The Better Story of Sex - 1 Cor. 6:12-20 - Pastor Tom Harr

The purpose of sexuality is something far greater than we typically think. While others consign it to lesser goals, sex is a signpost that points us to the God who made us and how he chooses to have a relationship with his people.

Do We Have What It Takes? - Acts 1:1-11 - Dr. Craig DiBenedictis

Do Not Be Deceived - 1 Cor.6:9-11 - Pastor Tom Harr

Beneath the cultural controversies and beyond the emotional arguments, what does the Bible actually say about homosexuality? God offers more than rules about our sexuality. He gives us a better story.

What Are You Building? - 1 Cor. 14:12 - Seth Stokes

Even though everyone strives after various things in this life, in contrast, the Christian is commanded to excel only in a few things. The Christian is commanded to excel in the building up and encouraging of other believers. To edify, to build up, encourage other believers, it takes work and intentionality.

Inheriting God's Kingdom - 1 Cor. 6:9-11 - Pastor Tom Harr

Sin deceives us with empty promises, but God transforms the consequences into an eternal inheritance

The End of Striving - Eccles. 1:16-2:11

The quest for satisfaction is a universal human experience. But is there anything in the world that can satisfy the human heart? All of the answers prove themselves to be worthless… except one.

Settling Disputes - 1 Cor. 6:1-8 - Pastor Tom Harr

When Christians can’t reconcile differences among themselves they slander the gospel’s power. If (relatively small) disputes among God’s people can’t be resolved, then what hope is there for the infinitely deeper dispute between us and God? Thankfully, God lives out his own counsel.

Divided to Save - 1 Cor. 5 - Pastor Tom Harr

Sin is serious because it removes us from God’s presence and the safety of his community. But forgiveness and restoration are available through the work of Jesus.

Is Christ Divided? 1 Cor. 1:10-17 - Pastor Tom Harr

At a time when Christians are continually being tempted to splinter into factions over almost any issue, Paul confronts disunity in the Corinthian church by appealing to a unity that can be found only in Jesus.

• Appeal to Unity
• Need for Unity
• Source of Unity

Last Words - 2 Samuel 23:1-7 - Pastor Tom Harr

In his last words, David gives us the ‘key takeaway’ of his life: God’s secures for his people an eternal ‘home’ that is guaranteed by his covenant promise and the righteous king Jesus who ultimately fulfills it.
