1 Corinthians
Current Sunday Service
Hats, Hair, and Headship
April 14, 2024 • Pastor Brian Bell • 1 Corinthians 11:1–16
Paul addresses how married men and women should worship publically so that they may show honor to God and to each other as they live out their faith. This provides a principle of honoring God's design for our bodies and relationships as men and women as we intereact with each other and our culture as Christians.
A Meal To Remember
April 21, 2024 • Pastor Brian Bell • 1 Corinthians 11:17–34
Jesus died for all people and commands His people to remember His death with the Lord's Supper. Remembering His death leads to remembering His love for others and to seek unity with other believers, instead of being selfish and divided.
Soli Deo Gloria
April 7, 2024 • Pastor Brian Bell • 1 Corinthians 10:14–33
Idolatry can be subtle and Christ-followers should take it seriously while also enjoying the freedom Jesus gave them. The overriding principle to guide Christ-followers is do everything for God's glory which is mainly done through showing love to others and sacrificing for them.
The Way of Escape
March 17, 2024 • Pastor Brian Bell • 1 Corinthians 10:1–13
All of us face temptation, but God protects us from temptations that are too much, and He provides a way out, which are often warnings from His Word and people like Paul to bring our attention to our problem. This speaks to God's faithfulness, ultimately shown in providing salvation through His son Jesus.
Love Builds Up
February 25, 2024 • Pastor Brian Bell • 1 Corinthians 8
God sets his people free through Jesus. Christian freedom doesn’t mean a life without limits, but free to live for God without fear, including the fear of missing out on what the world says is needed. Christ-followers are part of a family and should practice their freedom with love toward others and wisdom in all kinds of gray areas.
Sensational Singleness
February 18, 2024 • Pastor Brian Bell • 1 Corinthians 7:25–40
Christianity was revolutionary for having a positive view of singleness. Being single is a gift, but so is marriage, and neither marrieds nor singles should look down on each other or be jealous of each other. Believers should focus on pleasing God in any situation as this world is passing away.
The Gospel Changes Everything and Hardly Anything
February 11, 2024 • Pastor Brian Bell • 1 Corinthians 7:10–24
Paul encourages believers to stay in the situation they are in. So for the married, even to unbelieving spouses, they should stay married. As believers obey God, Jesus is able to mold them and use them in whatever career or relationship status they are in.
Sex and Sandwiches
December 10, 2023 • Pastor Brian Bell • 1 Corinthians 7:12–20
The world has a temporary view of the body, treating it as dirty or it doesn't matter, so people can do what they want with it. But God loves and redeems our whole person, including our body, and wants us to glorify Him with how we use it.
The Wrong Way To Right Wrongs
December 3, 2023 • Pastor Brian Bell • 1 Corinthians 6
The Corinthians were taking each other to court over small matters. Paul is challenging believers to handle their conflicts differently than the world to show they world they are guided by the Holy Spirit and are humble.
