Paul brings our focus to “pleasing God.” Sin is still an issue for Christians, but God always gives us a path out of it.

Sermons on Discipleship
Paul calls upon the Philippian church to imitate him, to live like he lives. We look at what it means to live as disciples who mimic, not students who fill our head with information.
“If you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” We hear and dwell upon this good news
Paul tells the church in Corinth that they, themselves, are a letter from God with the image of Christ, written in the ink of the Spirit. What does it mean to be a living testimony as a church?
Craig shares a homily on this Ash Wednesday, kicking off the season of Lent where we practice dying.
Here we have our final stop in 1 Corinthians for the year, once again focusing on the issue of resurrection. We see that God is not done with this place or these bodies, and we should not have our eyes on escape, but instead place our hope in resurrection.
Jumping to 1 Corinthians 15, Paul brings our focus to the bodily death and resurrection of Jesus.
We take a deep look at the famous “love passage” here in 1 Corinthians, finding not instructions for marriage, but instructions for the church. We are to love not only those who are easy to love, but those who aren’t.
We continue working through 1 Corinthians 12, finding Paul identifying the Corinthian church as the body of Christ. We look at what this means for us.
We begin moving through the latter section of 1 Corinthians, talking about Spiritual Gifts, the source of those gifts, and the way those gifts function in the church.
