In 1 Corinthians 16, Paul shows that a healthy, enduring church must practice generous giving, support and honor its leaders, and do everything in love. This message unpacks the “why, who, how, and what” of biblical generosity and explores how churches can cultivate a culture that refreshes both their leaders and their community.

In 1 Corinthians 15:50–58 we see how Christ’s resurrection guarantees believers imperishable bodies, victory over death, and a glorious eternal future with God. This sure hope empowers us to face grief honestly and to live steadfast, sacrificial lives that are never in vain in the Lord.

In this sermon on 1 Corinthians 15:35–49, we explore how the resurrection of Jesus guarantees believers a real, physical, glorified body designed for eternity in God’s presence. He shows how this hope sustains us through suffering, reframes our view of death, and anchors our lives in the imperishable promises of the gospel.

In 1 Corinthians 12, Paul shows how the Holy Spirit gives a wide variety of gifts to every believer, not for status but for the common good and the building up of the church. This sermon unpacks the unity and diversity of the body of Christ, calling each of us to discover and faithfully use our God-given gifts in love.

This message from 1 Corinthians 15:12-34 explores why the resurrection of Jesus is the singular hope that gives meaning to life, answers our deepest questions, and secures our eternal future. We look at how, if Christ is truly risen, then every sacrifice, every moment of faith, and even our suffering have purpose in God’s redemptive plan.

In this message from 1 Corinthians 15:1–11, we explore how the church at Corinth drifted from what is “of first importance” and how easily we too can forget the centrality of the gospel in our lives. Through Paul’s teaching and his own transformation story, we’re reminded that the same grace that saves us is the grace that continues to change us from the inside out.

Paul addresses the Corinthian church's chaotic worship services, providing guidelines for orderly gatherings. He emphasizes that spiritual gifts—particularly tongues and prophecy—should be exercised in ways that build up the body of Christ, not draw attention to individuals. The sermon explores how proper order in worship reflects God's nature and makes the gospel clear to both believers and unbelievers.
