The Pattern of Grace and Glory
1 Timothy 1:12-17
In this study of 1 Timothy, we are called to consider the source of our power for ministry. Is God’s grace sufficient?
Hiding in the Gospel / 1 Cor 2:1-5
1 Corinthians 2:1-5 / We have learned that the gospel is the “power of God” unto those who believe. We have learned that the gospel is foolishness to the world but to us the true wisdom of God. But how to wear that power and how to wear that wisdom is often lost on us. Today Paul gives us a framework for what it means to hide ourselves in the gospel.
Faith to Be a Fool / 1 Cor 1:26-31
1 Corinthians 1:26-31 / Every Christian at some point has struggled with self-doubt, asking themselves “how can God use me”? In 1 Corinthians today we address the issues of faith, pride and humility. Why do some people refuse God? What are the implications of humbling ourselves enough to receive him? How can he make me useful in his mission?
Gold, Silver & Precious Stones
1 Corinthians 11:15
With Christ as the Believer's foundation, faith continues to be built with spiritual Gold, Silver, and Precious Stones. This sermon takes C&YA through a study of these materials' devotional applications and how to have them at the Judgement Seat.
Wisdom or Foolishness? / 1 Cor 1:18-25
1 Corinthians 1:18-25 / In Paul’s letter he recently addressed the disunity found among the believers in the church in Corinth. Today we find him uncovering the source of such disunity - human and worldly wisdom that makes the cross of Christ foolish. But what man call’s foolish, God calls wise and so we learn today how to live in the power of God’s wisdom.
Joined Together / 1 Cor 1:10-18
1 Corinthians 1:10-18 / In Paul’s letter to the church of Corinth, he begins addressing some of the specific issues that exist, namely divisions among the members. In todays sermon we take the time to consider how to have biblical unity in our church family and how to avoid some common pitfalls of division.
Greetings & Groundwork / 1 Cor 1:1-9
1 Corinthians 1:1-9 / As Paul opens his letter to Corinth, he begins with a cordial introduction. He is kind and generous in his acknowledgements but also strategic. Paul uses his greeting to lay the groundwork for the whole of the letter and to remind the church of some very important truths that perhaps they may have forgotten.
Welcome to Corinth
This sermon is an introduction to the book of 1 Corinthians. As we begin this series, we take time to empathize with the Apostle Paul as he weighs all that it will cost him to invest in the city of Corinth. We will ask ourselves the very personal question, ‘is our city worth the time, energy and faith required to see it redeemed for the glory of God?”

The Acts of the Apostles: The Ending We All Need
Acts 28:16-31 As we close out our study in Acts, Paul provides us with one more reminder of the faith, character and doctrine of the apostles. Just as abruptly as Paul story ends, ours begins. Will we take the gospel to a world in need of Jesus?
The Acts of the Apostles: We Are a Window to the Power of God
Acts 28:1-15 Paul is shipwrecked on the island of Malta and to top off an already crazy situation, he is bit by a poisonous snake and survives. Soon he is healing people from all over the island. Paul was gifted in a unique way by God, but we too have been gifted with the ability to be a sign of God’s magnificent power and love. Are you a window to the power of God?

The Acts of the Apostles: Facing the Winds
Acts 27:16-25 Paul is being taken by armed guard and ship to Rome to stand before Caesar’s tribunal. On the way, they face the Eurocyldon, a seasonal storm that threatens their very lives.

The Acts of the Apostles: When the Wind Blows
Acts 27:1-15 Paul, a prisoner of two years, sets out for Rome under the watch care of the Roman authorities. This windy sea journey becomes increasingly arduous and by the end of the chapter, it will be disastrous. In today's sermon, we learn to watch the movements of the wind in order to get a better idea of how the enemy seeks to undermine God’s plan for your life and make a disaster of your mission.
