Unity in the body of Christ:

1 Corinthians 1:10–31

In part two of The Already But Not Yet, Pastor Kevin traces the historical thread of salvation as it expands from Israel to encompass all people. He highlights that righteousness is a gift received through faith in Jesus, which was God’s plan all along!

Happy Father’s Day! Join us as we study God’s word, honor fathers, and enjoy a special Father’s Day treat.

In Romans 4, Paul untangles a crucial question: What actually makes us right with God? Looking closely at the relationship between God, Israel, and the meaning of righteousness, we discover that justification isn't earned by our behavior. Instead, Paul masterfully shows that true righteousness comes down to one thing—placing our faith in the right object.

Passage: Romans 4:7-17

The word “faith” is often misused and there are many dimensions of real faith. It’s important for Christians to understand faith biblically and not just use the word as it is commonly used outside of a biblical context.

The apostle Paul is trying to get the Jews attention regarding their relationship with God. Many Jews thought it was from their heritage and their keeping the LAW that they had this relationship. Paul is telling them it is from Jesus. So how does this apply to us who may not be Jews and we have not memorized the Law?

What is the point of the law if it just makes people rigid? We’ve all met someone who knows the rules inside and out, yet seems entirely hardened by them. But God wants something better for us: a heart of flesh, soft and responsive to His Spirit. This Sunday, we’ll explore how we can grow in our understanding of God’s truth without losing our tenderness. Join us as we look at how the Spirit transforms the law from a burden into a blessing.

Is judgment always a bad thing, or is it a necessary tool for a healthy community? We often struggle to reconcile the "judge not" verses with the call to "judge righteously." This Sunday, we’re looking at the heart behind these scriptures to find a path forward. Come learn how to navigate the complexities of judgment in a way that honors God as we live out our call to love our neighbor.

God is not a cosmic tyrant who forces His will onto people. He is patient with all people desiring everyone to receive the blessings of His love (2 Peter 3:9). But what happens when someone does not want to receive his love? This Sunday, we’re exploring the biblical reality of a God who honors our freedom—even when it hurts Him.
