Love Does Not Rejoice at Wrongdoing, but Rejoices with the Truth

1 Corinthians 13:6

January 27, 2024 • Joshua Moffit • 1 Corinthians 13:6

Rejoicing at wrongdoing is the opposite of love and it robs us of true joy – a joy that is found in the love of God for sinners and a love that rejoices with the truth. Jesus embodied this perfect love and truth for us so that we might be forgiven, healed, and empowered to love others with the love that God has shown to us at the cross of Jesus Christ.

Welcoming Correction instead of Despising it

June 8, 2024 • Tim Cain • 1 Corinthians 16:10–18

How do you respond when someone points out an area in your life where you were wrong? Do you get defensive? Do you return the favor and point out all of the areas where the person who corrected you has fallen short? In I Corinthians 16:10-11 Paul calls the Corinthians to welcome Timothy’s correction rather than despising him for it. In this message we will consider what it might look like for us to apply this advice towards anyone who chooses to correct us out of love.

Making Plans and Trusting God

June 1, 2024 • Tim Cain • 1 Corinthians 16:5–9

What do you do when you work really hard to put together a plan only to find that nothing turned out the way you expected it to? It can be hard right? Now what about when your plans involved a relationship? When our relationships don’t go the way we planned we often find ourselves feeling lonely and heartbroken. In this passage we will see how Paul responded when his relationship with the Corinthians didn’t end up going the way he planned it to.

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.
