Feb 19 1 Corinthians 6:1-8 / Don't You Know?

Brad Bell

Paul reminds the Corinthians that they represent something bigger than themselves, and that their lives are to reflect a glory that is bigger than their own. Yet when defrauded, they sued. When wronged, they went to court. When mistreated, they sought litigation. This just affirmed to the world…

Feb 12 1 Corinthians 5:2-13 / Dealing with Immorality Part 3

PJ Lewis

How is the Church supposed to respond to the immorality of unbelievers? What standard do we hold them to and how do we deal with them? The unbeliever’s issue is not their sin; their sin is only a symptom. The issue is that they don’t have a relationship with Jesus Christ, and our message to them…

Feb 5 1 Corinthians 5:2-13 / Dealing with Immorality Part 2

Brad Bell

What is the Church's responsibility regarding sin among us? How do we deal with a so-called Christian who lives a life of disobedience? Some have started "inquisitions" while others have brushed things under the rug in the name of toleration. Neither of these responses are Biblical. If we are silent…

Jan 29 1 Corinthians 5:2-13 / Dealing with Immorality Part 1

Brad Bell

"Remove the sexually immoral from your midst," "deliver this man to Satan," “don't associate with the sexually immoral," and "purge the evil person from among you." Paul is not messing around with the Corinthian church as he brings to light several key issues regarding sexual immorality. What should…

Jan 22 1 Corinthians 5:1-2 / When In Rome

Brad Bell

Where does immorality come from and why is it such a vice for so many? This issue of immorality has completely infiltrated the church and has compromised our holiness, thus clouding our reflection of the image of God. We will look at a historical sweep of immorality and the implications on our day…

Jan 15 1 Corinthians 4:14-21 / Tough Love

PJ Lewis

Loving people isn’t about telling them what they want to hear; it’s telling them what they need to hear – in a spirit of gentleness. Paul writes tough words of correction to the church in Corinth, not to hurt them, but to help them. As part of a church family, we shouldn’t strive for other people to…

Jan 9 1 Corinthians 4:1-13 / What Did You Expect?

Brad Bell

For many, faith in Christ comes with a myriad of expectations. Some of these are driven by a healthy understanding of the scriptures, yet others are propelled by a worldly perspective. As we look at the text, the posture of a follower of Christ is humility; the expectation should be that we would…

Jan 1 Colossians 3:12-17 / Love "ONE" Another

Jerrod Rumley

This passage in Colossians is a highly descriptive admonishment for us to give thanks, be biblical, let peace rule, love, forgive, forebear, and remember that we are saints. This doesn’t accidentally happen; we must live intentionally. Our outward behavior in our lives should consistently reflect…

Dec 18 2011 Matthew 1:18-2:12 / The Greatest Gift

Brad Bell

Few things come close to the nostalgia and traditions of Christmas. Gifts, lights, Santa, and festive decor mark our communities as the season sets in, capturing the hearts and imaginations of all those involved. But in the midst of the decorations and festivities, there is the humility of a manger…

Dec 11 2011 1 Corinthians 3:10-23

Brad Bell

There was major division in the Corinthian church because the people of Corinth distanced themselves from the exclusive doctrine of Christ alone. Paul admonishes them and cautions those who would follow in the footsteps of false teachers. We have also allowed human wisdom to shape the Gospel. No…
