Live By The Spirit and Not By The Flesh

September 22, 2024 • Chip Henderson • 1 Corinthians 2

In this sermon, Chip explains that there are two paths in life: a broad road that leads to destruction and a narrow road that leads to life, requiring a choice to follow Christ. Paul emphasized this by urging believers to live by the Spirit rather than by the flesh, allowing the Holy Spirit to guide their actions and reveal God’s wisdom.

Can I Do That?

October 20, 2024 • Chip Henderson • 1 Corinthians 6:12–20

In this sermon, Chip addresses 1 Corinthians 6, where Paul warns the Corinthians against misusing Christian freedom to justify immoral behaviors. He emphasizes that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit and that true freedom involves honoring God with our whole being rather than indulging in selfish desires.

Handling Conflict Between Church Members

October 13, 2024 • Chip Henderson • 1 Corinthians 6:1–11

In this sermon, Chip urges Christians to resolve disputes with spiritual maturity within the church rather than in secular courts, reflecting our identity in Christ and our testimony to the world. We should seek peace and unity and make amends when wronged, trusting in God's justice.

Exercising Church Discipline

October 6, 2024 • Chip Henderson • 1 Corinthians 5

In his sermon, Chip emphasizes the importance of believers striving for purity in their lives and within the church. When ongoing sin is present among believers, the church has the responsibility to confront it, aiming for repentance and restoration, as unchecked sin can negatively affect the entire body of Christ.
