Building a Culture of Worship

1 Corinthians 14

September 24, 2023 • Luke Edgerton • 1 Corinthians 14

Give

Building a Culture of Worship includes a culture of music and song, but is much more than that. The Kingdom’s Culture is a culture of worshipfulness.

Pop culture promotes self, promotes autonomy, and often promotes evil. The Kingdom’s culture promotes worshippers who edify one another by clear, quality means so that the one looking for Jesus can find Him.

A culture of worship is a culture of excitement and contrition; a mixture of thrill and pensiveness.

1 Corinthians 14 gives us the reason why we gather in both large numbers and small numbers: to reach those far from God and disciple them into a relationship with Jesus.

Building a Culture of Giving

October 22, 2023 • Luke Edgerton • 2 Corinthians 9:6–7

"Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver."

Building a Culture of Submission

October 15, 2023 • Nick Wise • 1 Corinthians 8:9—9:23

Freedom can be defined as - “liberty and autonomy in the sense of giving oneself one's own laws.” Essentially - freedom means self-authority. But what if that isn’t the best way to live? What if we aren’t the best authority for ourselves? What if the restraints that God put in place are actually for our benefit? In this message, we continue our look into 1 Corinthians and how to build a Kingdom Culture. What we need to remember is that in the Kingdom of God, we are not the King or Queen. God is.

Building a Culture of Synergy

October 8, 2023 • Mady Wise • 1 Corinthians 12:12—13:3

You may have heard the term “the church body” or “the body of believers,” but what does that even mean? And why is it so important? In this message we continue our journey through 1 Corinthians as we take a look at what it means to be a body of believers ~ in other words, what it means to be a collective of Christ followers all working toward the same goal. Though we are different parts, different people, we are all one body, we are one blood, we are one mission.
