In 1 Corinthians 14, Paul teaches that God is not a God of chaos, but of peace and order. The church in Corinth had turned worship into a disorderly free-for-all, where spiritual gifts—especially speaking in tongues—were misused, leading to confusion instead of edification. Sound familiar? In this sermon, we dive deep into:– The Purpose of…
How do you know if you’re truly growing in Christ? Too often, we use the wrong spiritual barometers—our knowledge, talents, ministry success, or even our theological positions. But the Apostle Paul makes it clear in 1 Corinthians 13 that the true measure of spiritual maturity is love. In this message, we explore: Join us as…
Do you ever struggle with feeling like you don’t belong? Or wrestle with insecurity and purpose? In 1 Corinthians 12:12-31, Paul reminds us that in Christ, we are part of something far greater than ourselves—the Body of Christ.

Spiritual gifts are given to build up the church, but when misused due to ignorance, they can cause harm. Like a tool used incorrectly, gifts meant for good can bring destruction. The Corinthians were using their gifts for self-glory rather than God’s glory, leading to disunity. Paul urges them—and us—to be informed about spiritual gifts…
In this powerful account of ten lepers healed by Jesus, we uncover a deeper truth about gratitude, faith, and salvation. Leprosy serves as a vivid symbol of sin—incurable, isolating, and destructive.

The Lord’s Supper is a sacred practice meant to unify the church, remind us of Christ’s ultimate sacrifice, and proclaim the gospel. Yet, as the Apostle Paul addresses in 1 Corinthians, what was intended for unity in the Corinthian church had become a source of division, reflecting societal norms instead of the norms of Christ’s…
What does 1 Corinthians 11:2-16 teach us about God’s design for men and women? How does this passage point us to Christ and the Gospel, even amidst its cultural and historical complexities?

What does it really mean to love God and others? In 1 Corinthians 9, the Apostle Paul shows us that love isn’t just words—it’s a life of sacrifice, discipline, and purpose. Paul gave up his rights, comforts, and entitlements, not out of obligation, but out of an overwhelming love for God and a burning passion…
1 Corinthians 8 is often compared to Romans 14, which addresses the issue of eating kosher versus non-kosher foods. In both cases, Paul emphasizes the importance of exercising our Christian freedoms responsibly, ensuring we do not cause weaker or newer believers to stumble, and extending charity to brothers and sisters at different stages of their…
In today’s message, we explored 1 Corinthians 7, where Paul addresses questions from the Corinthian church about marriage, singleness, and contentment. Living in a culture driven by achievement, relationships, and status, we often feel pressured to meet societal expectations—whether it’s having the “perfect” marriage, building a successful career, or having an ideal lifestyle. Paul’s words,…
