1 Corinthians 3:5-23 (Christian Dominion)

May 29, 2022 • Derrick Taylor • 1 Corinthians 3:5–23

Christians have been called by God into covenant with Him by grace through His Son, Jesus the Christ. With this covenant, you are an heir of the blessings of God, yet you are also a commissioned servant to His commands to work in the expansion of His victorious kingdom. Will you heed the call to have dominion over the world and subdue it? Or will you sit idle as the world creeps into the blessings God has given, perverting what He’s given to you and to those who would come after you?

1 Corinthians 3:5-23 (God in the Ordinary Means of Grace)

January 2, 2022 • Derrick Taylor • 1 Corinthians 3:5–23

God's care for us is so perfect that He can make bold, seemingly outlandish, promises that will provide the greatest comfort and assurance to His people, who know He will come through. He does not speak these promises to us out of turn. He does not make empty promises to make us feel better, like a parent will often do for their children. He speaks promises that not only provide comfort, but will in fact always find their yes and amen in Christ. Join us today as we examine God's ordinary means of grace in the book of 1 Corinthians! 

1 Corinthians 2:10-14 (The Spirit Of Illumination)

October 3, 2021 • Derrick Taylor • 1 Corinthians 2:10–14

1 Corinthians 2:6-3:4 (The Characteristics of Wisdom)

July 18, 2021 • Derrick Taylor • 1 Corinthians 2:6—3:4

Paul combats the counterfeit wisdom that the Corinthians were entrusting with the true wisdom of God. We consider four characteristics of this wisdom and how Christ is its substance.

1 Corinthians 1:30-2:5 (Unintended Consequences)

April 18, 2021 • Derrick Taylor • 1 Corinthians 1:30–31, 1 Corinthians 2:1–5

1 Corinthians 1:18-31

January 3, 2021 • Derrick Taylor • 1 Corinthians 1:18–31

While the message of the cross, a crucified God, might be foolishness to those who are perishing, this message is the very wisdom of God. This message is the power of God. And this message is how we come to boast in God! Join us this week as we consider Paul's words to the Corinthian church together!

1 Corinthians 1:10-17

October 31, 2020 • Derrick Taylor • 1 Corinthians 1:10–17

In Corinth, we see the damaging results of the party spirit, which left that church deeply divided. Unfortunately, we see that same phenomenon ripping the church apart today. Join us as we examine Paul's letter to the Corinthians, as we look at the characteristics of division, the foolishness of division, and the cure for division, which is the Gospel!  Happy Reformation Day!! 

1 Corinthians 1:1-9

September 7, 2020 • Derrick Taylor • 1 Corinthians 1:1–9

This week, Pastor Derrick led us through the beginning of 1 Corinthians, where we examined the roots of a two year old church that quickly fell back into their old patterns of sin. As we learned in this passage, that same danger is present for us today, but the cure is found in verse 9, that "God is faithful". When we know that and remember that we will have a childlike faith and will become a child like church.
