Love, Anger, and Forgiveness.

I Corinthians 13:4-7

January 20, 2024 • Tim Cain • 1 Corinthians 13:4–7

   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.

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.

The Nature of the Resurrection

April 27, 2024 • Tim Cain • 1 Corinthians 15:35–39

Have you ever wondered how it could be possible for bodies that are buried and decay to ever be raised to life again? The idea almost seems inconceivable. And even if it were possible, do we really want to be stuck in our bodies forever? These are a few of the questions that Paul addresses in these verses. Let’s see what he has to say.
