Our worship, our prayer, and our church should be real… and our challenge as people inside the church community is to let our guards down and allow God’s truth in regardless of how challenging or uncomfortable that can be.

Each of us has a gift from God that we are to be using so that we can help others, whether that’s physically, emotionally, or spiritually. But where does your gift fit?

Paul is driving home this idea that you words don’t matter as much as your actions. Sure, you can tell everyone what an amazing Christian you are, but in the end your actions and how you live is what really matters.

When you face temptation, God knows you can handle it, and you can handle it…but…it doesn’t mean that we don’t have things to do in the process to protect ourselves from our sinful cravings and temptations.

In Christ, we have freedom. There are a few topics that the Bible doesn't address; we call these grey areas. But what happens when our freedom comes before love of others?

Do you believe there is a connection between your relationship with God and how you view sex?

Dealing with sin isn’t fun. It’s like grabbing a porcupine with no gloves. Nobody wants to do it. But the reason we do it is because we love the person.

Paul is WITH them in the mess to lead them by how he is living out of that mess to Jesus! This is where so many Christians struggle, because they aren’t holding onto their own redemption story… they lose sight of the fact that we are all sinners!

When you help others experience grace, that’s when God will empower you. What would you do with your free gift?

In chapter 3 of 1 Corinthians, Paul addresses those Christians who's lives don't look much different than the world around them, and we can all relate to living a Christian life sometimes. Are you giving your best for God?
