From the opening pages of Scripture comes a promise that echoes all the way to the cross. In this Christmas message, The Legend of the Serpent Crusher , we trace Genesis 3 and see how Jesus fulfills God’s ancient promise to defeat humanity’s greatest enemies—sin, death, and Satan. Drawing from Romans 6:6–14, Revelation 1:17–18, and Colossians 2:13–15, this sermon proclaims the hope of the gospel w...

 Hope is born out of promises—and Christmas reminds us that God keeps every one. In this sermon, we explore how Jesus fulfills the ancient prophecy of a “prophet like Moses,” the One who would speak God’s authoritative word to His people. From the anticipation of Deuteronomy 18 to Peter’s proclamation in Acts 3 and Jesus’ own teaching in John’s Gospel, we see that Christ came not with human insigh...

Few passages puzzle modern readers quite like this one. What was Paul really saying about head coverings, men, women, and worship? While the cultural symbols may differ today, the principle beneath them remains timeless: when the church gathers, all glory belongs to God. In this message, we’ll explore: What Paul means by “head” — authority or source? How head coverings in Corinth symbolized a woma...

 What does it really mean to be “free” in Christ? In this sermon from 1 Corinthians 10–11:1, we explore Paul’s warning that Christian liberty is never a license for self-indulgence. Using Israel’s wilderness failures as a sober example, Paul calls believers to anchor their freedom to self-discipline, wholehearted allegiance to Christ, and genuine love for neighbor. This passage challenges us to ex...

Many think that a life of self-denial must be a life without joy. But Paul shows us that the cross-shaped (“cruciform”) life is not a joyless burden—it’s the very path to deeper happiness in Christ. In this message, we’ll see how: Knowledge without love destroys, but love builds up the body of Christ True freedom means laying down personal rights for the good of others and the glory of God A life...

Do you ever find it hard to keep praying? Maybe you’ve lost heart—too busy, too tired, too discouraged to keep bringing your needs before God. Jesus understands that temptation, and in this parable He gives us the antidote: remember who God really is. In this message, we’ll see: Why Jesus calls us to pray and not lose heart What the parable of the persistent widow teaches about perseverance in pra...

In a world obsessed with change—new jobs, new looks, new lifestyles—Paul’s message to the Corinthians feels counter-cultural: “Remain as you are.” God’s providence means that contentment is not found in changing your circumstances, but in trusting His calling for your life. In this message, we’ll see how Paul teaches believers to: Stay content even in seasons of singleness, trusting God’s timing a...

What if the path to true joy isn’t changing your circumstances—but trusting the One who placed you there? In this message from 1 Corinthians 7:17–24, Pastor opens up Paul’s teaching on remaining in the life situation in which God called you. Whether it’s in marriage, singleness, your job, or even hardship, God’s providence is not accidental—it’s intentional and personal. This sermon reminds us tha...

Is singleness a gift or a burden? What about a difficult marriage—or one with an unbelieving spouse? In this powerful and pastoral message from 1 Corinthians 7:7–16, we explore how God’s wisdom applies to every relational calling. Whether you’re single, married, or somewhere in between, God’s Word offers clarity, purpose, and hope. Join us as we reflect on Paul’s encouragement to embrace the life...

The Gift of Intimacy – 1 Corinthians 7:1–6  Is intimacy in marriage merely physical—or is it a spiritual gift? In this sermon from 1 Corinthians 7:1–6, Paul addresses confusion in the Corinthian church around sexuality and marriage, reminding believers that intimacy is both a joy and a responsibility within God’s good design. Far from being taboo or shameful, intimacy is a gift to be freely and jo...

Your Body, God’s Glory — 1 Corinthians 6:12–20 What is your body for? In Corinth, believers treated the body as disposable—meant for pleasure, appetite, and personal use. But Paul corrects their thinking and reminds them that the body has a far higher purpose: it belongs to the Lord. In this message, we’ll see that: Your body is meant for the Lord — not for sin, but for a higher calling and a glor...

