Sermons on 1 Corinthians (Page 7)
Setting Expectations
1 Corinthians 1:1-3 Paul begins this letter to the church at Corinth by reminding them who he is and who they are. Pastor Rod Bunton breaks down the densely packed introduction to this letter that sets the appropriate expectations for what comes next.
Many Failures
The church at Corinth had one underlying problem: they were immature Christians. This was manifested by many failures that Paul addressed in this letter. Pastor Rod Bunton continues his introduction to 1 Corinthians and highlights some of the failures that we will discover during this series.
One Underlying Problem
1 Corinthians 1:1-2a The church in Corinth had a solid foundation when Paul established it during one of his missionary travels, but years later he was moved to write a letter to address their current condition. Pastor Rod Bunton begins a new series on the first epistle to the church at Corinth and introduces the one underlying problem that Paul was addressing.
Sanctification, Part 7
1 Corinthians 9:24–27 The apostle Paul compared our journey of growth in sanctification to an athletic contest where the competition is our own fleshly nature and the prize is much greater than what man can bestow. Pastor Rod Bunton encourages us from scripture to embrace righteousness and exercise self-control as he concludes his in-depth examination of the doctrine of Sanctification, another work of the Holy Spirit.
What if the Resurrection Didn’t Happen?
1 Corinthians 15:12-19 If there is no resurrection from the dead, then even Christ was not resurrected after his crucifixion. Pastor Rod Bunton teaches that our faith is useless and our hope for heaven is in vain if Christ wasn’t resurrected from death.
Resurrection – A Critical Part of the Gospel
Mark 16:1-11, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, 15-20 ~ The death of Jesus on the cross was an amazing sacrifice that paid the debt for sinners in the past, in the present, and in the future and yet, without the resurrection that followed, it would have accomplished nothing. Pastor Rod Bunton explains this critical part of the gospel and why we can trust that it really happened.
Caring for the Conscience
1 Corinthians 8 – Some are weak, some are ignored, but we all have consciences that we rely on to help us discern right from wrong. Pastor Doug Link uses this passage to teach us the Biblical view of dealing with the differences that exist between believers.
Singleness: The Gift and the Goal
1 Corinthians 7:17-35 ~ Pastor Ben Khazraee continues his study of what the Bible says about being single. In today’s message, we learn about living contentedly wherever God has placed us.
