In a culture obsessed with defending our rights, what if real spiritual power is found in giving them up? Walking through 1 Corinthians 9, Pastor Marek shows how Paul voluntarily lays down legitimate rights—not because he’s weak, but because his strength is under control for the sake of the gospel. This message presses us to ask which “rights” we’re clinging to—being angry, being right, guarding our time—that may be sabotaging our witness. Discover how surrendering these rights can actually deepen your freedom, reshape your relationships, and help others see Jesus more clearly through your life.

In week 8 of “Keeping Up with the Corinthians,” Lead Pastor Bartley Sawatsky unpacks 1 Corinthians 8 and the surprisingly practical issue of food offered to idols. He shows how Paul shifts the focus from being “right” in our knowledge to being loving in how we use our freedoms. From halal meat and alcohol to yoga, Halloween, and social media, Bartley explores modern grey areas where our choices can either build others up or cause them to stumble. In a culture full of spiritual landmines, this message calls us to gladly lay down our rights for the sake of weaker brothers and sisters—and for the honour of Christ.

This week, Pastor Bartley continues our series, Keeping Up with the Corinthians, by unpacking why Christians make such a big deal about sex and how God’s design for sexuality impacts every part of our lives. Walking through 1 Corinthians 7, he explores practical principles for marriage, singleness, divorce, and sexual intimacy that call us to honor God with our bodies and relationships.

In a culture that fiercely defends the maxim "my body, my choice," Pastor Bartley Sawatsky offers a radical, counter-cultural reality check: You are not your own. If you are a follower of Jesus, your body is a temple bought with the highest price imaginable.

In this message, we dive into 1 Corinthians 6 to see how this one truth changes everything—from how we handle legal disputes to how we view our private lives.

Is church discipline an act of love—or just legalism in disguise? In 1 Corinthians 5, Paul tells the church to remove a man involved in shocking sexual sin, and even to “deliver this man to Satan.” What do we do with that today, in a culture that hates the idea of judging anyone—especially inside the church? In this message, we’ll wrestle with when discipline is necessary, how it protects the whole church, and why God takes our sin more seriously than we often do.

Pastor Bartley continues The Crimson Thread Easter series by tracing powerful resurrection foreshadows woven through the Old Testament—from Noah’s ark and Isaac on the altar to Joseph’s pit, the Red Sea, the bronze serpent, and Jonah in the fish. He shows how each of these “death-to-life” stories points ahead to Jesus’ resurrection as the core of God’s single plan to redeem creation. The message culminates in John 20 and the empty tomb, highlighting Christ’s resurrection as both historical reality and the guarantee of our own future resurrection. Listeners are invited to move beyond merely acknowledging the cross and instead look to Jesus in personal faith, entering into the hope and new life his resurrection secures.

Pastor Bartley Sawatsky traces a “crimson thread” of blood-red imagery and foreshadowing across the Old Testament that points to Jesus’ sacrificial death. From Jacob and Esau to Tamar’s twins, from the Passover lamb to Palm Sunday, he shows how God repeatedly “flips the script” by choosing the lowly and the unexpected to accomplish salvation. The message highlights how Jesus, the humble king riding on a donkey, is also the perfect Passover Lamb selected for sacrifice on our behalf. In seeing this poetic, prophetic coherence, we’re invited to trust God’s control of history and personally embrace Christ’s saving work.

In week four of the series Keeping Up With the Corinthians, Elder Darcy MacCallum dives into 1 Corinthians 4 to challenge the modern temptation of settling for quick, entertaining TED Talk or TikTok Christianity. While we often seek easy shortcuts to faith, this message reminds us that true spiritual formation takes time, deep intentionality, and a commitment to the way of the cross rather than worldly measures of success. By examining the Apostle Paul's urgent plea to the Corinthian church, we are invited to abandon shallow learning and instead seek trusted spiritual guides who can help us walk faithfully in a Spirit-led community.

In this message from 1 Corinthians 3, Pastor Bartley unpacks why some believers stay “spiritually dim” and how we can grow from infants in Christ to mature disciples who can handle the “solid food” of God’s Word. He challenges our tendency to idolize church leaders and reminds us that we are all merely servants in God’s field and building. We’ll see that Christ alone is the foundation of the church, that our work will be tested by fire, and that what we build on Him must endure in an increasingly hostile culture. Ultimately, the question is not what or who you identify with, but whether your life is truly built on belonging to Christ.
