   Does your heart skip a beat when you hear someone say, “I have GREAT News for you“? Of course it does! So, I wonder what the greatest news is that you've ever heard? In the mid first century, all across the Roman empire, life was difficult, especially for Christians who claimed to be followers of Jesus. Why? Well, for many of the same reasons life is difficult for Christians in many places in our world today. Christians claim God forgives them of their sin guilt and God frees them of their sin condemnation because they put their faith in Jesus Christ as their Savior! No other religion gives assurance any god will forgive sin! (Click here to see full text, images and links)    Pastor Doug Anderson    “Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, with our eyes fixed on Jesus…” (Heb. 12:1,2)Have a comment or question about today's chapter? I'm ready to hear from you, contact me here.

Scripture Reading:1 Corinthians 11:17-34Catechism:Q: Should the baptized children of believers be admitted to the table?A: By all means. The table of the Lord belongs to the body of Christ, to which all covenant children belong, as heirs of the kingdom of heaven. Since such baptized children share in the death and resurrection of our Lord, they ought to receive this holy food and drink for their salvation and assurance, just as children of the old covenant were permitted to partake of its sacramental meals. Church Website:https://langleychurch.org/Communion of Reformed & Evangelical Churches:https://crechurches.org/

This week Pastor Mike continues our series through 1 Corinthinas looking at Paul's comparison between the way of the world and the way of the cross. In a culture obsessed by power and strength the cross of Christ is confounding, confusing, and offensive. Yet, it is God's revealed wisdom and power.

This week we start a new sermon series through the book of 1 Corinthians. We see how the first thing Paul would remind this church is that they belong, from beginning to the end, to our Lord Jesus Christ.

In a digitial world full of influencers and celebrities Paul's reminder that our unity is found only when we highlight the uniqueness of Christ is just as confrontational to us as it was for the Corinthians.

SERMON NOTES: What does it mean to stand firm in the faith when life gets hard? In this sermon from 1 Corinthians 16:13–23, we are reminded that the Christian life is a fight—but we were never meant to fight alone. Paul calls believers to be alert, stand firm in the faith, be courageous, be strong, and do everything in love. Pastor Will explores what it means to endure hardship with realistic expectations, cling to the truth of the gospel, and rely on the strength of Christian community. Our faith is grounded in the objective work of the triune God: the Father loved us and chose to save us, Jesus Christ lived and died for our sins, and the Holy Spirit makes us alive and dwells within us. Because of these truths, we can face suffering without losing hope. This message also explores the threats to our faith—including suffering, sin, cultural pressures, and spiritual opposition—and why the local church is essential for helping Christians persevere. We need flesh-and-blood community. We need one another. Together, we must fight the fight of faith. TAKEAWAYS: - The Christian life is a fight, but we were never meant to fight alone. God gives us the church and one another so that we can persevere together. - Standing firm means clinging to the truth of the faith. Our hope isn't based on how well we fight but on the God who fights for us. - Our faith is grounded in what God has actually done. The Father chose and loved us, the Son died for our sins, and the Holy Spirit makes us alive and dwells within us. - Christians should have realistic expectations about suffering. Following Jesus doesn't mean life will be free from hardship. Scripture prepares us to endure hardship rather than be blindsided by it. - We face real threats to our faith. The flesh, the world, and the devil can all pull us away from trusting God and living faithfully. - Hardship can tempt us to doubt God's love, grace, and presence. But suffering isn't evidence that God has abandoned us. Jesus himself suffered while remaining confident in the Father's love. - God's grace is for real sinners. Jesus didn't die for sanitized or hypothetical sins. His grace reaches people in the midst of their actual sin and brokenness. - Christian courage isn't the absence of fear. Courage means recognizing what is happening, acknowledging the fear, and faithfully doing what God has called us to do anyway. - Christian faith is meant to be lived in community. We need flesh-and-blood brothers and sisters who can encourage, challenge, support, and carry burdens with us. - We must fight the fight of faith together. Standing firm, being courageous, and doing everything in love are things we pursue together as the church. REFLECTION & APPLICATION QUESTIONS: 1. Where are you currently experiencing a "fight" in your life, and how are you responding to it? 2. Are you trying to face something alone that God intended you to face within Christian community? Who could you invite into that struggle? 3. What expectations do you have about the Christian life that may be unrealistic? How might those expectations affect your faith when hardship comes? 4. When hardship comes, which do you most naturally doubt: God's love, God's grace, or God's presence? Why? 5. Which of the three threats discussed in the sermon—the flesh, the world, or the devil—do you find yourself most vulnerable to? 6. What truth about God do you need to cling to when your circumstances make you question Him? 7. Is there a sin, failure, or part of your past that you struggle to believe God's grace can cover? What does the gospel say about that? 8. What would courageous faithfulness look like for you right now—not the absence of fear, but obedience in the presence of fear? 9. Who are the people in your life who help you stand firm in your faith? Are you intentionally investing in those relationships? 10. Where might God be calling you to strengthen or encourage someone else in their fight of faith? ——————————————— CHAPTERS: 00:00 - 1 Corinthians 16:13–23 01:10 - Grieving With Hope 03:00 - We Were Never Meant to Fight Alone 04:40 - Stand Firm in the Faith 07:13 - The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit 11:21 - Experiencing God's Grace and Presence 14:51 - The Threats to Our Faith 17:28 - The Flesh, the World, and the Devil 20:48 - When Hardship Makes Us Doubt God 23:10 - Courage, Love, and Christian Community 31:15 - We Need the Church 33:20 - Fight the Fight of Faith ——————————————— Please visit our website at reconcilecc.org for any questions.

