Worship Schedule
2025

January 5 - Guest Preacher - Nathaniel Adawonu

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

January 19 - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - Guest Preacher - Michael Puckett

March 30 - 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 - 1 Corinthians 15:12-33
We have hope in our resurrection. What does this mean for living as a Christian now?

April 13 - 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 (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?
