REALLIFE Spokane

In 1 Corinthians 14, Paul calls the church to use our spiritual gifts not for ourselves, but to encourage, strengthen, and build one another up in love. True spiritual maturity means making church less about what we receive and more about how God can use us to serve others.

Through 1 Corinthians 13, we are reminded that love is not another item on our spiritual performance checklist. Love is the way of Jesus, and as we fix our eyes on Him and allow Him to transform us, we become people who genuinely love others.

When life feels overwhelming, where do we find hope? Through Lamentations 3, we are reminded that we can bring our grief honestly to God, fix our eyes on His faithfulness, and wait on His presence, knowing that His mercies are new every morning and we are not consumed by our circumstances.

As Spokane faces devastating wildfires, we gather to worship, seek the presence of Jesus, and pray for our city. Together we ask for His peace, protection, comfort, and strength, trusting that He is near to the brokenhearted and faithful in every storm.

Through 1 Corinthians 10, we discover that following Jesus is about more than religious moments. As Christ transforms our hearts, we are called to live every part of our lives for His glory and for the good of others.

Through 1 Corinthians 9, Dr. Jerry Sittser reminds us that true freedom is not about claiming our rights, but serving others for the sake of the gospel. Because we are secure in Christ, we are free to lay down our preferences and point people to Jesus.

Biblical knowledge is valuable, but if it doesn't make us more like Jesus, we've missed the point. Learn how the gospel transforms not just what we know, but who we become through humility, love, and laying down our life for others.

God doesn't need to change your circumstances before He can work through you. Learn why He has you where you are, how to find contentment in every season, and how He can bring life to what's been broken.

We're reminded that our past does not define us because we have been washed, sanctified, and justified through Jesus Christ. In 1 Corinthians Paul calls believers to live from their new identity in Christ and honor God with their bodies, relationships, and choices.

God's response to sin is never rooted in condemnation, but in restoration. In 1 Corinthians, Paul challenges believers to lovingly address sin, pursue holiness, and help one another walk in the freedom found in Christ.