18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written:“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. 22 For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom; 23 but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness, 24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

Vida Contra-Cultural - Leandro Vieira (1 Coríntios 4:1-21 - Série: Em Cristo, no Mundo) by FAMÍLIA DOS QUE CREEM

Série Em Cristo, No Mundo Lavando a Roupa Suja “Roupa suja se lava em casa” — ditado popular muito conhecido e utilizado entre os brasileiros. No capítulo 6, observamos Paulo censurando os litígios dos irmãos de Corinto. Vemos também os coríntios utilizando de tribunais formais e públicos para julgar causas tão pequenas, e que por muitas vezes deveriam ser julgadas dentro da congregação. Com o adendo de que Paulo claramente não estava tratando de crimes, que devem ser reportados às autoridades competentes (cf. Romanos 13), notamos que os irmãos desta igreja estavam envergonhando o evangelho pois, para eles, importavam mais os pensamentos, valores e capacidades morais da própria cultura local do que o evangelho. Eles tinham invertido os papéis, neste caso a sabedoria humana tinha muito mais valor do que a sabedoria do próprio Deus. Paulo se mostra muito perplexo com a situação em que se encontram os coríntios, como ele mesmo diz nos versos 3 e 4: “Por acaso vocês não sabem que havemos de julgar os próprios anjos? Quanto mais as coisas desta vida! Portanto, quando precisam julgar negócios terrenos, por que vocês constituem como juízes aqueles que não têm nenhuma aceitação na igreja?” Julgar segundo a sabedoria de Deus é essencial para que possamos discernir aquilo que é a vontade do Senhor. __ #SÉRIEEMCRISTONOMUNDO #FAMÍLIADOSQUECREEM Visite nosso site: https://fdqc.org Contribua financeiramente: https://fdqc.org/contribuir Ouça nossas músicas: https://open.spotify.com/artist/6aPdiaGuHcyDVGzvZV4LHy Siga-nos no Instagram: http://instagram.com/familiadosquecreem Curta-nos no Facebook: http://facebook.com/familiadosquecreem Siga-nos no Twitter: http://twitter.com/familiadqc

