Pastor Steve walked us through 1 Corinthians 14:1–25, where Paul teaches that the goal of spiritual gifts is not personal display, but the building up of God’s church.

The Corinthian believers were fascinated with impressive spiritual experiences, especially speaking in tongues. But Paul redirects their focus. Spiritual gifts are given so the church may be strengthened, encouraged, and built up in truth.

Clear, understandable proclamation of God’s Word is central to the life of the church. When God’s people speak in ways that strengthen others, the body grows and Christ is honored.

Big Idea:
Mature disciples are devoted to building up God’s church.

Paul calls believers to pursue love, seek gifts that edify others, and approach worship with maturity. The goal is not confusion or self-focus, but a gathering where the truth of God is clearly heard and lives are transformed.

When the church gathers around the Word, the result is conviction, worship, and the recognition that God is truly among His people.

Big Idea: Understanding the role of spiritual leaders helps us grow in our faith.

In Philippians 2, Paul points to faithful examples—men who were genuine in their care, focused on the mission, and committed to Christ above themselves. Spiritual leadership is not about status. It is about service. It is about placing the interests of Jesus Christ above our own.

Healthy leaders help the church grow. And as we follow Christ together, we mature in unity, humility, and obedience.

Let’s be a church that values faithful leadership and pursues Christ wholeheartedly.

Big Idea: Love is the highest expression that God’s church pursues together.

1 Corinthians 13 shows us that everything we do as a church—every gift, every act of service, every word—must be rooted in love. Without it, we miss the point.

Love is not optional. It is essential.
It is how the body stays unified.
It is how Christ is seen in us.

Let’s be a church marked by real, Christlike love.

1 Corinthians 12 | Pastor Steve Miller

Big Idea: Spiritual gifts reveal the intentional place and purpose for every believer in God’s church.

Pastor Steve preached from 1 Corinthians 12, showing that spiritual gifts are not random abilities but intentional assignments from the Holy Spirit. Each believer is placed in the body by God’s design, for God’s glory, and for the good of the church.

Paul reminds us that no gift exists for self-promotion. Every gift serves a purpose. Every member belongs. When we understand our place in the body, division fades and unity strengthens. The church flourishes when each believer faithfully uses what God has entrusted to them.

Spiritual gifts are not about status. They are about service. They are evidence that God has intentionally placed you in His church with purpose.

Pastor Steve preached from 1 Corinthians 11:17–34, calling the church to see communion rightly—not as routine, but as worship centered on the glory of Christ.

In Corinth, the Lord’s Table had become divided and self-focused. Paul corrects them by bringing their attention back to what truly matters: the body and blood of Christ. Communion is not about preference or status. It is about remembrance. It is about repentance. It is about proclaiming the Lord’s death until He comes.

When we gather at the Table with humility and discernment, the church is refocused. Our hearts are examined. Our unity is restored. And Christ is exalted.

Big Idea: God’s order for communion refocuses the church on the glory of Christ.

Pastor Steve preached from 1 Corinthians 11:2–16, reminding us that God is a God of order—not confusion—and His design is always good. What God establishes is intentional. What He orders is meant to bring life, clarity, and unity within the church.

True freedom is not found in rejecting God’s design, but in joyfully submitting to it. When the church lives under God’s authority, His beauty is displayed and His glory is made known.

Big Idea: Order within the church is the result of submission to God’s design.

1 Corinthians 10:23-33 | Pastor Steve Miller

Pastor Steve preached from 1 Corinthians 10:23–33, reminding us that freedom in Christ is never about self-indulgence, but about purposeful devotion. Not everything that is lawful builds. Not everything that builds glorifies God.

Christian maturity is marked by discernment—choosing what honors the Lord and serves others, even when we are free to choose otherwise.

Big Idea: Mature Christians live for the glory of God and the good of others.

1 Corinthians 10:16-22 | Pastor Steve Miller

Pastor Steve preached from 1 Corinthians 10:16–22, calling us to be aware of the demonic activity at work in our daily lives and to examine whether anything competes with devotion to Christ, urging careful discernment in what we participate in and where our allegiance truly lies.

Big Idea: Becoming aware of demonic connections can renew our devotion to the Lord.
