Series: Sermons
Series: Body Work
What if, as Christians, we were so full of love that we didn't have room for mess? Imagine if we didn't have mess in our lives, mess in our church, mess in our relationship with Christians, or mess in our relationship with God. In 1 Corinthians 13:4-5, Paul admonishes the church about the purpose and nature of Christ-like love as he provides instruction to address their ignorance. On today Pastor Jerry Seawright continues with Part 9 of his series on Body Work in his sermon called “Only Room For Love.”

Most people like to be right: they don't normally pride themselves of being wrong. In Romans 12:3-13, the Apostle Paul lays out clear guidelines about the ultimate goal of being right: not out of pride or opinion but based on the consequences of accepting or envying spiritual gifts. Associate Pastor Julian Watkins brings to us Part 8 of our series on Body Work called “Right Action, for the Right Reason, with the Right Motive.”

Nov 19, 2017Body Work (Part 7)Posted by Elder Jerry SeawrightSeries: SermonsSeries: Body Work When’s the last time you’ve told someone “I love you?” Was it a genuine statement or did you have ulterior motives? In 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 the Apostle Paul informs us that anything done without love is tainted: this even applies to spiritual gifts. Pastor Seawright brings to us Part 7 of his series on Body Work with today's sermon called "Something Can Add Up to Nothing."

Nov 18, 2017Body Work (Part 6)Posted by Elder Julian WatkinsSeries: SermonsSeries: Body Work What happens if everyone is allowed to do whatever they want, whenever they want? The result is chaos, miscommunication, and sadly, disunity. This conflict is vividly expressed by Paul in 1 Corinthians 12:27-31 as he warns the church about the negative effects of misplaced priorities involving spiritual gifts. On today, Associate Pastor Julian Watkins talks about Part 6 of our Body Work series with his sermon entitled “"One Body, Many Members."

Oct 29, 2017Body Work (Part 5)Posted by Elder Jerry SeawrightSeries: SermonsSeries: Body Work How do human body parts aptly reflect the purpose and unity of the church--the Body of Christ? In 1 Corinthians 12:12-26, Paul addresses confusion within the church because people wrongly carried over their pagan practices and created a hierarchy of spiritual gifts. Today’s believers must avoid this temptation as well. Pastor Seawright continues with Part 5 of his series on Body Work with today's sermon entitled “Our Gifts Look Good on Us.”

Oct 13, 2017Body Work (Part 1)Posted by Elder Jerry SeawrightSeries: SermonsSeries: Body WorkAfter we accept Christ as our Lord and Savior, He immediately places us into His family called the Body of Christ.