Date: 9/6/26 Speaker: Pastor Will Broadus Passage: 1 Corinthians 6:1-12 Description: What is Jesus worth to you? In 1 Corinthians 16:1–12, Paul calls the church to support believers who are suffering and to give toward the spread of the gospel. But beneath these practical instructions is a deeper challenge: when we see Christians willing to suffer and sacrifice for Christ, we are reminded of just how worthy Jesus is. In this sermon, “All for Christ,” we look at the persecuted church, the cost of following Jesus, the importance of supporting missionaries and church planters, and the need to remain focused on the mission of the gospel rather than being distracted by petty disagreements. The witness of persecuted Christians challenges us to ask whether we see Jesus as worth sacrificing for. Their faith reminds us that following Christ may be costly—but Christ is worth it. We are called to support our persecuted brothers and sisters, participate in the spread of the gospel, embrace the open doors God gives us, and keep the mission of Jesus at the center of our lives and our church. Main Idea: We ought to support the persecuted church and the spread of the gospel because it reminds us of the worth of Christ. Key Takeaways: - Jesus is worth following even when following Him is costly. - The persecuted church reminds us of the worth of Christ. - We are called to support Christians who suffer for their faith. - An open door for ministry does not necessarily mean an easy ministry. - The church must remain focused on gospel clarity, caring for those in need, and missional urgency. - Petty disagreements should never distract us from the mission of the gospel. - The gospel has global implications—we are called to participate in taking it to people who have not heard. ——————————————— Chapters: 00:00 — Scripture Reading: 1 Corinthians 16:1–12 01:57 — Introduction: All for Christ 03:00 — Polycarp and the Cost of Following Jesus 06:20 — Supporting the Persecuted Church 10:35 — The Witness of Persecuted Christians 12:40 — Why Following Jesus Is Worth the Cost 17:00 — Supporting Christians Through Prayer, Giving & Service 20:00 — Supporting Missions and the Spread of the Gospel 23:01 — An Open Door Doesn't Mean an Easy Ministry 25:15 — Embracing the Open Doors God Gives Us 28:12 — Staying Focused on the Mission 29:15 — Don't Let Petty Things Distract You 31:26 — Gospel Clarity, Care & Missional Urgency 34:22 — The Gospel Has Global Implications 37:06 — What Are You Willing to Sacrifice for Jesus? 39:27 — Conclusion: Christ Is Worth It ——————————————— Reflection Questions: 1. Do I see Jesus as worthy of my whole life, or only the parts of my life that are comfortable? 2. What does the faithfulness of persecuted Christians reveal about the worth of Christ? 3. What am I currently unwilling to sacrifice in order to follow Jesus more faithfully? 4. Where might God have placed an “open door” for ministry in my life, even though walking through it may be difficult or uncomfortable? 5. Am I allowing fear, inconvenience, awkwardness, or opposition to keep me from sharing the gospel? 6. Are there petty disagreements or secondary issues distracting me from the things that matter most to Jesus? 7. How am I currently participating in the care of Christians who are suffering around the world? 8. How am I participating in the spread of the gospel—through prayer, giving, serving, going, or sharing? 9. Who is one person in my life who may not yet understand the biblical gospel, and how can I intentionally move toward them? 10. If Jesus is truly worth everything, what is one concrete step of obedience He may be calling me to take this week? Please visit our website at reconcilecc.org for any questions.

