Discerning Gospel Community
Sensitivity To Holiness And The Wholeness Of Community.
We've all heard you must obey your conscience, but what is a conscience? And how does that connect to wisdom from above? In Chapter 8, Paul will teach us how to think about our sense of conscience as something that is developing towards a conscious awareness of God and learning to practice his presence in the day-to-day life and inside of community.
Singleness and the “Already/Not Yet.”
We learn in recovery that often times we are tempted to seek a geographical solution for a spiritual problem. So we think that our circumstances are the problem instead of learning how to be God's man or woman inside the circumstance itself. This Sunday, Paul will teach us to think about our our own context and how the gospel can be embodied and brought to bear in our day-to-day lives in the unique circumstances that each of us find ourselves.
The Gospel and Sexual Holiness
I would like to tell you guys a story of perhaps the most awkward and challenging experiences I have personally observed in church. What it taught me is that love is difficult. Sometimes we want to make love out to be a feeling when it requires thought and process. But if we walk that out, we get to see God's kingdom advance.
Gospel Power to be an Apostolic People
Paul says, "My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me." What does it mean to have a clear conscience? What does it mean to reign with Christ? How do these two things interconnect?
Judgement Day For The Believer
We are learning how to live out the gospel in community. Have you ever noticed that contending to win and contending for truth are often not the same? Contending for truth calls you to deal deeply with the inner person. In some ways this is at the heart of embracing Christ Crucified in community. So this week the call is to “Contend for the Gospel of Christ-Crucified inwardly and it will have power to build-up God’s people corporately."We are learning how to live out the gospel in community.

Gospel Wisdom Over Worldly Wisdom
Followers of Jesus are given the mind of Christ, but what does that mean? How do we learn to walk by the Spirit? What’s more, how do we know the difference between the Holy Spirit and our own thoughts? Join us this Sunday as we continue our series of Discerning Gospel Community with 1 Corinthians 2.
The Gospel Over Division
Paul says that our wisdom is “Christ Crucified”. But what does that mean? And how do we embrace that wisdom in everyday life as a community? Join us as we step into our Discerning Gospel Community series. It will be a walk through 1 Corinthians.
