Chris Wall • I Corinthians 5:1-13
In a culture that often tolerates and even celebrates sin, God calls His church to live differently. In 1 Corinthians 5, Paul confronts the danger of unchecked sin within the body and reminds us that membership matters. The church is not a casual gathering—it is a covenant family where we are responsible for one another’s spiritual health. This passage challenges us to mourn over sin rather than ignore it, to pursue holiness rather than compromise, and to lovingly confront rather than passively tolerate. Like leaven in dough, sin that is left unaddressed will spread—weakening our witness, confusing our message, and compromising our mission. Yet even in discipline, the goal is never punishment—it is restoration. God calls us to be a people marked by sincerity and truth, walking together in accountability and grace. A counter-cultural church is a holy church—one where we are known, where we pursue holiness, where we stand on truth, and where we fight for one another’s restoration in Christ.

Palm Sunday
Chris Wall • I Corinthians 4:1-5
In a world where authority is often resisted and leadership is questioned; many have developed an allergy to being led. This isn’t new—it was alive in the Corinthian church, where pride and preference created division. But God’s answer isn’t the removal of leadership—it’s the installation of the right kind of leaders. In 1 Corinthians 4, Paul gives us a clear picture of what faithful, Christ-centered leadership looks like and then challenges the church to follow those leaders. As an elder-led, congregationally ruled church, our unity depends on recognizing, affirming, and imitating the right kind of leaders. When we recognize biblical leadership, we overcome the Authority allergy—and live out a gospel adventure that changes the world, starting right here where God planted us.

Adulting
Chad Balthrop • I Corinthians 3:1-10
Adulting is hard. Everyone enjoys the freedom to stay out late, eat ice cream for dinner, and spend time with whomever they want. But no one likes buying tires, fixing broken air conditioners, or paying bills. Relationships make adulting even more difficult. We want what we want when we want it, and we want what we want right now! I’m not sure who you think you are to get in the way of me having it!
In the book of First Corinthians, the Apostle Paul challenges us to spiritual maturity. He pushes us to milk maturity for all it’s worth and reveals that spiritual maturity is the foundation for practical unity. With three simple words, he helps us recognize when we’re the ones being immature and shows us how to grow up in every relationship. Ultimately, the most persuasive evidence that Jesus transforms lives is the unity of diverse people joyfully serving God and one another – and that’s the best “adulting” we’ll ever experience!
