Is it Ok to allow someone else to win, even if they cheat to do so?

Is it Ok to let someone take something from us that does not belong to them?

What if that person is a fellow believer? Shouldn’t they be brought to justice?

Maybe not! Let’s think about this today as we consider another difficult situation in the Corinthian church.

Text: 1 Corinthians 6:1-8

Speaker: John Dubois

Text: 1 Corinthians 5

Since Jesus forgives all of our sins, even the ones that we will commit in the future, why should we take sin so seriously?

Is it really a big deal?

What about God’s grace? Doesn’t grace cover everything?

Text: Jeremiah 3:1-4:4

Series: Jeremiah - The Exchange

Outline: (1) God's love is radical (2) Because of his live, he calls us to repent (3) When we repent, he saves and he restores (4) So repent, not just with words, but with your heart. 

It's crazy to trade God for anything else. 

The people of Jerusalem traded Everything for Nothing, the Living water for broken cisterns,  sonship for slavery, salvation for destruction, and their faithful husband for faithless lovers. In short, they traded the glorious presence of God for worthless idols. 

Have we made the same exchange? Is there a remedy? 

Text: Jeremiah 2:1-3:5

We live in a time when everyone has a voice and every idea is regarded as equally valid and worthwhile.

But, is that true?

Paul’s words are weightier than others (or even ours), not because he is a better person (even though he might be), but because of who he is speaking for, as an apostle.

Does pride really come before a fall? According to Obadiah it does.  

It is somewhat ironic that the smallest book in the Old Testament deals with a nation that had one of the biggest egos. Edom’s pride and arrogance, especially against Israel, was very much unwarranted. And this prophet promises that Edom will not have reason to boast for long.  

But what can Obadiah teach us about our pride today? Let’s find out together.

 What makes us feel important? 

How do we know that we’re doing well in our lives? 

Whose approval really matters? 

Text: 1 Corinthians 4:1-5

Pastor John and Pastor Steve spent some time answer questions about Easter. What are the best arguments for the resurrection? How would you respond to some of the objections? If Jesus's death paid for our sins, why does it matter that Jesus was raised?

In a world often devoid of peace, and full of counterfeit offers, we meet Jesus, the King on a mission of peace. 

He achieves that peace in a surprising way: Through sacrifice. 

How will we respond to this King? Will we suppress Him? Will we fail to see Him? Or will we rejoice that He has come to set all things right? Here's the good news: Jesus will be praised, and we can join in the praise of all creation. 

Text: Luke 19:28-44

Does it matter how we live?

If Jesus forgives all of our sin, and we’re already perfect in Christ (which we are), then what difference does it make how I live my live now?

We know that we love Jesus, and we do want to please him out of our gratitude for what he has done for us. But is there anything more than that?