Date: 8/30/26 Speaker: Pastor Will Broadus Passage: 1 Corinthians 15:35-58 Series: Ratchet & Righteous ——————————————— What will happen to our bodies when Jesus returns? What does the Bible mean by the resurrection of the dead? And why should the promise of resurrection change the way we live today? In this sermon, we explore 1 Corinthians 15:35–58 and Paul's teaching about the resurrection body. Scripture gives Christians a hope that goes far beyond simply going to heaven. When Christ returns, the dead will be raised, believers will be transformed, and our corruptible, mortal bodies will be clothed with incorruptibility and immortality. The resurrection means that everything broken by sin and death will ultimately be made new. Our weakness will give way to power, corruption to incorruption, and dishonor to glory. Through our union with Jesus Christ—the risen and life-giving Savior—we have the hope of sharing in His resurrection life. This hope also changes how we live now. Because the resurrection is coming, our labor for the Lord is not in vain. We can remain steadfast, endure suffering, serve others, share the gospel, and follow Jesus even when obedience is difficult because we know that what is coming is worth it. ——————————————— In this message, we explore: - What the Bible teaches about the resurrection body - What it means to be raised in incorruption, glory, and power - The connection between Adam and Jesus, the “last Adam” - Why Christ's return is the completion of our salvation - What glorification means for Christians - How Jesus removes the sting of death - Why Christians can have hope in the face of suffering, sickness, and death - Why the promise of resurrection should motivate us to serve the Lord today ——————————————— Chapters: 00:00 — 1 Corinthians 15:35–58: The Resurrection Body 03:32 — Why Jesus' Return Is Good News 07:26 — What Will the Resurrection Body Be Like? 10:22 — The Resurrection Is Beyond Our Understanding 11:30 — Raised in Incorruption, Glory, and Power 16:00 — Our Connection to Jesus Guarantees Resurrection 18:44 — The Resurrection and Eternal Life 21:42 — When Do We Receive the Resurrection Body? 22:39 — Glorification: The Completion of Salvation 24:42 — Jesus Has Defeated the Sting of Death 27:54 — Believe and Repent 28:58 — Our Labor for the Lord Is Not in Vain 30:01 — Why Following Jesus Is Worth the Cost 33:21 — Hope for Suffering and Sickness 36:32 — Serve the Lord Because the Resurrection Is Coming 37:51 — Communion: Remembering Christ and Anticipating His Return ——————————————— Please visit our website at reconcilecc.org for any questions.

Chi infatti conosce i segreti dell'uomo se non lo spirito dell'uomo che è in lui? Così anche i segreti di Dio nessuno li ha mai conosciuti se non lo Spirito di Dio. Ora, noi non abbiamo ricevuto lo spirito del mondo, ma lo Spirito di Dio per conoscere ciò che Dio ci ha donato.Di queste cose noi parliamo, con parole non suggerite dalla sapienza umana, bensì insegnate dallo Spirito, esprimendo cose spirituali in termini spirituali. Ma l'uomo lasciato alle sue forze non comprende le cose dello Spirito di Dio: esse sono follia per lui e non è capace di intenderle, perché di esse si può giudicare per mezzo dello Spirito. L'uomo mosso dallo Spirito, invece, giudica ogni cosa, senza poter essere giudicato da nessuno. Infatti chi mai ha conosciuto il pensiero del Signore in modo da poterlo consigliare? Ora, noi abbiamo il pensiero di Cristo.Parola del Signore.

What are we here for? A meaningful life requires a satisfying answer to that question. In this sermon we explore the purposes for which God created the world and consider why “the chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy him forever.”

