Senior Pastor Jeff Manion discusses Paul’s response to a question from the Corinthian church. Through his response, we see how asking a radically different question can radically change our relationships. Instead of demanding our rights, when we choose to give them up, we can remove roadblocks from people beginning to follow Jesus.
1 Corinthians 9:7-27

The Habits of Love
October 20, 2019 • Jeff Manion
Senior Pastor Jeff Manion discusses one of the most well-known passages in the Bible – 1 Corinthians 13. In this conversation, we see that we can have the greatest gifts and talents, but if we don’t use them out of love, it is worthless. After walking through the 15 habits of love, we are encouraged to begin a 9-week challenge focusing on 2 or 3 of the habits of love each day. 1 Corinthians 13:1-7
The Way of the Cross
October 27, 2019 • Jeff Manion
Senior Pastor Jeff Manion discusses Paul’s instructions about the cross to the Jesus-community in Corinth. Through this conversation, we see that down is up and there is strength in weakness. Paul tells that Corinthians that Jesus’ death on the cross brings a new way of living through weakness and humility. 1 Corinthians 1:18-2:5
The Garden, The Building & The Temple
November 3, 2019 • Jeff Manion
Senior Pastor Jeff Manion shows us how Paul addresses divisions within the church at Corinth by looking at the three locations of the field, the building, and the temple. We see that being a Christian isn’t personality or differences-driven, but instead about the weakness and humility Jesus showed on the cross. That’s the foundation of following Jesus. Still, we need to be careful to build on the foundation with weakness and humility because the gathered believers of Jesus are God’s temple, his dwelling place. 1 Corinthians 3:5-17
