Pastor Kent Prescott challenges the congregation to understand that the fear of the Lord—properly understood as awe, reverence, and respect rather than terror—is the beginning of wisdom. He presents the vision that the church should produce generation after generation of wise men and women who can mentor younger believers. The message clarifies that Proverbs offers observations about wise living rather than promises or prophecies, and encourages believers to live "with the grain of the universe"—in alignment with God's created order. The sermon concludes with practical invitations to engage with Proverbs over the coming weeks and to examine whether one is on the path to becoming a wise person who blesses their family and city.</p> <p>This sermon introduces a seven-week summer series on the book of Proverbs, emphasizing that wisdom is not merely intellectual knowledge but "skill in living."

The message traces the historical development of communion theology from the early church through the Reformation, acknowledging that faithful Christians have understood this practice differently throughout history. Rather than insisting on one correct interpretation, the sermon presents communion as simultaneously a common meal that unites believers, a memorial of Christ's sacrifice, a thanksgiving celebration, a practice that transcends time connecting past and future, and ultimately a mystery where Christ is present in ways beyond our full understanding. The sermon challenges believers to approach communion with humility, examining their hearts for unforgiveness while recognizing the sacred nature of this meal that the global church has practiced for two millennia.</p> <p>This sermon explores the rich theology and practice of communion through 1 Corinthians 11:17-34, where Paul addresses the Corinthian church's misuse of the Lord's Supper.

Pastor Julie Van Hove explores the cultural context of Paul's instructions to the Corinthian church, distinguishing between timeless truths and cultural practices. The central message affirms that men and women are "interdependent partners, fully capable and fully called" in Christ. Paul's concern was not establishing hierarchy but preventing secondary cultural issues from hindering the gospel. The sermon emphasizes that Jesus elevated women as partners in ministry, breaking cultural norms, and that the early church included women in leadership roles of praying and prophesying. The passage's use of "head" is better understood as "source" rather than "authority," pointing to mutual interdependence rather than subordination. The church is called to gift-based rather than gender-based ministry, recognizing and releasing the Holy Spirit's gifts in all believers regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, or background.</p> <p>This sermon addresses one of the more challenging passages in Scripture—1 Corinthians 11—regarding gender roles, head coverings, and women's place in church leadership.

Through 1 Corinthians 10, the Apostle Paul addresses the Corinthian church's question about meat sacrificed to idols, but the underlying issue is more universal: How do we maintain deep connection with non-believers while remaining distinctly formed by the gospel? Paul doesn't provide a simple rulebook but instead offers a framework centered on love and God's glory. He establishes two absolutes—flee from sexual immorality and idolatry—while leaving room for Spirit-led discernment in gray areas. The central principle is found in verse 31: "Whatever you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God." This framework requires asking three key questions: Is it loving? Does it bring glory to God? Is it worth copying? Paul demonstrates that glorifying God and experiencing joy are not in competition; rather, we were made to glorify God, and when we do, we function as intended. The sermon concludes by pointing to Jesus as the ultimate example of living within this framework, who gave up everything out of love and for the joy set before Him.</p> <p>This sermon explores how Christians can faithfully follow Jesus while living in a culture that doesn't share their values.

Pastor Jason warns the Corinthian believers—and contemporary Christians—against trusting in their knowledge, experiences, or religious practices while neglecting humility and dependence on God. Using Israel's wilderness failures as cautionary examples, Paul demonstrates how God's people can possess every spiritual blessing yet still fall into idolatry, sexual immorality, and grumbling. The sermon emphasizes that we live between two ages—the present evil age and the age to come inaugurated by Christ—and calls believers to embrace poverty of spirit rather than self-reliance. The message concludes with hope: God is faithful and provides a way through temptation by the power of the Holy Spirit and the sympathetic presence of Jesus who was tempted yet remained sinless.</p> <p>This sermon from 1 Corinthians 10:1-13 addresses the danger of confusing spiritual privilege with spiritual maturity.

Rather than freedom being the right to do whatever we want, Paul demonstrates in 1 Corinthians 9 that followers of Jesus are free from the things that keep us from becoming who God sees us becoming, and free to serve God and others. The Apostle Paul models this by voluntarily laying down his legitimate rights—including his right to be paid as an apostle—for the sake of advancing the gospel in Corinth. True Christian freedom means being so secure in our identity in Christ that we no longer need to be self-protective, and can instead sacrificially love others. Paul's principle of becoming "all things to all people" demonstrates deep identification with others while maintaining Christian distinction. Like Jesus who fully identified with humanity by taking on flesh and dying on the cross, we are called to enter into others' worlds for their sake, laying aside our rights, preferences, and need to always be right, so that people can clearly see Jesus and experience His love.</p> <p>This sermon explores how Christian freedom is radically different from worldly freedom.

