Love seeks the highest good of another person. Are you seeking the highest good for your spouse? Your children? Your friends?

You'll learn what love is and what it isn't. As you listen to this message, ask the Holy Spirit to show you how to love others better. You reflect the heart of Jesus when you demonstrate His love to those around you.

Loves Excellent Way - Part 1
November 18, 2024 • Pastor John Miller • 1 Corinthians 13
You've likely heard Chapter Thirteen of First Corinthians before. Known as the 'Love Chapter,' it details how Christians are to love others. “Love is patient, love is kind...” But today in his teaching, Pastor John asks you to insert YOUR name in the place of love. Are you patient? Are you kind? Are you envious? As you realize that you aren't all those things, you may feel discouraged. But have hope. Try putting the name of Jesus in the text. Jesus IS patient. He IS kind. Ask Jesus to help make your heart become more like His.

Think of the many parts that make up your physical body. There's your hands, feet, eyes, and ears. Then, you have a brain, heart, liver, and lungs. The list goes on. It takes ALL of these unique parts working together in harmony for your body to function well. As you'll learn in today's message from Pastor John, the same is true of the body of Christ.

Have you wondered if you're filled with the Holy Spirit? If you have placed your faith in Jesus, then you have the Holy Spirit. You are a temple of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit resides in you. But today, in his teaching, Pastor John poses another question, “Does the Holy Spirit have YOU?”. Have you surrendered your thoughts, actions, heart, and lifestyle to Him? Are you yielding to the Spirit? As you learn today about spiritual gifts, remember that the Holy Spirit IS a gift. He is the one who gives you spiritual gifts.

What's commonplace in our culture may be offensive to another. As you'll hear in today's message from Pastor John, if you're a follower of Christ, you're called not to be offensive or dishonoring to others. Being insensitive doesn't help spread the Gospel message. You'll learn about the problem that the Corinthian Church had with conducting themselves in public. By being disorderly, they were dishonoring the Lord. Don't make the same mistake. Being sensitive to others brings glory to Jesus.

November 7, 2024 • Pastor John Miller • 1 Corinthians 10:14—11:1
Some people struggle with understanding how and why God is a jealous God. Today, Pastor John uses the illustration of marriage to unpack this idea. If your spouse were flirting with or involved with another person, you'd be upset. It would hurt you because you love them, and they have pledged their loyalty and commitment to you. Similarly, Christians are considered the Bride of Christ. When you chase after idols and put things above the Lord, He's jealous. He rightly desires first place in your heart and your life.

Have you ever driven up a mountain with drastic drop-offs? It's terrifying to imagine going off the cliff. Well, today in his teaching, Pastor John illustrates just how vital it is to stay away from the edge of sin. Don't try to see how close to the boundary you can get before falling off. It's not worth the danger that it puts your soul in. The Apostle Paul warned the Corinthian Church not to have fellowship with demons because it would cause danger and destruction. Instead, aim to stay far away from the temptation to sin.

Have you let unbelief and fear hold you back from experiencing all God has for you? Today, in Pastor John's message, you'll hear about the mistakes the first generation of Israel made that led to them not entering the Promised Land. Joshua and Caleb were the only two who trusted in the Lord and had faith. Therefore, out of the two million Israelites that fled Egypt, they were the two who got to enter. Is there a step the Lord is asking you to make in faith? You can take it knowing He who calls you is faithful.

You'll hear about Israel and how they started off well. God abundantly blessed them by freeing them from Egypt and guiding them through the wilderness. Yet somewhere along the way, they compromised. They were disqualified from the race. Don't let that be you! Learn from their mistake and stay strong til the end!

What are you struggling to give up for the sake of the Gospel? Today, Pastor John shares in his teaching about the importance of being flexible. The Apostle Paul was willing to adjust things about himself for the sake of whoever he was trying to reach for Christ. It's never okay to sin to get the Gospel out, but it is okay and even necessary at times to set aside your preferences in order to further your witness. Identify anything holding you back from reaching others and make some course corrections.

Is there an area of indulgence you need to give up for the sake of the Gospel? In today's message, Pastor John urges you not to let your lifestyle get in the way of you sharing Jesus with others. If there's something you're doing that's causing someone else to stumble and sin, it's time to cut that out of your life. Just because you have the liberty to do it doesn't mean it's good to do. As you listen to today's message, consider what's getting in the way of your witness and how you can eliminate it from your life.

In today's message, Pastor John teaches that love sets limits on Christian liberty. This means that although there are activities you're free in Christ to do, if something you're doing is causing someone else to sin, then it IS sinful to do. Think about your life. Are you being a stumbling block to someone? This could look like spending time in certain places, drinking alcohol, or the type of entertainment you're consuming. It may not be causing you to sin, but you shouldn't do it if it's causing your friend to sin.
