In this sermon on 1 Corinthians 10:23–11:1, we examine what it means to live all of life for the glory of God and the good of others.

Christian liberty is guided by more than what is lawful. Paul calls believers to consider what is helpful, what builds others up, what conscience permits, and what serves the spiritual good of our neighbor.

Through seven practical biblical principles, this passage gives Christians a framework for everyday decisions: pursue what edifies, respect conscience, give thanks, seek the salvation of others, imitate Christ, and above all, “do all to the glory of God.”

What does Paul mean when he says believers cannot partake of **“the table of the Lord” and “the table of demons”**?

In this expository sermon from **1 Corinthians 10:14–22**, we examine Paul’s urgent command to **“flee from idolatry”** and the spiritual reality behind worship, communion, sacrifice, and idolatrous practices.

Paul explains that the Lord’s Table is a true spiritual fellowship (*koinonia*) with Christ and with one another. He then points to Old Testament sacrifices, where those who ate of the sacrifices became participants with the altar. From there, Paul gives a serious warning: although idols themselves are nothing, pagan sacrifices are offered to demons and not to God.

The message is clear: **we cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. We cannot partake of the Lord’s Table and the table of demons.**

This sermon concludes with five practical applications for recognizing and fleeing modern forms of idolatry in our homes, our culture, and our hearts.

Why does Scripture leave no room for human boasting in salvation?

In this sermon from Copper Cove Chapel, we examine 1 Corinthians 1:31 and the biblical truth that neither Jew nor Gentile can be justified by works of the law or by human effort.

We trace the purpose of the Mosaic Law, the promise given to Abraham, and the unfolding plan of redemption through Scripture. From the temporary coverings of the Old Covenant to the finished work of Christ at the cross, the message is consistent: salvation belongs to the Lord.

Eternal redemption is found in Jesus Christ alone—by grace, through faith, apart from human boasting.
