Scripture: 1 Corinthians 16:1-4 Teaching Pastor Aaron Buer discusses Paul’s directions to the Corinthian church about a collection for the Jerusalem church. In this conversation, we see clear instructions for pursuing generosity in our lives. We are challenged to pursue generosity worshipfully, universally, systematically, proportionately and freely. 1 Corinthians 16:1-4

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12:12-27 Senior Pastor Jeff Manion discusses Paul’s instructions concerning spiritual gifts. Paul reminds the Corinthian church they are a body and each part is significant.

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 11:17-34 Senior Pastor Jeff Manion discusses Paul’s instruction to the Corinthian church concerning the Lord’s Supper. Through this conversation, we see that the church is supposed to be a place where we are connected to those we would otherwise have very little in common with, regardless of social status, education or wealth. This connection is because Christians are all deeply flawed but radically forgiven through the work of Jesus on the cross. 1 Corinthians 11:17-34

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 9:7-27 Senior Pastor Jeff Manion discusses Paul’s response to a question from the Corinthian church. Through his response, we see how asking a radically different question can radically change our relationships. Instead of demanding our rights, when we choose to give them up, we can remove roadblocks from people beginning to follow Jesus. 1 Corinthians 9:7-27

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 8:1-13 Teaching Pastor Aaron Buer talks about eating meat sacrificed to idols. This conversation, though on the surface lacks a parallel to our lives, has big implications for the way we live. We see how the importance of being right in the right way, what to do when the belief in our head doesn’t match the feelings of our heart and that because we are family we need to be sensitive to the struggles of those around us. 1 Corinthians 8:1-13

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 5:1-13 Teaching Pastor Aaron Buer unpacks a difficult passage about how to deal with a Jesus-follower who is blatantly disregarding God’s plan for living. Through this conversation, we see how the Jesus-community should hold each other uniquely accountable to living the way God instructs. This accountability is for the health of both the person and the community. 1 Corinthians 5:1-13

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:5-17 Senior Pastor Jeff Manion shows us how Paul addresses divisions within the church at Corinth by looking at the three locations of the field, the building, and the temple. We see that being a Christian isn’t personality or differences-driven, but instead about the weakness and humility Jesus showed on the cross. That’s the foundation of following Jesus. Still, we need to be careful to build on the foundation with weakness and humility because the gathered believers of Jesus are God’s temple, his dwelling place. 1 Corinthians 3:5-17

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:5-17 Senior Pastor Jeff Manion shows us how Paul addresses divisions within the church at Corinth. We see that being a Christian isn’t personality or differences driven, but instead is about the weakness and humility Jesus showed on the cross. That’s the foundation to following Jesus, but we also need to be careful to be building upon the foundation with weakness and humility because the gathered believers of Jesus are God’s temple, his dwelling place. 1 Corinthians 3:5-17

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:1-7 Senior Pastor Jeff Manion discusses one of the most well-known passages in the Bible – 1 Corinthians 13. In this conversation, we see that we can have the greatest gifts and talents, but if we don’t use them out of love, it is worthless. After walking through the 15 habits of love, we are encouraged to begin a 9-week challenge focusing on 2 or 3 of the habits of love each day. 1 Corinthians 13:1-7

Scripture: Acts 17:16-34 Teaching Pastor Aaron Buer discusses Paul’s experience in Athens. Paul is deeply troubled for the people far from God in Athens and moves toward them. Through this conversation, we see how Jesus-followers need to be troubled for the people around us because that is the heart of God. Paul’s message to the Athenians gives us a pattern we can use to talk about Jesus to those around us. Acts 17:16-34

Scripture: Acts 17:10-15 Teaching Pastor Aaron Buer discusses what made the Berean’s character noble. Through this conversation, we see two character traits of the Bereans and how they responded. The Bereans were open to God, anchored in the Bible and ready to serve. The example of the Bereans is timely for us today. Acts 17:10-15

Scripture: Acts 17:1-10 Senior Pastor Jeff Manion’s conversation centers on Paul’s time in Thessalonica.

We are also challenged to be wounded healers. Acts 17:1-10.

Scripture: Acts 16:12-40 Senior Pastor Jeff Manion teaches on Paul’s encounters in Philippi.

Acts 16:12-40
