Stand Firm!

October 29, 2023 • Scott Lessing • 1 Corinthians 15

Paul says that until our spirit leaves our bodies, in the meantime time, our goal is to please the Lord in all that we think, do and say. If you're having a tough time right now, praise God, even during the trials and difficult times of your life. Stay in the boat! Learn about our Savior. Spend time with Jesus.

The Gifts of Tongues & Prophecy

October 15, 2023 • Jonathan Schaeffer • 1 Corinthians 14

The gifts of tongues and prophecy are just two of many spiritual gifts mentioned in the Bible. Paul expresses in his first letter to the Corinthian church, that he "wishes they could all speak in tongues, but even more that they could all prophesy." Join Pastor Jonathan Schaeffer as he uncovers what Paul meant by that statement and how these two spiritual gifts can still be used by people in the church today.

How NOT To Ruin A Good Meal

September 3, 2023 • Kareem Smith • 1 Corinthians 11

You cannot worship Jesus at the table of Communion if you ignore the unity of the church. We are not just connected to Christ by faith, we’re connected to one another through love. Our harmony and oneness in the body makes a statement to the watching world, that there is power in the blood of Christ. Jesus makes all things new by making all of us ONE!

Learning From Failure

August 27, 2023 • Jonathan Schaeffer • 1 Corinthians 10

You might feel like you've failed a ton. But God gives us more grace and mercy than we could ever deserve. He loves to rescue people who feel lost. People who feel they've messed up. God says, "I'll be faithful to you. You don't have to keep on giving in. There's a way out. Trust me. I'll help you." So the choice is yours. No matter where you've been, where will you go starting today? God will help you write a new chapter if you'll trust him.