Thank you for listening. We continue in our series in 1 Corinthians. Date: 8/23/26 Speaker: Pastor Jarrian “JayWill” Wilson Passage: 1 Cor 15:20-34 Series: Ratchet & Righteous Sermon Summary: The resurrection of Jesus isn't simply a truth Christians celebrate once a year at Easter—it changes how we live every day. Because Christ has been raised from the dead and now reigns, those who belong to Him have a future beyond death, sin, shame, and suffering. The resurrection gives believers hope, but it also calls for a response: to turn away from sin, resist the influences that pull us away from God, confess what is happening in our hearts, and live Monday through Saturday as people who genuinely believe that Jesus is risen and reigning. Key Takeaways 1. The resurrection changes everything. Jesus is described as the “firstfruits” of those who will follow Him. Just as the first fruit gives an indication of what is to come from the harvest, Christ's resurrection points toward the future resurrection and life of those who belong to Him. 2. In Christ, death is no longer the end of the story. Death came through Adam, but resurrection and life come through Christ. For those who belong to Jesus, sickness, broken relationships, suffering, shame, and even death do not get the final word. 3. Jesus doesn't merely rise — He reigns. The resurrection points toward Christ's present and future reign. He has conquered death, and there is coming a day when every power and authority will be brought under Him and creation will be renewed. 4. If the resurrection is true, it demands a response. Paul's argument in 1 Corinthians 15 is essentially this: if there is no resurrection, none of this matters. But if Christ really has been raised, then our lives cannot remain unchanged. We are called to come to our senses, turn from sin, and live as people who believe the resurrection is real. 5. Confession and examination help us live in light of the resurrection. Pastor JayWill offers a simple practice of examining the day before going to bed: - Where did I see God's hands today? - Where did I hear God's voice today? - In what ways did I disobey God today? The goal isn't shame, but bringing our hearts honestly before the resurrected Savior. 6. Our identity isn't ultimately defined by our shame or our past. Because of Christ, believers are called sons and daughters and are being made glorious through the work of the Spirit. Our past, our shame, and our failures don't have the final word about who we are. Reflection Questions: 1. If I truly believe that Jesus is risen and reigning, what should look different about the way I live Monday through Saturday? 2. What area of my life am I currently living as though the resurrection isn't powerful enough to change me? 3. Are there relationships, habits, influences, or patterns that are pulling me back toward the life Christ has called me to leave behind? 4. What shame, guilt, or part of my past do I need to bring honestly before Jesus rather than allowing it to define me? 5. As I reflect on today, where did I see God's presence, where did I hear His voice, and where did I resist or disobey Him? Put It Into Practice: Before going to bed each night this week, spend a few minutes examining your day. Thank God for where you saw His presence, consider where you heard His voice, and honestly acknowledge where you disobeyed Him. Bring those things to Christ in confession and prayer.

- Speaker: Lukus Counterman - This week in our series entitled What Matters to God, we will be looking at the gospel. The gospel is the good news that God loves sinners so much, he sent his Son to die for our sins and rise again to offer life to all who believe. This is a truth of “first importance,” as Paul puts it in (1Cor. 15:3). So, we can be sure that the gospel matters to God. And if it matters to God, it should matter to us.

Someone will ask, Paul wrote, "how are the dead raised? With what kind of body do they come?" Those are good questions (1Cor. 15:35). The resurrection is difficult to grasp but grasp it we must if we're to receive life from him and give our lives for his name. This is Luke's purpose for us in what is a third of three resurrection encounters near the end of his gospel account. Jesus appeared to Peter, then to two disciples on the road to Emmaus, and now to a group of disciples in Jerusalem. This encounter recorded for us in Luke 24:36–43 invokes fear but answers that fear with a broiled fish.

What does the Bible really teach about speaking in tongues? In this episode, Jonny and Hank dig into the gift of tongues from a biblical perspective — walking through Acts 2, Acts 10, Acts 19, and 1 Corinthians 12–14 to examine whether tongues in Scripture refers to known languages or a private prayer language.Hank shares a personal story from his college years visiting a charismatic church, then unpacks:- What tongues meant in Acts 2 (the Day of Pentecost)- How Luke's authorship and timeline shape the interpretation of Acts- 1 Corinthians 13 and the "tongues of angels" — literal or rhetorical?- Whether tongues is a sign of the baptism of the Holy Spirit- Paul's instructions for order in the church (1 Corinthians 14:27, 14:23)- Early church history: Gregory of Nazianzus, Chrysostom, and the origins of the modern private prayer language movement (Charles Fox Parham, Agnes Ozman, 1901)- Romans 8:26 and the Spirit's intercession in prayerThis is a respectful, Scripture-first conversation for anyone wondering how to think biblically about tongues, the charismatic movement, spiritual gifts, and the sufficiency of God's Word — without dismissing sincere believers who see it differently.
