Spiritual Insight

May 5, 2024 • Pastor Mike Maiolo • 1 Corinthians 2:6–16

With all the voices around us today, it is often difficult to discern Godly wisdom from worldly wisdom. For those who follow Jesus, the word of God provides that clarity of knowing the difference, but it’s not just hearing but obeying Him.

Faithful Leaders

June 9, 2024 • Pastor Mike Maiolo • 1 Corinthians 4:14–21

Why is leadership so important? We often hear phrases like “lead by example,” but what does that really look like in everyday life? As Paul says in this letter to the Corinthians about leading, this is the time for Christ-followers to step into the “gaps” of our culture and provide leadership that attracts others to Jesus.

Strength in Weakness

June 2, 2024 • Pastor Mike Maiolo • 1 Corinthians 4:1–13

Strong leadership is a term today that has many definitions. If we believe the Bible has all truth, then the true meaning of leadership is found in the Word of God. In this section of Corinthians, Paul identifies himself and all the leaders with him as “servants.” People today are looking for strong leadership and following God’s definition will bring the greatest impact.

The Root of the Problem

May 26, 2024 • Pastor Scott Kilpatrick • 1 Corinthians 3:18–23

It is always easier to identify the faults and flaws in others than it is to see them in ourselves. Either way, the only effective way to deal with our spiritual shortcomings is to find and address the root of the problem. In this portion of his letter to the Corinthian church, Paul makes it clear that spiritual immaturity and divisiveness in the church are symptoms of some deeply rooted, fundamental problems that need to be corrected. And though Paul is writing to the Corinthian church, he is writing to us as well.
