At the heart of today’s message is Paul’s challenge to the church: pursue love with urgency, even as you desire spiritual gifts. Christian Daniel takes us through 1 Corinthians 14:1–19, unpacking the purpose and place of tongues and prophecy within the body of Christ.Love is not a bonus feature of the Christian life—it is the *foundation*. Without love, our gifts are noise; with love, even five simple words can build up the church. As we grow in our spiritual gifts, we’re reminded that the ultimate goal is not personal expression, but communal edification. We don’t use our gifts for self, but for others—because love always puts others first.* Pursue love as if your life depends on it—because it does.* Desire spiritual gifts, but never apart from love.* Let all you do—whether prophecy, tongues, or silence—be for the good of your brother or sister in Christ.This sermon brings a powerful call to action: how will you intentionally pursue love this week?🙏 Join Us for Worship✨ You are invited to join us Sundays at 10 AM for live stream and in-person services.

In this powerful message titled*"A More Excellent Way," Pastor Joel continues our journey through 1 Corinthians, turning from the gifts of the Spirit in chapter 12 to the heart of the kingdom in chapter 13—love.

While spiritual gifts are vital and miraculous, Paul makes it clear that without love, they mean nothing. Love is not merely a feeling or a poetic idea—it is the essence of who God is, the defining trait of Christ, and the mark of true discipleship. Pastor Joel unpacks what love is, what it is not, and how we are called to live it out—not just receive it, but to reflect it.

* Christ-centered gifts must be rooted in love to bear fruit
* Love is patient, kind, humble, enduring—and it never fails
* Without love, our faith, generosity, and even martyrdom profit nothing
* God's Spirit bears the fruit of love in us when we walk in His grace
* Love is the only eternal force that will never cease

If we want to be a church that glorifies God, we must walk in this love. Let us renew our commitment to live out our faith in a way that reflects the heart of Christ to one another and to the world around us.

In this powerful message, Pastor Joel unpacks the rich truth of *1 Corinthians 12*, reminding us that God has uniquely graced each member of the body of Christ with spiritual gifts—for one purpose: the common good. From wisdom and healing to faith and discernment, the Holy Spirit distributes these gifts as He wills, empowering us to function as one united, Christ-centered body.

* Discover the biblical purpose of spiritual gifts—not for personal gain, but for the edification of others
* Learn why being *aware* of the Holy Spirit’s work is essential in our post-modern world
* Be challenged to value every member of the body and the distinct grace God has placed on their lives
* Reflect on how you can yield to the Spirit and walk in the unique calling God has placed on you

This sermon is a call to unity, humility, and faith—a reminder that we need the grace of God in each other’s lives to truly become and build the Kingdom Community God desires.

What does it mean to truly examine ourselves before the Lord? In this powerful message, Pastor Joel walks us through one of the most profound teachings on communion found in Scripture. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 11, we’re reminded that the Lord’s table is not a common ritual, but a sacred moment of communion with Christ and with one another as *one body*.

* Learn the difference between *tradition* and *biblical tradition*
* Understand the *consecrated nature* of communion and why it must not be taken lightly
* Explore the *mystery and beauty* of Christ's presence in the communion elements.
* Discover why *self-examination* is essential to a meaningful walk with God
* Be challenged to pursue *unity in the body of Christ* and reject divisions and factions

This message is a sobering and grace-filled reminder that the life of a believer must be one of reverence, reflection, and relationship—with Christ and with His people. Come to the table not out of habit, but with a heart ready to remember, repent, and receive.

In this powerful message, we’re reminded of the apostle Paul’s urgent call to the church: “Whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” Through a rich reflection on Israel’s wilderness journey and the dangers of spiritual complacency, Pastor shares how our identity in Christ as one body must shape our daily walk.

You’ll be challenged to:
* ✅ Flee idolatry and pursue God’s faithfulness
* ✨ Seek the good of others rather than your own
* 💬 Speak the truth in love, building up the body
* 🕊 Live with a kingdom mindset that glorifies God in every act
* 💡 Reorient your life around God’s glory for true joy and satisfaction

This message highlights how unity in Christ is not just a lofty ideal but a lived-out reality — one that affects every word we speak, every decision we make, and every relationship we nurture. It is a call to live selflessly, love deeply, and glorify God fully.

On this Resurrection Sunday and Passover remembrance, Pastor shares a powerful message from 1 Corinthians 10, calling us to *take heed* in our spiritual walk. Even though the Israelites experienced God's protection, provision, and presence, many still fell in the wilderness due to idolatry, immorality, and grumbling.

✨ In this timely word, we are reminded:
* ✅ God's faithfulness never fails, even in our wilderness seasons.
* ✅ Temptations are common, but God provides a way of escape.
* ✅ We are called to flee idolatry and trust His provision wholeheartedly.
* ✅ Resurrection power is available to strengthen and sustain us.
* ✅ We must live soberly, guarding our hearts and running to win the eternal prize.

Christ's victory enables us to walk faithfully, even when the journey is difficult. Let’s choose faith, not complaint; devotion, not distraction. Let's *take heed* and press on in resurrection power!

🏃‍♂️ Are you running just to finish... or are you running to *win*?
In this powerful and passionate sermon, we’re challenged to examine our faith walk through the lens of Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians. With the inspiring story of Cliff Young—a 61-year-old farmer who shocked the world by winning an ultramarathon—we’re reminded that spiritual endurance isn’t about flash, but faithfulness.

Drawing from Paul’s example, we’re called to:

*✅ Run with purpose, not aimlessly*
*✨ Become all things to all people, that we might win some to Christ*
*🔥 Exercise self-control and discipline, training like spiritual athletes for an eternal reward*
*💡 Rely on the Holy Spirit’s power—not our own strength—to live out this radical call to serve and save*

This message is both a wake-up call and an encouragement: *Don’t settle for just making it into heaven—run to win the prize!* Let your life count for the Kingdom of God.
