1 Corinthians - Week 5

Pastor Marshall Ochs | November 10, 2019

In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from 1 Corinthians 10-11. In these chapters, Paul continues to answer the church's questions about living a life of obedience to Jesus. He explains the difference between buying meat sacrificed to idols and participating in idol worship ceremonies. He cautions Christians to use their freedom for the good of God's kingdom rather than personal fulfillment, and he corrects the church's mishandling of communion. While some of these issues are not relevant to our lives as Christians today, the principles Paul explains are a benefit to us.

1 Corinthians - Week 4

Pastor Marshall Ochs | November 3, 2019

In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from 1 Corinthians 8-9. In these chapters, Paul continues to respond to the church's questions about living out their faith. Specifically, can a Christian eat meat that was sacrificed to idols? Paul’s response helps the church ask a better question; should a Christian eat meat that was sacrificed to idols. Technically, a Christian has the right to eat whatever they want, but just because we have the freedom to do something doesn’t mean we should take the liberty to do so. Paul’s answer helps us understand how to think about issues of maturity in the church and how we should treat other believers who act immature.

1 Corinthians - Week 2

Pastor Marshall Ochs | October 20, 2019

In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from 1 Corinthians 3-4. In these chapters, Paul continues to correct this young church about treating leaders like celebrities. Paul instructs the church that leaders are more like waiters at a restaurant, contractors building a home, masters of a house, or fathers. This was an important message for the church in Corinth, and it is an essential message for us today. Leadership is about serving God’s people and managing God’s resources, not being served and hoarding resources for personal wealth.

1 Corinthians - Week 1

Pastor Marshall Ochs | October 13, 2019

In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from 1 Corinthians 1-2. The church in Corinth has started comparing teachers and baptisms and treating leaders in the church like celebrities. Paul reminds them that this is not how he taught them to live as new Christians. Their decisions to embrace this celebrity culture is a sign that they are living ungodly lives and should repent. This message reminds us that in God’s family, there are no celebrities, only servants.

Pride and Possessions

Preston Scott | October 6, 2019

In this message, Preston teaches from 2 Kings 5. In this passage, the prophet told Naaman the leper that he could be healed if he went into the Jordan river seven times. This story shows us that Naaman’s pride had to be washed away with his leprosy and the prophet’s servant needed to be cleansed of a desire for possessions. We should use this story to examine our hearts for the sins of pride and possessions as well.
