Paul gives us an inside look at his approach to be a good missionary and ambassador. Paul won't budge on the Gospel and what is theologically true. However, he is flexible in other matters, so that people might be saved. This passage is very helpful in living out our purpose of making disciples. Bible Text: 1 Corinthians 9:19-27 | Preacher: Jeremy Hager

Love and Truth are two of the most important Biblical ideas for followers of Jesus to live out. However, we often have difficulty loving and contending for truth well.

The beginning of the year is a natural time to look back and look forward. There is nothing wrong setting some goals for the new year, however for a follower of Jesus maybe a better thing to focus on is our faithfulness.

Rather than hearing a sermon preached like we do nearly every other Sunday throughout the year, a handful of covenant members come forward and read large portions of Scripture over us. The inspiration for doing this came from Ronnie Smith, a pastor and missionary who gave up his life so that the people of Libya and throughout North Africa would hear about, know, and love Jesus Christ. Preacher: Je...

Paul is in the middle of his letter where he is addressing a Christian’s freedom and rights. In this passage, Paul uses himself as an example of what it looks like to fight entitlement by laying down his rights. Jeremy looks at how everything God gives us is a gift and should cause us to live a life of love, rather than entitlement. Bible Text: 1 Corinthians 9:1-18 | Preacher: Jeremy Hager We're i...

Just because we can do something, that doesn't mean we should. Looking to Christ as our example, we must be willing to lay down our rights for the good of others. Love for God and for others is the foundation for which we determine whether or not to exercise our freedoms.

Paul addresses the sexual immorality happening in the Corinthian Church, namely sex outside of marriage. He does this by appealing to an important theological truth...our bodies matter.

The Corinthians had a pattern of looking to people outside the church to handle their conflicts and grievances. Paul reminds them that because they are Christians they should handle their conflicts within the church, between each other. Jeremy looks at how we can learn from what Paul told the Corinthians to better handle our conflicts and disagreements. Bible Text: 1 Corinthians 6:1-11 | Preacher:...

Jesus is clear in the commands he gives us to love God with your whole being and love your neighbor as yourself. The Bible also says that we are sojourners in this world.

As we jump back into 1 Corinthians, Paul describes a beautiful picture for us – the church as a building fit for a King. The church, with God as its architect, has its foundation on Jesus Christ, built up by the workers of God, and is the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit.

In our present world there seems to be a lack of unity and love for those we disagree with.
