God’s people are to be set apart. Though we will sometimes fail, those who persist in sin need to be warned and, if unwilling to repent, be separated from the church. While this is never easy, the church needs to be ready to respond to such cases to keep the sin from spreading. Series: Undivided. Speaker: Josh Lindstrom. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 5:1-13.

Some in the church in Corinth were looking down on the apostle Paul. This, however, was no concern for him as he sought only to “be found faithful” before God. We too need remember that though people may disregard us for our belief, we serve an audience of one who will one day disclose the purposes of every heart. Series: Undivided. Speaker: Josh Lindstrom. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 4:1-21.

Ultimately, God uses his people to accomplish his purposes. It is foolish to elevate one above another. Instead, we should seek to participate in his work in whatever way he calls us to it, confident that work done for him will last and be rewarded on the final day. Series: Undivided. Speaker: Josh Lindstrom. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:1-23.

While we seek to be winsome and engaging with the world around us, we need remember that the wisdom he gives is not of the world and will not be understood by those who do not know him unless revealed to them by the Spirit. We need grow comfortable that we will, at times, appear very foolish before an unbelieving world. Series: Undivided. Speaker: Josh Lindstrom. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2:6-16.

This service was a special outdoor baptism service with close friends and family of those getting baptized attending. The sermon is focused on baptism and the testimony and declaration of faith God calls us to in being obedient to Jesus' example. Series: Undivided. Speaker: Josh Lindstrom.

When the church in Corinth was being divided into factions, the apostle Paul did not try to rally people to himself with a superior style or intellect, but instead chose to preach Christ crucified in the power of the Spirit so their faith “might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.” Series: Undivided. Speaker: Josh Lindstrom. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:18-2:5.

Much like the church in Corinth, many followers of Christ are divided today, especially as it relates to our response to the Coronavirus. We need remember that in him we are to be united in the same mind and judgement, seeking the proclamation of the gospel above all. Series: Undivided. Speaker: Josh Lindstrom. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:10-17.

In these uncertain and changing times the reality of our faith comes to bear upon our lives in a powerful way. Regardless of what may come, we rest in his sustaining grace, confident that he will sustain us to the end and present us guiltless upon his return. Series: Undivided. Speaker: Josh Lindstrom. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:1-9.

It is far too easy to compartmentalize our faith, and in doing so see it become a segment of our lives. For those in the early church, they were committed to God consistently day by day, and as a result, God added to their numbers daily. We too should have confidence that, as we walk daily in faith, God will use us to see lives changed through Christ. Series: Essential. Speaker: Josh Lindstrom. Scripture: Acts 2:46-47.
