Give

In 1 Corinthians 6, the apostle Paul turns to address a new source of division in the church--public lawsuits--before closing the first major section of the letter by returning to the danger of sexual depravity in the life of the Christian believer. In this message, Calvary Student Pastor Tristan Edens, summons the church to fully embody its high calling of embracing purity and exercising responsibility and authority over its members as a prelude to the cosmic judgment God's people will aid in executing in the day of the Lord.

The Faithful God

May 21, 2023 • Ben Kimmell • 2 Corinthians 1:12–22

In the second half of this 2 Cor. 1, the apostle Paul defends the integrity of his ministry from accusations prompted by changes in his travel itinerary. He answers those accusations, in part, by grounding his work in the steadfast foundation of the gospel itself. In this message, Pastor Ben calls us to consider some practical issues of Christian character that emerge in this text, before closing with reflections on the unshakeable nature of the gospel.

The God of All Comfort

May 7, 2023 • Ben Kimmell • 2 Corinthians 1:1–11

In 2 Cor. 1.1-11, the apostle Paul celebrates the shared comfort we have in Christ and in His church. In this message, Pastor Ben leads us to contemplate and celebrate the love of God, the comfort the church shares in Christ, and the gospel hope we have past, present, and future.

Final Thoughts

April 30, 2023 • Ben Kimmell • 1 Corinthians 16

In 1 Cor. 16, the apostle Paul closes the letter with practical matters concerning travel plans and future ministry. But in this final chapter of the letter, Paul returns to themes he dwelt on at length throughout. In this message, Pastor Ben traces these gospel themes as vital to the health of a Christ-honoring, gospel-embodying church.
