Worship Schedule
2025

January 5 - Week 1
Guest Preacher - Nathaniel Adawonu

January 12 - Week 2
1 Corinthians 9:19-10:13

January 19 - Week 3
1 Corinthians 10:14-22
What is idolatry and how do we participate in it? Idolatry is a serious matter and is a gateway to the spiritual realm determining what and who we will worship. God's love for his people brings strong warning concerning idolatry and instructs us concerning the jealous love of God's for those whom he is redeeming.

January 26 - Week 4
1 Corinthians 10:23-31
If we have been given a great salvation should we live in a manner of just getting by spiritually? If we are to love God with all our heart and our neighbor as we love ourselves then salvation has to be more than climbing your spiritual treehouse, closing the door, and posting a sign that says "keep out". With salvation our lives shift from glorifying self to glorifying God.

February 2 - Week 5
1 Corinthians 11:1-16
We struggle with authority; having it, keeping it, submitting to it, but it is something we cannot avoid. So how does this relate to men and women, the role of gender, all under the authority of God. How are we to live as men and women in the world when men and women are so very different? Is this fight between men and women something Christians should be having or should Christians see something else in the created order that glorifies God and leads to peace of the heart and peace between men and women?

February 9 - Week 6
1 Corinthians 11:17-33
What constitutes a sacrament and why does it matter? If the Lord's table is a sacrament, what then does that mean and how should we come to the table? What does this mean for the dinner party at the Lord's table, should it be one of factions, of looking around to see who is most important, of one-upping each other, or should a dinner party with the Lord be one of humility, service, deference, lowly of spirit, in order to exalt the one who has invited us all there?

February 16 - Week 7
1 Corinthians 12:1-11
If we belong to Christ the Holy Spirit is at work in us to produce fruit, some of this fruit is manifested in spiritual gifts. These gifts are given by the Holy Spirit for the exaltation of Christ and the edification of the body; to proclaim the dominion of Christ and the authority of the church on the earth. This is the will of the Holy Spirit and we should submit to his authority and use our gifts in step with his will.

February 23 - Week 8
1 Corinthians 12:12-31
When you become a disciple of Christ you are part of the church, the body of Christ. When this happens you are no longer your own, but are now part of a body of people who believe in a common power and authority in Jesus as king. Therefore, if you see only some people as necessary and others as expendable, then you dishonor the Savior that saved them. We are to function as a body to the ultimate glory of Christ, suffering and rejoicing together as Christ has suffered and rejoiced with us.

March 2 - Week 9
1 Corinthians 13
Perfect love casts out fear. Fear is from the evil one and is used to undermine the faith of the saints. We are not to fear the punishment of the Lord, but fear him in reverence and awe, worshipping him with his saving love as our motivation.

March 9 - Week 10
1 Corinthians 13
Love is the chief factor in keeping the law. Jesus called us to keep his commands, but to do so because we love him. Those that love him, he said, will keep his commands. We can take up causes and projects and seek to do good in the world, but if we neglect loving God then our works are dead.

March 16 - Week 11
1 Corinthians 14:1-25
Spiritual gifts revisited, but in the context of worship. How is worship inherently evangelistic? Do we need to make it accessible to non-Christians or should we enter into worship knowing they will not understand because they do not have the Holy Spirit, believing that what they experience is the true worship of God, and they will turn from their sin and turn to Christ.

March 23 - Week 12
Guest Preacher - Michael Puckett

March 30 - Week 13
1 Corinthians 14:26-40
Worship should have an orderly environment. Who is responsible for overseeing the order and how should people conduct themselves in worship. Paul makes some controversial statements about women in worship. How should we understand Paul's instruction to women in present culture and in the church?

April 6 - Week 14
1 Corinthians 15:12-33
We have hope in our resurrection. What does this mean for living as a Christian now?

April 13 - Week 15
1 Corinthians 15: 35-58
What is the nature of our bodies after the resurrection? What is life everlasting and what will it be like?

