Why We Gather, Part 1
In light of the current health crisis and also because of a generational shift in our culture, “going to church” has changed. In a short series, Pastor Rod Bunton focuses on the church and examines why we gather locally.
Resolving Pride
1 Corinthians 4:14-21 Having exposed and then rebuking the sin of pride in the Corinthian church, now Paul presents a resolution to their pride. Pastor Rod Bunton explains that Paul provides two options: humbling themselves or being humbled by God.
Rebuking Pride
1 Corinthians 4:9-13 Paul exposed the prideful ways of the Corinthian church because they saw themselves as believers who had arrived, even boasting about following certain apostles. Pastor Rod Bunton shows how Paul contrasted that to the humble lives of the apostles, the very people the church was adoring, who saw themselves as the bottom of the barrel.
Peace in the Face of a Hostile Culture
Psalm 4 During David’s reign as king, he faced much adversity from those in his kingdom and even from his own family. Pastor Ben Khazraee, in a message with particular relevance in today’s climate, reveals how we, like David, can find peace in a hostile culture.
Exposing Pride
1 Corinthians 4:6-7 The underlying problem in the Corinthian church was their pride and Paul uses this passage to expose it. Pastor Rod Bunton helps us understand how pride manifested itself in that church and in our own lives and also how it robs God of his glory and is the enemy of our sanctification.
Theological Criticism
1 Corinthians 4:1-5 Paul was not a perfect person nor was he immune to personal criticism, but he was facing distorted judgment with regard to his teaching. Pastor Rod Bunton explains this passage where Paul defends his theological position and approach to teaching the Gospel.
Biblical Elements of Corporate Worship
We are commanded by God to worship him, but does it really matter how we do it? Pastor Doug Link tells us that God does indeed care about how we do it and his Word tells us what is acceptable and pleasing to him.
The Folly of Worldly Wisdom
1 Corinthians 3:18-23 Since early in this letter, Paul has been addressing the problem of disunity within the church. In this passage, he examines the threat of human wisdom that was contributing to that problem. Pastor Rod Bunton shows us how, especially today, we have become foolishly confident in our ability to solve problems, relying on our own solutions that separate us instead of becoming unified by diving deeper into Christ and His word.
The Day of Rewards
1 Corinthians 3:13-17, 2 Corinthians 5:6-10 In a conclusion to this passage, Paul taught the Corinthian church that their work on earth, revealed by fire, would result in rewards for some believers. Pastor Rod Bunton dives deeper into that day, called the Judgment Seat of Christ, in which the Lord will judge believers.
Revealed by Fire
1 Corinthians 3:10-13 The teaching in the Corinthian church had become influenced by culture and showed evidence of fearing man more than God. Pastor Rod Bunton explains how Paul likened this to building with wood, hay, and straw which will be consumed when tested by fire.
Preserving the Foundation
1 Corinthians 3:10-12 When Paul started the church at Corinth, he built it on a doctrinal foundation based on Christ. Pastor Rod Bunton reinforces Paul’s warning to carefully watch the teaching so that the foundation does not change.
God Gives the Growth
1 Corinthians 3:4-7 Another sign of disunity that Paul saw in the Corinthian church was that some members were elevating various speakers teaching God’s word over the message itself. Pastor Rod Bunton reminds us that all teachers and preachers of the gospel are merely instruments in God’s hand.
