Bragging Rights
September 30, 2018 • Ryan Navy • 1 Corinthians 1:26–31
"Church Divided" is our sermon series through First Corinthians. "Bragging Rights" is the fourth sermon in this series. The essence of the gospel dispels pride and leaves us room for boasting in Christ alone (not ourselves). When we boast in Christ, others hear about Christ and the kingdom grows. Daily we must remind ourselves that we cannot brag on ourselves and we must take opportunities to brag on our Lord.

We Need To Talk
January 6, 2019 • Will Basham • 1 Corinthians 5
"Church Gone Wild" is the second part of our sermon series through First Corinthians. "We Need To Talk" is the first sermon in this series. The Corinthian church was wild. Filled with rampant sin, we see one example of the many sinful situations in chapter five. A man having a sexual relationship with his stepmother leads to teaching on the importance of church discipline as the church is exhorted to stop being so wild and instead start reaching wild people, far from Christ.

Save The Drama
January 13, 2019 • Jeremy Berry • 1 Corinthians 6:1–11
"Church Gone Wild" is the second part of our sermon series through First Corinthians. "Save The Drama" is the second sermon in this series. The Corinthian Christians fought with one another a lot. Their depravity fought its way to the surface in their lives and led them into disputes with one another. Instead of living selflessly, they selfishly sought to win every argument or conflict. This created a horrible reputation for the church and needed correction from Paul, the apostle.

Worth It
January 20, 2019 • Will Basham • 1 Corinthians 6:12–20
"Church Gone Wild" is the second part of our sermon series through First Corinthians. "Worth It" is the third sermon in this series. After a couple of mentions of sexual immorality within the Church at Corinth, Paul enters into a discourse explaining why this particular sin is especially offensive to God and to others. All our sins are external, but sexual sin is both external and internal, against others and against ourselves. We are exhorted to respect our bodies, which are temples for God’s glory.
