"Ladies and Gentlemen" is the twelfth sermon in this series. Biblical Complementarianism is a doctrine that our church holds to and is rooted in scriptural evidence. Paul outlines to the church in Corinth some principles that show that men and women are equal in value but varied in function. Male leadership in the church and female support in the church should be some of our highest goals.
"Major on the Majors" is the eleventh sermon in this series. Paul reminds the Corinthians as he sums up the topic of Christian liberties that there are more important things than the tertiary issues that divide them. He reminds them to use wisdom with their liberties, but to prioritize God’s glory and the mission above all else.
"History Repeats Itself" is the tenth sermon in this series. We can learn a great deal from history, particularly the spiritual history we see in the Bible. In 1 Corinthians 10 we learn historical lessons of idolatry from Old Testament Israel as well as the believers in Corinth.
"No Cheat Days" is the ninth sermon in this series. Gospel ministry requires intentionality and adaptability. Paul writes to the Corinthians that the purpose of his liberty is to become all things to all men in order to see the salvation of as many as possible. It is important for us to do the same and remain in relationships with those who need Christ most.
"Pay It Forward" is the eighth sermon in this series. Pastoral pay can be a controversial issue but Paul reiterates the teaching of Jesus that a laborer deserves his wages. Church leaders who work hard to further the gospel have a right to earn their living by the gospel, although they are not obligated to.
"Dos, Don'ts, & Maybes" is the seventh sermon in this series. Many Christians wrestle with questions of what they are “allowed” to do, what they must not do, and what they have liberty to do. Christian liberties can be a difficult balance and the Corinthians struggled with this as well. Paul addresses many of these principles in chapter 8 of 1 Corinthians.
"Put A Ring On It. Or Don't." is the sixth sermon in this series. There were a lot of single people in the church at Corinth who were hearing mixed messages on what to do about their relationship status. Paul clarifies that single people are free to pursue marriage, but are free for ministry if they remain single. Above all, the gospel remains central in the life of every believer, whether married or not.
"Stay Put" is the fifth sermon in this series. Paul gets on a little bit of a soapbox in this passage, taking principles he had applied to marriage and singleness, and applying them more broadly. God instructs us in this passage to be content and confident in the circumstances of our life. God has sovereignly orchestrated them for His glory and our good.
