Is There a Resurrection?

Pastor Joe Schloegel – An exposition of 1 Corinthians 15 (incl. supplemental passages)

– Easter Sunday 2013

– “Is there a resurrection?” This was a question debated amongst the Jews in Christ’s time, and even amongst Christians in the early Church Age. To this day, the sentiment behind this question still exists. But what does God tell us in His Word?

Freedom and Amoral Issues

Pastor Joe Schloegel – An exposition of 1 Corinthians 8

– There are certain issues that are amoral to the Christian. They are not inherently sinful, yet they may be a stumbling block to someone who is “weaker” in the faith. Therefore, those of us who are “strong” in the faith must be mindful not to flaunt the freedom we have through our knowledge and thus cause a weaker brother to stumble because of our actions.

By Faith

Guest Speaker: Pastor Tim Weeks – An exposition of 1 Peter 1:6-9

– It’s been said that “seeing is believing.” But is such a statement biblical? We as believers have not yet seen with our eyes the full glory that awaits us, but we press on through struggles and difficulties and through God’s refining fire knowing that God has promised us an inheritance. And because we know of what He has done for us, we have confidence that we can trust in Him. Therefore, we walk by faith.

Who You Are and What Hasn’t Changed

Guest Speaker: Pastor Tim Weeks – An exposition of 1 Peter 1:1-4 (incl. supplemental passages)

– Drawing a parallel to the struggles encountered by the early church when they were exiled and dispersed because of their faith, the contemporary Christian can also look to passages in 1 Peter which encourage us during our trials by admonishing us to remember who we are in light of the unchanging Truth of God’s Word.
