Is it ok to smoke marijuana, watch R-rated movies, drink alcohol, wear skin-tight
clothing, have a tattoo, and have unfiltered access to the internet (all at once-Ha!)?
What does the Bible say about these things? The truth is that some of these things are
not as ‘black and white’ as we might think. We see right and wrong through various
lenses. How should we decide what to do in the ‘gray’ areas of life?
Join us this weekend to explore.

At Corinth they struggled with discontent, always looking to improve their status in some
way. Paul encourages them to “remain” in the condition they are in. Join us this
weekend to explore the dynamics of discontent and how to have an undivided heart
towards Jesus.
Also, to all 565 of our volunteers, we want to say thank you!

Are you satisfied with your relationship status? Do you feel that life would be more fulfilling if you just had a partner or if your partner were different? Join us this weekend as we turn to 1 Corinthians 7 to see what God has to say about how your relationship status can be fulfilling.

We are excited about seven people who will be baptized this weekend. Come to hear
their story and consider inviting a friend. After that we are planning a message about
prayer.
As we prepare ourselves for this next season of going to a second site and being a light
in an increasingly more turbulent world, we want to be sure that we are a praying church
and a praying people. Join us this weekend as we encourage each other around the
topic of prayer.

Like today, Greek culture said that the body does not affect the soul, that food and sex
are just natural appetites, and if you are hungry, you eat, and if you feel sexual, have
sex. The Bible, on the other hand, tells us that culture is deceiving us, driving us to
follow our passions, and the results are devastating on our lives and our communities.
We find a lot of brokenness around us because of people who just follow the lusts of
their flesh. So, what is the answer? Do we deny that we have these lusts?
Join us this weekend as we look at God’s design on how to handle our desires.

What role do the people around you play in shaping who you become? What if it was true that you are being shaped and molded right now by your community? Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

We can get comfortable, like the Corinthians in their super-city (settle in, don’t make
waves, ride the cultural trends and bide our time). Paul, as a spiritual father gets a little
sarcastic to reveal their hidden attitudes. He challenges them to dare to be different.
He shows by example what it means to be a disciple-maker instead of deadweight.
Join us this weekend to be challenged as a follower of Jesus.

What is the mark of a heart radically changed by Jesus?

“I help people”, “I share all kinds of advice,…”? Is it found in virtuous behavior?

I don’t think so. You can do all the right things filled with fear or pride or the desire to be noticed, or to feel good about yourself. So, what does it mean to have hearts that are changed at the root by the grace of God? How would you see that or recognize it?

I believe the answer is found in our text this week.
