We'll look at Matthew 5:13-16 and see what Jesus says about the identity, mission, and cost of being his disciples today.

In this sermon we will unpack Paul's call for the women in Corinth to wear head coverings as they prayed and prophesied in the church gathering. We'll unpack what was behind that call and what it means for us today.

As we consider Paul's challenge to the Corinthian church to imitate him as he imitates Chris, we ask ourselves, "Who do I imitate?" and "Who is imitating me?".

This week we will examine three principles that govern our freedom in Christ, and discuss how we live out Paul's command to 'glorify God in everything we do'.

The first part of 1 Corinthians 10 the Apostle Paul makes a big observation that could lead to catastrophe if not addressed. Today's text is the prescription and the motivation to make the changes.

After helping the Corinthians understand the priority of love over knowledge, Paul now moves to use his own life as an example of laying down our rights. In this sermon we'll see three ways the gospel of Jesus transforms our lives: drudgery to joy, stewardship to reward, and self-interest to love.

Why is love at the centre of life in Jesus' Kingdom? And how can we, as a church, embody His love for the world the way He embodied His love for us?

The heading in your Bible might make you think we are going to be talking about 'food offered to idols' though we will talk about that we will see that this text uses 'food offered to idols' as a springboard to talk about today's sensitive issues while at the same time providing perspective, hope and a solution.

The role that single people are invited to play in Jesus' Kingdom signals a shift in how we experience God's favour, live out our purpose, and respond to divine love.
