If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.— Romans 12:18 (NIV) Do not cause anyone to stumble, whether Jews, Greeks or the church of God— 1 Corinthians 10:32 (NIV) As we continue our study through 1 Corinthians, we come again to Paul’s teaching about Christian freedom and…
As our study through 1 Corinthians continues, Paul turns to another question the Corinthian believers had asked: What should Christians do about food sacrificed to idols? At first glance, this may seem like a question that belongs entirely to the ancient world. But Paul uses the issue to address something much deeper: how should Christians…
The Christian life was never meant to be lived alone. As we continue our study through 1 Corinthians, Paul moves into one of the most complicated chapters in the letter. First Corinthians 7 addresses questions about marriage, singleness, sexuality, divorce, and the circumstances in which believers find themselves. These were difficult questions for the Corinthian…

This week, we explored what Scripture reveals about the eternal harmony of the Triune God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—and why that truth reshapes how we understand love,…
In our previous message, “The Trinity: Revealed, Not Invented,” we explored how the Christian understanding of God as Father, Son, and Spirit is not a human idea, but something God reveals about Himself in Scripture. This week, we took the next step: seeing how that Triune God is actively at work in the world —…
In John 14, Jesus reminds his disciples that he’s not merely pointing them in the way of truth and life…he IS the way, he IS the truth, and he IS the life. Jesus then connects this to knowing him, validating that he is not interested in “transactional” religion, but that God is deeply committed to…
