Whether you’ve been in church for a long time or have never stepped foot into one, you’re probably familiar with Paul’s love chapter. In chapter 13 Paul gives a detailed description of what gospel love looks like. We can have spiritual gifts, knowledge, powerful actions, and incredible generosity but unless it is motivated by love, and empowered by Christ’s transforming love, it’s useless.

Generous Living
November 26, 2023 • Pastor Nathan Naoumi • 1 Corinthians 16:1–4
Paul closes out the book of 1 Corinthians with one final plea to the church. Live generous! Because of the famine in Judea, Paul is continuing to encourage the church in Corinth to walk alongside another church to help them financially as they struggle to survive. In his call to live generous, he gives steps on how to make biblical generosity part of your life. Let’s lean in.
Crazy Church
November 19, 2023 • Pastor Brett Capaci • 1 Corinthians 14:20–40
Paul provides a blueprint for the Corinthian church on how to conduct worship services with purpose and order. Emphasizing the importance of maturity in understanding spiritual matters, Paul encourages the Corinthians to eagerly pursue spiritual gifts, especially those that contribute to the edification of the entire church. This passage also touches on the role of women in the church, prompting thoughtful reflection on cultural context and the broader biblical principles governing gender roles within the body of Christ.
Spiritual Gifts
November 12, 2023 • Pastor Brett Capaci • 1 Corinthians 12:1–12
Spiritual gifts are grace gifts (in the areas of speaking and serving) that the Holy Spirit gives to all Christians. These gifts are intended to build up and strengthen the church when used under the lordship of Jesus. Paul gives us a lesson on how the Holy Spirit operates through our giftings.