April 17
(Maundy Thursday) No Sermon

April 20 - Week 16
(Easter Sunday)
1 Corinthians 15:1-19
Resurrection Sunday! Did Jesus rise from the dead, and if so, how does the resurrection serve as the most important event for Christians and why?

April 27 - Week 17
Galatians 2:11-21

May 4 - Week 18
Galatians 3:1-14

May 11 - Week 19
Romans 3:21-31
The Gospel is the free gift of God unto justification. We receive from God a unilateral covenant composed entirely of God's gracious act to justify sinners.

May 18 - Week 20
Hebrews 8:1-13
The Old Covenant leads to the necessity of a New Covenant. By this New Covenant we are justified through the mediation of a great high priest that goes to God on our behalf.

May 25 - Week 21
John 17:6-19
We are sanctified and set apart for God through Jesus Christ. We are to be holy as God is holy. This is his plan of redemption, that we be freed from slavery to the law and sin and born into life through Jesus Christ.

June 1 - Week 22
Guest Preacher - Michael Puckett

June 8 - Week 23
Guest Preacher - Chris Eckart
 
June 15 - Week 24
Ephesians 4:17-32
Since we have been raised to life in Christ so through the renewing of our minds we are to think and act contra mundum; that is, against the world. We are being conformed into the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.
 
June 22 - Week 25
Psalm 63
Our sanctification requires a clinging to God by walking with the Spirit. How do we worship and pray as we work out our salvation in fear and trembling?
 
June 29 - Week 26
Philippians 1:12-26
Who do we live in the world as we are being sanctified by God. How do we know what to do and how to do it as we try to follow Christ battling a world that rejects him and the power of the flesh in us at work against the Spirit that testifies of God's salvation?
 
July 6 - Week 27
Paul Winstead
 
July 13 - Week 28
Galatians 3:23-4:7
If we are God's adopted children what does this mean in Biblical terms? How does God see our relationship with him and what new status do we have in Christ? Adoption adds a whole new element to salvation. It means we are no longer cut off from the inheritance, but we have been made sons with a future.
 
July 20 - Week 29
 
July 27 - Week 30
John 8:48-59
Jesus makes a direct claim that he is God. He invokes the story of Moses at the burning bush where God gives Moses the name "I Am". Jesus takes on this name claiming that he is the eternal God.

August 3 - Week 31
John 6:22-59
Jesus is the bread of life. Man will not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from God. Jesus is that word and that word is the bread of life. As the children of Israel received manna from heaven so Jesus is the bread that comes down from heaven. Those who eat this bread will live forever.

August 10 - Week 32
John 8:12-30
Jesus is the light of the world. Man walks in darkness and is separated from God. Those who look to Christ will find light to guide their path. The Psalmist says your word is a light and a lamp. Jesus is the word that is the light that shows the way.

August 17 - Week 33
John 10:1-10
Jesus is the door that provides access to God. You can only enter through the correct door. If you try to get into heaven a different way you will be denied. Only through Christ can someone have salvation.

August 24 - Week 34
John 10:11-18
Jesus is the good shepherd. He is the shepherd of Psalm 23 and the eternal shepherd of God's sheep. What does it mean that Jesus is our shepherd? How should we understand him as our leader, authority, protector, and caregiver?

August 31 - Week 35
John 11:11-17
Jesus is the the resurrection and the life. The only source of life is God. Death has a hold on humanity and we are bound and enslaved by the law that condemns us unto death. Only through the power of Jesus can we find new life and resurrection unto eternal life.

September 7 - Week 36
John 14:1-14
Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. The truth will set you free. Those who put there faith in the truth of the Gospel as it relates to Christ will find their way and will experience eternal life.
September 14 - Week 37
 
September 21 - Week 38
John 15:1-17
Jesus is the true vine. If you are not connected to him in life then there is no life in you. Those who are not connected to Jesus are cut off and cast into the fire, but those who are branches on the vines will produce fruit for the eternal kingdom of God.
