Running Pastor

Paul continues his teaching about the changes that were brought about by Christ's resurrection and gives us some hints of what our resurrected bodies, and life, will look like one day

This is a tweet that Art Rainer tweets every single day, and today it is the major point of our text from 1 Corinthians 15 as well! Join us as we see the difference that Christ's resurrection makes

In 1 Corinthians 8 Paul "discusses" something with the Corinthians that seems like it has no bearing on our lives, food offered to idols. But what we see is a reminder that all of Scripture has application for our lives, and this text helps us think through things like buying alcohol, lottery tickets, how we dress, what shows we watch...

As we look at 1 Corinthians 13 we see the importance of love, especially in the application of using spiritual gifts for the good of the body of Christ

As Paul continues to inform the Corinthians about things that brought great interest to them he turns his attention to the idea of spiritual gifts, specifically how they are for the building up of the body

As Paul continues to discuss issues that needed to be addressed by the church at Corinth he brought up what we today call church discipline. He clearly lays out 1. What it is 2. Why it is needed for sinners and 3. Why it is needed for the church.

In 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 Paul gives 5 imperatives. As we see what they were and what they meant we are reminded and challenged to avoid sin, but are also reminded what should motivate us to do that

Dr. Will Wall preaches a sermon from Psalm 30 about the importance, and the gift, of God moving us towards Himself.

In 1 Corinthians 11:17-26 Paul admonishes the Corinthians to stop bringing the segregation that was part of Roman society into the church. He calls them to be unified and we look at possible ways that we may not have realized that we are doing this today as well.

As we turn our attention to the book of 1 Corinthians for the Summer we get an introduction to the book. What is the main theme, who is writing it, what sort of things are the recipients dealing with.... 1 Corinthians 1:1-3

Bro. Grant steps in to preach on Senior Recognition Sunday and turns to Philippians 4 to help us see how God's Word calls us to address things like stress and worry.

What do you do in the toughest of times? Where do you go, to whom do you turn on those days? Peter and John went to the church, and I believe show us the importance of being part of God's people.

In Acts 4 we see the response of the Jewish leadership to Peter and John's preaching Christ in the temple. As they are arrested they are warned not to preach Christ, and in their response we see a great personal reminder.

In Acts 3 we see a man that has been lame since birth miraculously healed! We also hear Peter tell us how this took place and what this sign calls it's observers to do in response.

As we look in Acts 2:42-47 we see what life was like for these early Christians. We see what they were devoted to, and what this devotion led to. These are things that I think we should all desire more of in our lives!

In Acts 2:14-41 Peter teaches the gathered Jewish people on Pentecost that Jesus is both Lord and Christ. He uses three different Old Testament texts to help them understand what is going on and who Jesus is. (Joel 2, Psalm 16, Psalm 110)

As we finish up our Easter sermon series we look at Luke 24:1-12 to see how the events of Resurrection Sunday went and what sort of implications they have on our lives today.

As we continue toward Easter in the Gospel of Luke we see Jesus' great love and concern for others, even as He is moving toward death on the cross. We also see the difference that faith makes.

As Jesus is put on trial for claiming to be God by His own people in Luke 22:66-71 we get the privilege of seeing His response that reminds us of how worthy He truly is!

In Acts 2:1-13 we see the coming of the Holy Spirit, the fulfillment of Jesus' promise to the disciples, but I believe the timing of this event, on the day of Pentecost, magnifies the picture of God's faithfulness!
