Sermons

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Servants and Stewards" from 1 Corinthians 4:1-5.  In our study of 1 Corinthians, we've seen that there have been weird loyalties in the church to leaders like Paul, Apollos, and Peter.  Certainly not helpful to the unity of God's people, then or now!   As he closes out this first section of the letter, Paul shows us what leaders in the church are to be: servants of Christ and stewards of God.  But then, doesn't that sound like the role for all Christians?

Pastor Andy brings the message, “Take Care How You Build” from 1 Corinthians 3:10-23.  Not all buildings are of the same quality, even though they may be complete. What matters is the material used in construction. Paul uses this metaphor to warn and encourage us as we build the Church for God's glory and with God's resources. 

Pastor Nate brings the message, “Time to Grow Up” from 1 Corinthians 3:1-9.  You've seen the toddler who has to have it his way.  That little guy can disrupt a room full of people. In the church, Christians can act like toddlers and it can cause all kinds of division.  In this first section of 1 Corinthians (chapters 1-4), God's Word continues to lead us away from our sinfulness in order to find unity in Christ.

Pastor Nate brings the message, “Confidence in God, Not Ourselves” from 1 Corinthians 2.  What role would you be playing if God did push a true, Christ-exalting, gospel-centered revival into the hearts of people?  Providentially, we arrive at 1 Corinthians 2 this Sunday where the Bible gives us a sound confidence that God uses His methods, not the world's, to ultimately carry out the work.    

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Believing What is Foolish” from 1 Corinthians 1:18-31.The message of the Gospel will always be rejected by some as utter nonsense and foolishness.  Yet, God has seen fit to show His wisdom through the cross and bring people from all over the world to Himself.  Because the gospel is the power of God unto salvation, we will keep the foolishness of the gospel at the center and boast, not in ourselves, but in Him.   

Pastor Nate brings the message, "Gospel Unity for a Divided Church” from 1 Corinthians 1:10-17.  Could members of a church ever divide over favorite leadership personalities?  In Corinth well-known leaders like Paul, Apollos, and Peter were becoming icons of loyalty, and Paul wasn't having any of it.  This first section of 1 Corinthians is instructive for Christians concerning the essential center for unity in the church.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "God’s Kindness for Imperfect People” from 1 Corinthians 1:1-9.  This week we begin a new sermon series in 1 Corinthians.  You can familiarize yourself with the book by reading summary notes from a study Bible; reading the book itself, or even skimming the chapters and their subtitles.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "The Practice of Church Discipline” from Matthew 16:13-9; 18:15-20.  Just the mention of church discipline can leave Christians feeling uneasy, more than likely because it has been done poorly in so many different contexts.  Yet, the practice itself is a responsibility that Jesus has given to His church.  So, on Sunday, we will look at this important Biblical practice with humility and aim to grow in obeying our King.  

Pastor Stephen brings the message, "Why Church Membership Matters.” Is church membership a modern practice, or a Biblical one? Is it more like being a family member, or a Costco member? Many of us have questions about just how essential this practice is. Many of us may question what it is. This Sunday, we'll look at what Scripture has to say about the believers responsibility to the local church.

Pastor Nate brings the message, "The Practice of Giving."  For the next three weeks we will turn to the Bible to look at healthy practices for a local church.  This week we are looking at the practice of giving; next week is the practice of membership and serving.  The last week we will cover the practice of Biblical discipline. Ask God to use this series in your own life and for His glory in the church.
