This sermon looks at the theme of Joy and how the Advent of the Messiah brings joy with it. Ultimately, true joy comes when you seek God first.

This sermon looks at the act of thanksgiving, and why we are instructed to be thankful to God. In salvation, we have not just received a new teaching, we have received Christ.

This sermon looks at Paul's teachings on the flesh and the spirit. We need to understand that there is no separation between the two, and that what we do in and to the body impacts the entirety of our being. Jesus' sacrifice saves us body, soul, and spirit. Which means that the Holy Spirit sanctifies our flesh as well as our spirit. As such, we were purchased for a price, and we were purchased for a purpose: to glorify God in both our spirit and our body.

This sermon looks at Paul's teaching about unity and the need to use the wisdom God provides in order to settle disputes in church. Because we have been washed and sanctified and justified, we have been equipped with what we need to resolve any problems that might arise in the fellowship. The key is to look to the wisdom of God instead of the wisdom of the world, and to approach all interactions with the principle of love.

This sermon looks at sin and holiness, how the church cannot tolerate unrepentant sin in the fellowship. As such, discipline in the church is sometimes necessary. This discipline is not punitive, but is meant to bring about repentance in the individual. Ultimately, all Christians are commanded to practice discipline first and foremost on themselves, so that the corrosive effects of sin and evil will not be present in their lives or in the life of the church.

This sermon looks at Paul's instruction and warning to the Corinthian church about their arrogance. He instructs them to return to the ways of Christ through looking at and following his faithful example. Being a follower of Christ will, at times, require you to endure suffering and persecution. If you seek to avoid it, however, you will face the admonishment and discipline of the Lord, which is for your holiness. Paul's heart is that all churches, all Christians, will live the godly lives to which they are called. More information about our church and beliefs is available at www.toutle.org