Using the case study of meat sacrificed to idols, Paul teaches that knowledge without love is destructive, while love builds up the community. The sermon emphasizes that Christian maturity is not measured by how much freedom we can claim, but by how willingly we lay down our rights for others. Just as Christ entered into our weakness to restore us, believers are called to restrict their freedoms in love, preferring others and meeting them at their point of need. The core theological truth is that every person is someone for whom Christ died, and this reality should shape how we use our freedom within the family of God.</p> <p>This sermon explores 1 Corinthians 8, addressing how early Christians navigated living faithfully in a non-Christian culture.

Drawing from 1 Corinthians 7 and Matthew 19, the message emphasizes that both singleness and marriage are equal kingdom gifts that enable undivided devotion to the Lord. Jesus, through His own unmarried life, modeled a fully flourishing human existence that doesn't require marriage, sex, or children. The sermon calls the church to honor both vocations equally, recognizing that true completeness comes through relationship with God and life together in His family. The vision is for a church where no one feels more whole because they're married or less whole because they're single, and where all members—regardless of relationship status—belong to each other as the integrated family of God.</p> <p>This sermon explores the biblical teaching on singleness as a positive gift from God, challenging cultural assumptions that marriage is necessary for completeness.

Pastor Josh emphasizes that following Jesus means learning to live differently in every area of life, including sexuality and relationships. The message challenges both cultural extremes—making marriage/sex everything or making them nothing—and returns to the biblical foundation of Genesis 2 where sex is presented as a covenant sign of whole-life self-giving between husband and wife. Paul's instruction to the Corinthian church navigates between sexual indulgence and body-denying asceticism, calling married couples to mutual submission and honor. The sermon stresses that we are "different now" in Christ—our bodies belong first to Jesus, and in marriage, spouses yield themselves to one another in covenant love that reflects Christ's sacrificial love for the church. Throughout, the message balances the need for God's word (providing boundaries and protection) with the need for God's grace (offering redemption and healing for all brokenness).</p> <p>This sermon addresses how the gospel transforms our understanding of sex and marriage within the context of 1 Corinthians 7.

The pastor systematically examines the evidence for the resurrection through the empty tomb and post-resurrection appearances, establishing that this event is either true for everyone or not true at all. The sermon emphasizes that the resurrection is not an isolated miracle but the culmination of God's promise to restore broken humanity, representing the first day of a new creation. Through the transformative encounters of Mary Magdalene and Peter with the risen Jesus, the message illustrates how the resurrection turns brokenness into beauty, shame into worth, and fear into hope. The sermon challenges listeners to recognize that while Jesus forced his way out of the grave, he will not force his way into our lives—he knocks and waits for us to welcome him in.</p> <p>This Easter sermon presents the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ as a "true, true" historical event that demands a response rather than just a religious preference.

The pastor emphasizes that followers of Jesus are "different now" and must view their bodies as holy temples where God dwells through the Holy Spirit. The message challenges the cultural notion that sex is merely recreational activity for consenting adults, instead presenting the biblical view that sexual intimacy creates a profound "one flesh" unity designed exclusively for marriage between husband and wife. The sermon calls believers to flee from sexual immorality (porneia), not to earn God's approval, but because they already belong to Christ and have been bought at the price of His broken body. The pastor emphasizes God's high view of the physical body, reminding listeners that Jesus died for the whole person—body, soul, and spirit—and that believers have an embodied future in the resurrection. The message concludes with invitations to surrender to Christ, bring bodies under Jesus' lordship, and receive healing from shame and sin related to sexuality.</p> <p>This sermon explores 1 Corinthians 6:12-20, addressing the Corinthian church's struggle with sexual immorality in a culture where such behavior was widely accepted.

The message emphasizes that conversion is not an arrival at spiritual maturity but rather "the acquisition of a compass" for the journey ahead. Through Paul's story—from murderous persecutor of Christians to apostle to the Gentiles—we see that God can transform anyone regardless of their past. The sermon highlights that discernment of God's calling often takes years and happens through committed spiritual community rather than isolated individual effort. Paul's 20-year journey from his Damascus road encounter to his ministry in Corinth demonstrates that faithful presence in community, submission to spiritual authority, and patient waiting are essential for discovering and living into God's unique calling for each person's life.</p> <p>This sermon launches a new series through 1 Corinthians by examining the Apostle Paul's dramatic conversion and gradual calling.

The message emphasizes that God is not merely loving but that love is His very nature—a self-sacrificing, others-focused love that pursues, redeems, and transforms. The sermon contrasts agape love with selfish, self-focused love (incurvatus), challenging believers to move beyond "enlightened self-interest" toward Christ-shaped sacrificial love. Through the Christmas story, we see that God's kingdom advances not through power or coercion but through self-giving love. The sermon calls believers to open themselves to the Holy Spirit's transforming work, allowing God's love to flow through them to a watching world.
