Sermons

We need more encouragers, and less critics. We ought to aim to be the kind of people who lift others up, refresh others, and speak life into their life, rather than weigh them down and burden them. Those who serve among us ought to be honored for their dedication and sacrifice, and they need us to help spur them on. ABOUT THIS 1 CORINTHIANS SERIES: Life is messy. Church life is messy. Every church has problems, because every church is made up of people. But God has called His people to come together to live life alongside each other and to encourage and carry each other, even amid difficult and challenging circumstances. The Apostle Paul planted a church in Corinth, Greece, and it very quickly became a church that dealt with many problems. They lacked maturity and wisdom, despite being a very gifted church. 1 Corinthians is a fatherly challenge and guide to them to help them get back on track and grow in the wisdom they need.
