Feel My Faith

What makes a worship service truly great? In 1 Corinthians 12-14 Paul offers some corrective measures for the Corinthians as they gather for worship. And you may be surprised that there is no mention of many of the things you might commonly think make worship great. In this message, we look at the first of several elements that make a worship service truly great.

On the first Sunday of each month we gather together for prayer and communion. What is communion? What do the elements represent? Communion helps us to identify with and remember the sacrifice Jesus made for us, His church.

You are burdened for your family and friends to know Christ. And you've invited them to church before but it wasn't effective. Why not?

Paul was effective in reaching the lost for Christ. 1 Corinthians 9 reveals his mentality and shows you how to win your friends and family to Christ.

When it comes to sex many believe that the Bible's message is that sex is bad. If that's the case, Christian singles and couples find it difficult to navigate a sexually charged culture and to deal with sexual desire.

But that's not the message. In 1 Corinthians 7, Paul clarifies the Biblical message about sex and dealing with strong desire for couples, singles, the engaged, and for those who are single again.

In this message we answer two questions from 1 Corinthians 5 and 6.

1. If I am to love my neighbor, shouldn't I be more tolerant of their sexual choices?
2. Are churches that are more sexually tolerant more culturally relevant?

The cultural mantra is that it's just sex and because it's my body then it should be my choice. But the Bible has a higher view of your body and teaches that there are greater consequences to our choices. In this message Brian will teach from 1 Corinthians 6:12-20 and show you how God wants to redeem your body and give you joyful, meaningful sex within marriage.

While Christian podcasts and Bible apps are useful tools, you should put a priority on personal time in the Word of God, prayer, and digesting the sermon at your home church. Your pastor may not have a cool podcast, but his preaching is important.

This is a continuation of the message, Why You Should Pay More Attention to Your Pastor's Sermon, Even If He Doesn't Have a Cool Podcast from 1 Corinthians 4.

Is the Sunday sermon important to you? It should be, but why? 1 Corinthians 4 teaches us why preaching is important how to listen to a sermon.

With so much Christian content, so many preachers and churches, how can we make sure we clearly hear the voice of God? Who's right? What's wrong? This message from 1 Corinthians 3 helps draw some conclusions from last week's message from 1 Corinthians 1 and 2.

Do you listen to preachers and podcasts? Who do you listen to and why? In this message we look at 1 Corinthians 1:18-2:16 to help you see through personalities and preferences and really get to what the Spirit is saying and how God is working in gospel preaching.

The church is the powerful and beautifully gifted people of God. Unfortunately ugly attitudes and actions can cover the powerful and beautiful and make the church unrecognizable. How does this happen? What are the corrective steps? HOW DO YOU RUIN A CHURCh? This message will cover 1 Corinthians 1:4-17.

Drama. Division. Scandal. Temptation. 1 Corinthians has it all . . .and so does the American church. What's right? What's wrong? In this message Brian gives an overview of 1 Corinthians so that you can read it with understanding. This message is the first in a sermon series on 1 Corinthians.

Many parents are intimidated by the questions their children ask about spiritual things. And while you may not have all of the answers, you can lead you children to the Lord. In this message we look at practical approaches and principles about sharing the gospel with your children.

In telling us what God doesn't want for our lives, He is telling us what He loves. Teach your children to love what God loves and you will teach your children to love God. If we love what God loves we are motivated to obey the commands. This message looks at the Ten Commandments from Exodus 20.

Barna research reports that 20% of young adults who grew up in church, but are leaving the church said that something was missing from their church experience. What was it?We can teach the content and use the right methods. But if this is missing we will not communicate our faith to our children. The answer is in Deuteronomy 6 and reflected in Psalm 145.

We hear the term "Christian home" but it isn't really a Christian home if someone just uses Christian words to cover up cultural parenting. How does the Bible define a Christian home? Why is it important?

This message covers Colossians 3:18-4:1

God commands us to love Him. But isn't giving a kid commands about the worst thing you could do if you want them to love God? Doesn't that take all the affection out of it? In this message Brian continues the sermon series on parenting entitled Teach Them Diligently by looking at the first 4 commandments found in Exodus 20.
