Sermons by Rod Bunton
Setting Expectations
1 Corinthians 1:1-3 Paul begins this letter to the church at Corinth by reminding them who he is and who they are. Pastor Rod Bunton breaks down the densely packed introduction to this letter that sets the appropriate expectations for what comes next.
Many Failures
The church at Corinth had one underlying problem: they were immature Christians. This was manifested by many failures that Paul addressed in this letter. Pastor Rod Bunton continues his introduction to 1 Corinthians and highlights some of the failures that we will discover during this series.
One Underlying Problem
1 Corinthians 1:1-2a The church in Corinth had a solid foundation when Paul established it during one of his missionary travels, but years later he was moved to write a letter to address their current condition. Pastor Rod Bunton begins a new series on the first epistle to the church at Corinth and introduces the one underlying problem that Paul was addressing.
The Perfect Audience
Luke 2:7-11 After the birth of Jesus, an angel of the Lord appeared to shepherds out in the fields. Pastor Rod Bunton teaches why this was the perfect audience to hear the announcement of the birth of the savior.
The Most Important Event
Luke 2:1-7 The first seven verses in Luke Chapter 2 describe a remarkably ordinary event: the birth of a child in Bethlehem. Pastor Rod Bunton explains that this birth had to happen just right because it was, in reality, the most important event, ever.
