Wisdom Cries Aloud - Colossians 3:22-24 Eric Price God created us to work, it wasn't a punishment! Too often, however, we work for the wrong reasons and for the wrong boss. We put our hope in things like the lottery, unexpected inheritances or retirement as means of escape. This often results in a joyless workweek that becomes out of step with the other areas of our lives (church, community, praye...

The Fight for Wisdom - 1 Corinthians 16 Jobey McGinty We need more encouragers, and less critics. We ought to aim to be the kind of people who lift others up, refresh others, and speak life into their life, rather than weigh them down and burden them. Those who serve among us ought to be honored for their dedication and sacrifice, and they need us to help spur them on. 

The Fight for Wisdom - 1 Corinthians 16.5-12 Jobey McGinty We ought to be people who are always looking for opportunities to get involved in the lives of others, and invite them to get involved in our lives.  But this takes change: putting down our phones, not seeing opportunities as inconveniences, and modifying how we "look" for opportunities.  

The Fight for Wisdom - 1 Corinthians 15.20-23, 35-58 Jobey McGinty  It's hard to picture a place we've never been to, even if we've seen pictures. But we have no photos of heaven, and so it can be even harder to picture! But the bible gives us many clues to let us know much of what we can expect. We won't be see-through, angelic beings with wings floating in a whitewashed cloud city. Heaven w...

The Fight for Wisdom - 1 Corinthians 16.1-4 Jobey McGinty  Should Christians give 10% of their income to God? 15%? You can almost picture Jesus saying, "you have heard it said, give a tithe of your money to God. But I tell you, give all of it." Our mentality should be to give God 100% of everything we have, from our money, time, hobbies, work, and everything in between.  But how do we ge...

Wisdom Cries Aloud - Ephesians 5 Eric Price What should a wife model her role in her marriage after?  What should a husband aim to embody in his marriage?  In this sermon, we see that Christ gives us an example of what it looks like to be either a wife lovingly and freely submitted in partnership with her husband, as well as a husband who lovingly and freely lays his very life down every...

The Fight For Wisdom - 1 Corinthians 15.12-34 Jobey McGinty If Jesus didn't raise from the grave, both body and soul, Christians should be the people who should be most pitied. Without the resurrection, as humans we can only expect more of the same: death, sickness, poverty, loneliness, sin.  But the resurrection is the first sign of something new, something better, and something filled with...

The Fight for Wisdom - 1 Corinthians 15.1-11 Jobey McGinty After challenging the Corinthians on a number of difficult issues, it seems Paul senses a need to pause from the weighty topics and remind them of their foundations in the Gospel.  In the midst of busy lives, challenging circumstances and our own sin and doubts, we need this same reminder!  The Gospel isn't just our starting poin...

The Fight for Wisdom - 1 Corinthians 14.26-40 Jobey McGinty Are we free to design our lives and interactions with others however we see fit?  Or is there a better way?  God is a God of order, and even models how we should relate with one another, show respect to one another, submit to one another, and serve one another.  How does this apply to our lives, in our families, marriages,...

The Fight for Wisdom - 1 Corinthians 14.6-25 Jobey McGinty What is the gift of tongues, and is it still in action today?  What was the whole purpose of tongues in the first place? These are just a few of the questions we face when it comes to this extraordinary and unusual gift that God gave to the church, and the Corinthians were prone to misuse it.

Jobey McGinty, interviewing Leslie Salazar-Carillo, CEO Pathway Health Clinic In light of the new legislation passed in New York concerning abortion last week, we take time to look at the topic of abortion, specifically, how we who are pro-life respond to a culture that is ever-increasing in its promotion and allowance of shedding the blood of innocent lives. How does the every day Christian - a s...

Growing the Roots of Wisdom Jobey McGinty We often set goals and have desires to fulfill a particular vision for our life, but without a plan, it is simply wishful thinking. We not only need a strategy, but a strategy that actually provides us with the power to live out the strategy in a way that helps us attain the goals we have. God has given us three primary means to be roots that help connect...

Advent: Wisdom Cries Aloud Jobey McGinty   What will our eternal future be like? What will our bodies and the place we live be like? Chances are, it will be different than what you thought it would be growing up. It will be far greater than you can imagine!

Advent: Wisdom Cries Aloud Jobey McGinty We need a Redeemer. We have sinned against the God of the Universe, and are currently "out on bail," living freely in this life. But one day, we will stand before the Judge to state our case for why we should be forgiven for committing cosmic treason. On our own, we have no case, we have no hope. We need a Redeemer to come in and stand in our place.

Advent: Wisdom Cries Aloud Jobey McGinty How does the Fall of Man display God's Wisdom? It seems that when something we create becomes broken, it proves a lack of wisdom on our part. But this is not so with God. He weaves this incredible story and reveals His wisdom in it even through its darkest parts.

Advent: Wisdom Cries Aloud - God's Wisdom in Creating All Things Jobey McGinty Christ is the Wisdom of God, and when He came to the earth 2,000 years ago, we got to see and behold God's Wisdom in the flesh. But the leading up to His birth, and the result of His life, is what makes His appearance, His Advent, so awe-inspiring and the ultimate display of His Wisdom.

The Fight for Wisdom - 1 Corinthians 14.1-4 Jobey McGinty Regardless of what we believe about the spiritual gifts (particularly prophecy and prophets), how do we discern what to do and how to make decisions when we believe God is leading us in a particular direction? How do we make godly decisions and live a life that is fueled by the Holy Spirit?

The Fight for Wisdom - 1 Corinthians 14.1-4 Jobey McGinty What was the role of New Testament prophets and prophecy, and are the New Testament prophets and prophecy that Paul describes in his letters still around today? In this sermon, we look at these and other questions concerning this hotly debated gift of the Holy Spirit.

Wisdom Cries Aloud - Proverbs 29:25 Eric Price We live in a noisy world, with many different voices and enticements coming from every angle. At the head of the street Wisdom is crying out for us to run to her; to close our ears and turn our hearts away from the many distractions that would keep us trapped in self-centered pursuits. But will we return the call, seeking after Wisdom as silver or gol...

The Fight for Wisdom - 1 Corinthians 13.1-13 Jobey McGinty The Corinthian church was looking at their personal giftings and place in society as a way of finding their identity, prominence, and value. But Paul says there is a much better way to find those things, and a much better way to use our gifts, and that is the way of love. We could be the most talented and gifted people in our community, bu...

The Fight for Wisdom - 1 Corinthians 13.1-3 Jobey McGinty The Corinthian church was looking at their personal giftings and place in society as a way of finding their identity, prominence, and value. But Paul says there is a much better way to find those things, and a much better way to use our gifts, and that is the way of love. We could be the most talented and gifted people in our community, but...

The Fight for Wisdom - 1 Corinthians 12.14-31 Jobey McGinty Each person has been uniquely gifted by God to play an important role in the body of Christ. Though we may think we are less important or unimportant, just because we believe or feel that does not make it true. We each have an important role to play, whether we like our role or even see our role or not.

The Fight for Wisdom - 1 Corinthians 12.1-13 Jobey McGinty What are spiritual gifts, and why are they given? Does everyone have them, and how do we discover which we have? How do we learn to walk out this life in a "naturally supernatural" way, using our spiritual gifts in every day life?
