Cambria Pulpit

What is our victory as Christians? In 1 Corinthians 15:50-58, we're reminded that our victory comes through Jesus Christ when He returns. Sin and death will be destroyed, and we will be victorious. 

Do our bodies matter? Are they important to the resurrection? In 1 Corinthians 15:35-49, we learn that our bodies are essential to the resurrection. Because Christ is risen, we will rise from the dead with imperishable bodies. 

Death is an inescapable fact of life. So what is the solution for our problem with death? In 1 Corinthians 15:12-34, we learn that the resurrection is the answer. The resurrection is essential to everything we believe. Listen to the sermon here:

Should the church have an order of service? Does liturgy matter? These important questions are answered in 1 Corinthians 14:29-40. The worship service must be arranged to demonstrate decency and order. 

Why should we believe the Gospel? In 1 Corinthians 15:1-11, Paul answers this question by defending the genuineness of the Gospel. We can believe the Gospel simply because it is true. Learn more in the sermon- "The True Gospel":

What is the purpose of the gift of tongues? As we move through 1 Corinthians, Paul addresses this prominent question in chapter 14. We learn that God's Word is superior and should always be our focus.

Why don't we speak in tongues today? As we move through 1 Corinthians, this question is vital in chapter 14. Paul teaches us that speaking God's Word is superior and should always be the focus of the church.

What is love? Our world is obsessed with this word, yet there is a lot of misunderstanding around it. Even Christians fail to understand what true love is. In 1 Corinthians 13, we learn what biblical love is and why it's supreme. 

Our world is divided over many issues. From politics to ethics, gender to economics, we are split on every front. But what about the church? How can the church have unity in a divided world? 1 Corinthians 12 has the answer. 

Have you ever felt you have no gifts or abilities to serve? Does it feel like everyone else in the church has a job except you? The truth is you're not alone. But 1 Corinthians 12 teaches us that God has graciously gifted you to serve His church. 

What is the Lord's Supper, and why is it important? Sadly, there's a lot of confusion around this vital element of the church. In 1 Corinthians 11, Paul teaches us about this celebration and reminds us of its importance to our worship and growth. 

"What about head coverings?" This question probably isn't one we would ask the Apostle Paul. However, this was a serious issue in the Corinthian church. So, how do we handle difficult questions and passages like these? Listen to this week's sermon to find out: (Due to technical difficulties, the sound quality is low.)

Life is not about you. This phrase completely contradicts our culture's thinking because we're taught that life is all about me. But the Bible teaches that life is all about God. So, we should use our lives to serve Him.

Our hearts produce idols that we unwittingly worship. Yet, this idolatry is a grave offense against God. Through this idolatry, Satan seeks to destroy us through distraction, taking our attention away from God. Pastor Dave challenges us to flee idolatry and find our satisfaction in Christ, 

Are you exhausted from the daily struggle with sin? Are you tempted to give up and give in? In 1 Corinthians 10:1-13, Paul challenges us to endure in our battle with sin. Listen to the sermon- "Faithful God, Unfaithful People":

What are you willing to sacrifice for the sake of the Gospel? Too often, we care more about our desires and goals than the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In 1 Corinthians 9, we learn that we need to be willing to give up our rights for the sake of the Gospel.

What is the church's responsibility for the pastor? Is it right for pastors to get paid by the church? This week we examined what Paul said about this topic in 1 Corinthians 9

Disagreement is a regular part of life. Even Christians have to deal with disagreement. How can we remain unified despite our differences? In 1 Corinthians 8, Paul answers this vital question. 

Do you think about eternity? If we're honest, most of us don't think about eternity enough. We get so focused on this life that we forget what's coming. Sadly, this negatively impacts our relationships. 1 Corinthians 7:25-40 addresses this issue. 

What will it take for you to be happy? Will more money, a better job, or an easier schedule satisfy you? True happiness is only discovered when we learn to be content with God's plan. Only Christ can give us true contentment in life. Learn more in this week's sermon: www.cambriabaptist.org/sermons-2/

In a world that does not value marriage, it is important for Christians to ask what the Bible says about divorce and the permanence of marriage.  Once again, Pastor Dave encourages us to be faithful to our spouse.

Yesterday, we celebrated the gift of fatherhood. But the truth is, to be a good father, you must first be a good husband. Sadly, our culture doesn't value marriage or fidelity. 1 Corinthians 7 teaches us why we must be faithful to our spouse. 

We live in a sex-crazed culture. Society has no concern for biblical morality. However, this isn't a new problem. The church in Corinth faced the same issues. In 1 Corinthians 6:12-20, Paul informs us what it means to hold to a biblical sexual ethic. 

"What's wrong with that?" Although this is a common question, it's insufficient for a Christian to make good decisions. In 1 Corinthians 6, Paul teaches us an important principle- just because you can doesn't mean you should. 

Because of sin in the church, we face conflict. However, church members should be able to resolve trivial disputes for the sake of the Gospel. In 1 Corinthians 6, we learn why we shouldn't take fellow believers to court.