This message is a unique, one-off sermon delivered in the wake of the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk. Beyond the tragedy itself, the disturbing national response—where many celebrated his death and even mocked God—exposes the deep moral confusion of our nation. As Isaiah 5:20 warns, our culture increasingly calls evil good and good evil. From this sobering moment, we must ask the question:...

When the Church Must Mourn: The Pain and Purpose of Church Discipline — 1 Corinthians 5:1–13 Few topics are as sobering—or as necessary—as church discipline. In this passage, Paul confronts the Corinthians not only for tolerating unrepentant sin but for failing to grieve it. He reminds us that sin is not a private matter; it wounds the sinner, grieves the church, and offends a holy God. In this me...

Saints Suing Saints — 1 Corinthians 6:1–11 What happens when believers drag each other into court? In Corinth, Christians were taking their disputes before pagan judges, and Paul rebukes them sharply for it. Instead of pursuing reconciliation, they were pursuing victory—at any cost. In this message, we’ll learn: Why Paul distinguishes between civil matters and criminal matters, and why this passag...

God’s Temple — 1 Corinthians 3:16–17 What does it mean that God’s Spirit dwells in us? Paul tells the Corinthians—and us—that we are God’s temple. And just as God’s presence demanded holiness in the Garden, in the Tabernacle, and in the Temple, He demands holiness from His people today. In this message, we’ll see how: God’s Spirit makes us His temple, both individually and as the church The presen...

Audience of One — 1 Corinthians 3:18–4:17 Who are you living for—the applause of people, or the approval of God? The Corinthians longed for prestige, craving wisdom, power, and recognition from the world. But Paul reminds them (and us) that true freedom comes when we stop performing for human approval and live for the verdict of Christ alone. In this message, we’ll see how: Believers already have...

God’s Fellow Workers — 1 Corinthians 3:5–15 God has invited you to join Him in the most important work on earth—making disciples and building His church. In this passage, Paul uses the images of a field and a building to show that disciple-making is God’s design for church growth, and that it requires a servant’s heart, a laborer’s effort, and an eternal perspective. 

Wise God, Not Wise-Guy — 1 Corinthians 1:18–2:5 Every day, we’re faced with a choice: whose voice will we listen to? The wisdom of God, or the wisdom of the world? In Corinth, believers were blending the two—and the result was a church that didn’t look much like Jesus. In this passage, Paul dismantles worldly wisdom and shows why God’s wisdom, revealed in the cross, is the only path worth followin...

The Wisdom of God and the Spirit of God — 1 Corinthians 2:6–3:4 If we want God’s wisdom to shape our lives, decisions, and beliefs, we can’t access it on our own. Paul reminds the Corinthians—and us—that the Spirit of God is essential for both receiving and living out God’s wisdom. In this message, we explore two key ministries of the Spirit: The indwelling of the Spirit — God’s permanent presence...

In this introductory message, we explore the background, culture, and themes of Paul’s first inspired letter to the church in Corinth. Learn how Corinth’s history, prosperity, and competitive culture shaped the challenges Paul addressed—disunity, disorder in worship, and a lack of holiness—and discover how these timeless lessons still call the church today to unity, order, and a Spirit-led pursuit...

From Paul, To Corinth – 1 Corinthians 1:1–9 Paul opens his letter to a messy, gifted, and divided church with a surprising tone—gratitude and hope. In this episode, we explore why Paul reminds the Corinthians of his God-given authority, what it means to belong to God’s church, and how grace shapes our past, present, and future. Along the way, we’ll talk about dad jokes, lawns, Christmas toys, and...

Squashing Squabbling — 1 Corinthians 1:10-17 Quarreling. Factions. Personality cults. Sadly, these aren’t just problems “out there” in the world—they can creep right into the church. In 1 Corinthians 1:10-17, Paul confronts a divided church in Corinth and calls them back to unity for Jesus’s sake. In this message, we explore why disagreements escalate, why styles and personalities can become stumb...
