My Rights or What's Right

January 7, 2024 • Aaron Schaut • 1 Corinthians 8, Galatians 5:13

What's best for me isn't always what's best. The gospel invites us to a countercultural way of living in freedom - one where doing what's right sometimes means laying down our rights.

A Meal of Life and Death

March 24, 2024 • Aaron Schaut • 1 Corinthians 11:17–34, John 12:1–2, John 12:9–16

Centuries ago, one meal set off a series of events that changed the world. To this day, we continue to celebrate that same meal in remembrance, and Paul's letter to Corinth gives a specific vision for why this meal can bring both life and death. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 11:17-34, John 12:1-2a, 9-16

Men, Women, and Hats

March 17, 2024 • David Culbertson • Hebrews 12:14–15, 1 Corinthians 10:31–33, 1 Corinthians 11:2–26, Mark 7:6–8

Paul gave the Corinthian church some instructions of head coverings that, at face value, don't make much sense. But when we dig deeper into the context of this puzzling text, we find beautiful and timeless principles with enduring value for today.

This Is What We're Made For

March 10, 2024 • Aaron Schaut • 1 Corinthians 10:31—11:1

Money, family, career, pleasure. All of those things are good, but none of them can full satisfy the purpose for which human beings were designed. Accordingly to the Apostle Paul, our entire purpose for existence boils down to one simple thing. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:31-11:1, Psalm 19:1-4, Revelation 5:13, Romans 11:36, Psalm 34:3, Colossians 3:17
