Knowing Versus Knowing – Affection creates Attention

We will consider the following questions:·      What is the contrast/difference between God's wisdom and human/earthly wisdom or the wisdom of the world?·      How can one gain access to God's wisdom?·      What is the contrast/difference between the Spirit of God and the spirit of the world or the human spirit?·      What does it mean to have the mind of Christ?"Dr. Rubén del Pilar

Paul was an exceptional orator, compelling in rhetoric, and excellent in teaching. Yet he chose not to employ any of those gifts when sharing the gospel with those in Corinth, because he knew that intellectual assent and even emotional persuasion went only so far. Paul wanted spiritual transformation, and that could only happen through the power of God. Paul explained that what they received was wisdom from the depths of God.Joanne Hagemeyer

The world prizes power, success, and human wisdom—but God chose a very different way to save us. The cross, which seems foolish to some, reveals the wisdom and power of God. In 1 Corinthians 1:18–31 Paul challenges us to rethink what truly matters.Mari Hagemeyer & Steve Coleman

Instead of becoming the church God intended, Corinth was a church coming apart. Listen as we explore 1 Corinthians 1:10-18 and how that local assembly planted the seeds of its own destruction.Steve Coleman

Feeling stuck? Spiritually stale? What if your biggest spiritual problem isn’t what you’re doing—but what you’re seeing? The church in Corinth was divided, distracted, immature, and struggling with some very real problems. Yet Paul didn’t begin by telling them everything they were doing wrong. He began by changing their perspective. This week, Julie Coleman kicks off a new sermon series: 1 Corinthians: Becoming the Church God Intended. Before Paul tackles the problems, he lays a foundation: Who are we? What has God already done? And what is He still doing? Because sometimes getting unstuck doesn’t start with doing more. It starts with seeing differently. Listen and discover what happens when we begin to see the church—and ourselves—through God’s perspective.

Fall Holy and Feast Days - Unfulfilled, Future Prophetic EventsInterpreted as representing God dwelling with humanity in the age to come (Revelation 22), but in partial fulfillment points to the indwelling Holy Spirit.Joanne

Fall Holy and Feast Days - Unfulfilled, Future Prophetic EventsThe holy days have been celebrated ever since the Lord instituted them during the Exodus. Remembering them deepens the richness of our understanding of Messiah Jesus, in Whom all the festivals have been and will be fulfilled. Interpreted as pointing to the resurrection of believers, but in partial fulfillment points to every born again believer.Note: There were some sound issues in the first couple minutes but it clears at approximately 1:40.The time for reflection near the end has been greatly shortened.

What does true unity look like? The world has its own definition of unity: agreeing on the same ideas, sharing the same values, looking alike, or rallying around a common cause. But that kind of unity can be surprisingly superficial—and it can disappear the moment we disagree. This week, Julie Coleman leads us to discover that God’s vision for unity is far more challenging—and far more beautiful—than simply getting along. If you've ever wondered how Christians with different personalities, backgrounds, opinions, and gifts can genuinely become “one,” join us this Sunday as we explore God's surprising answer.

What if some of the things we’ve been taught to pursue in faith are actually meant to lead us somewhere deeper? This week is about curiosity, affection, and the possibility that God may be bigger than the box we’ve put Him in.Matt Divens
