This is precisely Paul's criteria for when believers meet together for public worship.

Speaker: Eddie Williams

Scripture: 1 Timothy 4:11-16.

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12.

Sermon Main Idea: Paul offers the following response in our passage:

"God gives spiritual gifts to build up His body and display His glory."

Throughout this chapter, Paul reminds the Corinthians—and us—that spiritual gifts are not about personal greatness but about Christ's greatness.

As we look at this passage, we will discover two important truths:

Sermon Outline:

I. Diversity, Not Superiority, in Spiritual Gifts (vv. 1–11)

II. Unity, Not Uniformity, in Christ's Body (vv.12-31a)

Speaker: Eddie Williams

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 11:17-34

Sermon Main Idea: “We come together to live out the truth of the gospel with one another.”

In 1 Corinthians 11:17–34, Paul confronts the believers about their behavior during the Lord’s Supper. Instead of reflecting the gospel, their gatherings were contradicting it.

Sermon Outline:

I. BE THOUGHTFUL TO OTHERS (vv.17-22)

II. BE THANKFUL TO THE LORD (vv.23-26)

III. BE TRUTHFUL TO YOURSELF (vv.27-34)

Speaker: Eddie Williams

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10-11:1

Sermon Main Idea: "True freedom in Christ seeks to please God and uplift others."

Or to say it another way:

II. DON’T PARTICIPATE IN DEMONIC ACTIVITIES (vv.14-22). 

III. DON’T PURSUE YOUR OWN INTEREST (vv.23-11:1).

SPEAKER: Eddie Williams

SCRIPTURE: 1 Corinthians 9.

MAIN IDEA: “Our responsibility to the gospel must take priority over personal gain.”

Or simply:

In other words, 

“The gospel isn’t a tool for personal gain; it’s a gift we pass on.”

We don’t serve the Lord for what we can get, but to share the Good News we have received.
