue wisdom, guard our hearts and minds, prioritize our homes, and take our spiritual example seriously. True integrity begins at home and is marked by consistent, God-honoring decisions—public and private.

Why do you exist? What is your ultimate purpose? Psalm 100 helps us understand that worship is not just a Sunday event or a musical genre—it is the very reason we were created. Discover the joyful, humble, and thankful posture of true worship. If worship feels dry or disconnected, perhaps what’s needed is not a change in style—but a change in attitude.

Unity isn’t uniformity—it’s Christlike humility. In Romans 15, Paul calls us to bear with one another, to sacrifice preferences, and to glorify God with one voice. Want to be a unifier in your church? Start by thinking less of self and more of Christ.

Psalm 90 reminds us how short life is—and how eternal God is. In a world obsessed with what’s temporary, we’re invited to make the most of every day by living for what truly matters. Learn to count your days so you can make every day count.

Romans 13 says we should owe nothing—except love. Unlike financial debt, our obligation to love others is one we never fully repay. It’s daily, costly, and powerful. And when lived out, it fulfills the law and displays the gospel.

Salvation doesn’t stop at belief—it begins a lifelong journey of transformation. Romans 12 calls us to present our lives as living sacrifices, growing in Christ through sanctification. You’re not just forgiven—you’re being remade.

What does Paul mean when he says, “All Israel will be saved”? In Romans 11, we confront a divine mystery—one that reveals God's mercy, timing, and plan for both Jew and Gentile. Salvation is not by heritage, law, or merit—but by grace, through faith in Christ.

The Jews had zeal without truth, trying to earn salvation through their own righteousness. But righteousness doesn’t come by works—it comes by faith. Choose the only righteousness that lasts: the one given through Jesus Christ.
