1 Corinthians
Not long after the resurrection of Christ, Paul was on his second missionary journey and planted a church in the area of Corinth. Around 53AD, about 20 years after the resurrection, we have a letter that Paul sent back to the church there addressing issues and questions they had. This is the first recorded letter we have of Paul back to the church. The issues and questions Paul addresses are very relevant still for us today.

Paul begins his letter to the Corinthians reminding them that they are to live differently from the world, and handle their differences differently than the world does. The body of Christ is a community together, and God is able to sustain us through it all.

In a world that often elevates personalities, preferences, and human wisdom, Paul calls the church back to what matters most: Jesus Christ. Sure there are personalities we are drawn to, wisdom we walk in, and preferences we have, but those things must all be surrendered at the foot of the cross. The church is meant to be united around Jesus Christ and His gospel, not divided by personalities, preferences, opinions, or personal agendas.

What does healthy Christian leadership look like? In 1 Corinthians 4, Paul challenges us to see leadership not as a position of power, but as an opportunity to serve and faithfully steward what God has entrusted to us. This week we explore church leadership, how we all honor spiritual leadership, handle criticism, use our influence well, and find our identity in Christ rather than performance, success, or the opinions of others.

This message takes us to 1 Corinthians 5–6 where Paul expresses how Christians are called to live differently in a culture that normalizes sexual immorality. Paul challenges the church to reject cultural definitions of morality, flee temptation, and honor God with their bodies. Through repentance, surrender, and the power of the Holy Spirit, we can experience genuine transformation—not simply behavior modification, having our desires and lives increasingly shaped by Christ. Jesus didn't set us free so we could become comfortable with sin. He set us free from sin so we could live differently.

Corinth was taking private church matters and making them a spectacle in the public court. Social media seems to have become a public courtroom where private conflicts are placed on trial. But Scripture gives us a better way. This week we explore how Jesus calls us to handle conflict and confrontations with truth, love, wisdom, and a desire for restoration. We’ll discover why the church must take sin seriously while extending grace, and how the way we handle conflict can point people toward—or away from—Jesus.

Marriage rates are at historic lows, and both single and married people often feel like second-class citizens in the church. In Week 6 of our study on 1 Corinthians we go into chapter 7 where we unpack Paul's surprising take: singleness and marriage are both gifts, both callings, and neither is a waiting room for the other. We'll look honestly at God's design for covenant, commitment, and what it means to glorify Him in whatever season you're in.

What does it mean to follow Jesus when life isn’t always black and white? In 1 Corinthians 8–11, Paul challenges us to move beyond simply asking, “What am I free to do?” and instead ask, “What is the wise, loving, Christ-honoring thing to do?” Discover how our freedom, preferences, and desires should be shaped by love, God’s glory, and a commitment to lead others toward Christ.

God has given every believer a gift, a role, and a place within the body of Christ. But our gifts aren’t about elevating ourselves—they’re about serving others. In this message, we explore the relationship between men and women in the body, the work of the Holy Spirit, and the importance of using the gifts of the Spirit with love, humility, and order. Discover how God wants His Spirit working not only in you, but through you, whether you are male or female.
