How do you respond when people sin against you? For most of us our first response to being sinned against is anger. But Paul tells us that love is not easily angered. And how do we keep people who have hurt us from hurting us again. Well for most of us we keep track of what they have done in order to protect ourselves from being hurt. But Paul tells us that love keeps no record of wrong. In this sermon we will consider what love does with our anger and how it is possible to truly forgive those who have hurt us deeply.
Love, Anger, and Forgiveness.

The Priority of Generosity
May 25, 2024 • Tim Cain • 1 Corinthians 16:1–4
What is it that makes money so attractive? Is it the freedom and the control that it offers? Is it the security it gives in the midst of all the uncertainties of the future? Or maybe it’s the comfort and pleasure that money promises? In this message, we will compare the promises of money and the promises of the Gospel and find that, in the end, Jesus is better. Lastly, we will consider what it would look like to live as if Jesus and not money were our greatest treasure.
Not in Vain
May 18, 2024 • Joshua Moffit • 1 Corinthians 15:58
If you have a worldview "under the sun" it seems like everything is vanity and a striving after wind. That is certainly how life often feels. Our labor is not always fruitful or lasting. Hurt, disappointment, unmet expectations, lost dreams, and failure are part of our shared human experience in this fallen world. However, the gospel flips all of that upside down! Jesus has been raised from the dead and so we have the assurance that in the Lord our labor is not in vain!
Death’s Defeat!
May 11, 2024 • Tim Cain • 1 Corinthians 15:50–57
Have you ever longed to see death destroyed? Think of all of the havoc death has wreaked and the pain that it has caused. Well in I Corinthians 15 Paul points us towards a day where death will be no more. A day where the one who seemed to swallow everything in his path will be swallowed up in victory.
