What If Your Life Isn't Yours? 1 Cor 6:11-20 is the topic that will be discussed today on RIOT Podcast, a Christian Discipleship Podcast.
Join us as Pastor Nick brings us a message about the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ...and of us.
Discover what the Bible reveals about our future resurrection bodies and why they are essential for eternal life. This comprehensive study of First Corinthians 15 explores Paul's teaching on resurrection, glorification, and what happens when Jesus returns. Learn why our current flesh and blood bodies cannot inherit God's kingdom and what makes our future bodies different. Understand the mystery of instant transformation that will occur in the twinkling of an eye when Christ comes back. Explore how our glorified bodies will be both physical and spiritual, like Jesus' resurrection body after He rose from the dead. Find out why some believers won't die before receiving their new bodies and what this means for Christian hope. Discover the difference between our gradual sanctification now and our instant glorification then. Learn about the clothing imagery Paul uses to describe putting on immortality and imperishable nature. Understand why death still stings now but has no ultimate power over believers in Christ. Explore how God's law serves as a mirror to show our need for salvation rather than a checklist to earn heaven. Learn why Christianity is unique among world religions in teaching salvation by grace through faith rather than good works. Discover practical applications for how understanding resurrection should change daily priorities and eternal perspective. Find answers to common questions about heaven, eternal life, spiritual bodies, physical resurrection, and Christian eschatology. This biblical teaching addresses fears about death, provides hope for grieving believers, and explains the Gospel message of salvation through Jesus Christ alone.

How does revival come? When we do what He says to do!Eph 4:30 / Ps 51:5-12 / Is 63:8-10 / 1John 1:5-10 / John 16:7 / John 16:12-15 / 1Cor 2:10-13
The post Remember the Most Important Things – 1 Cor 15:1-4 – Pastor Joe Fauth appeared first on Calvary Bible Church - Wrightsville, PA.
God is faithful and He's a faithful steward. The revelation of God is released to those who steward truth. John 3:11-13 / Luke 16:10-13 / Matt 13:12 / 1Cor 4:1-2 / John 15:7-8 / John 5:19 / Ps 34:7 / Col 3:1 / 1John 5:14-15 / Matt 5:6 / James 4:12 / Rom 8:26 / Heb 5:14 / Amos 3:7
IntroductionIn this exposition of 1 Corinthians 2, Paul's contrast between the natural (fleshly) person and the spiritual person is carefully unpacked in light of the Canons of Dort. The goal is to correct common misunderstandings. We might want to be very moralistic where we impose our will on someone else because we are more Spiritual. We might want to make a distinction in the church. Some are Spiritual Christians, and some are carnal Christians. We all want to be Spiritual Christians. The Spiritual Christian has the mind of Christ. So, how can we be Spiritual with the mind of Christ? Folly's JudgementPaul teaches that the natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit. Man does not have a problem of neutrality. Man has a deep moral problem. Man is sinful to the core and does not embrace or even see the Lord's wisdom. Natural man will judge the Gospel and Scripture as folly. Scripture, from Genesis 3 onward, teaches that humanity is not merely sick but dead in sin. Fallen man is in rebellion against God. This is by man's choice. It is the fall into sin that condemns humanity. It is not that man needs to make better choices. Thus, the gospel appears “stupid” or “foolish” to the natural person. This is not because a natural person fails to read the words. The natural person can lay out the Gospel clearly. However, the natural person will never know the Christ of Scripture. We need the Lord to regenerate our hearts to respond in faith. Why Not Be Judged? When Paul says the spiritual person “is not judged,” we might think that we are above the law. We might think that we have immunity from the Lord's judgment. This is not the case. The same word translated “judged” also means discerned or evaluated.Paul is reminding us that we are called to discern what is right before the Lord. As we correctly discern, then we are not judged by man. We are submitting ourselves to the Lord's judgment. As the Lord works in us by the Spirit, he convicts us of our sin. The spiritual person can rightly evaluate life in light of Christ, while the natural person lacks the capacity to discern/judge/learn spiritual truth. They can read the Scripture, they can summarize the Gospel, but they will never live in light of it. We are simply saying that the regenerate, spiritual person has a new bent of the will. It is by the Spirit's work that the Spiritual person sees the wisdom and joy of life in Christ. So, the Spiritual person really desires and begins to conform to the Lord's will. How to Gain Christ's Mind? To have the mind of Christ is not to possess some sort of secret knowledge. It is to hear the gospel, and now see that message as the message of life. This is where the Christian begins to ask, “How do I please my savior?” Rather than, “How does everything please me?” Paul is intentionally undermining Corinthian elitism. The Corinthians equated maturity with spiritual gifts. They prided themselves on having the greatest teachers. The Apostle Paul defines maturity by embracing the cross, the resurrection, and the absolute necessity of Christ's saving work. Paul praises the spiritual Christian or the mature Christian who sees that they need to submit to their Lord and redeemer. The mind of Christ is shaped by doing the Father's will. It is doing the Father's will with joy. It is seeking to discern where we need to die to self. It is seeking to live unto the Lord. This is the essence of a true Christian ethic. A good workflow from faith. Good work is done by the Lord's standard or law. A good work is done for the Lord's glory and not man's approval (Heidelberg Catechism Q&A 91).Those who glory in Christ's humiliation and redemption are the spiritually mature. The reason: the spiritually mature know they need a savior. The spiritually mature want to live for their savior even if that life looks rather ordinary. The spiritually mature will know they need Christ and will not fully arrive at perfection until glory. The spiritually mature see their continual need for their savior. ConclusionHuman depravity is deeper than just a few bad decisions. Our condemnation before God is more than just failing to respond in faith, and we need to be more informed to make better decisions. We need more than the persuasion or assistance of Grace. We need the Lord's radical intervention to regenerate our hearts. Only the Lord can give us that new heart by his recreative power.Paul's teaching in 1 Corinthians 2 dismantles every attempt to redefine spirituality apart from the gospel. Humanity's problem is not lack of information but spiritual death. Grace does not merely assist; it regenerates. The spiritual person is not superior, autonomous, or elite. The mature spiritual Christian rests in Christ. The mature spiritual Christians realize the grace that is overwhelmed by the Spirit, giving us a new heart in regeneration. The spiritually mature discern the things of Christ and seek to live for him. Let us be a people who want to live for Christ's glory as he is at work in us.
Matthew 26:69-75 shows us Peter's denial of His Lord. Satan had demanded permission to sift Peter like wheat. Remember that Jesus had prayed for Peter that his faith would not fail, Lk.22:31-32. Peter may have failed, but his faith did not.Dr. Mitchell gives us a short overview on the 6 Scriptural evidences of Peter's downward trajectory before his denial.He then also points out how the Lord Jesus still loved Peter and sought him out personally after His resurrection. 1Cor.15:4 records Christ first appeared to Cephas, to Peter.The apostle Peter, in the book of Acts, is now one filled with the Holy Spirit, proclaimng Christ, crucified and raised again whom God exalted to His own right hand. In this exaltation, God made this Jesus, both Lord and Christ.Here on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast is Dr. Mitchell, Matthew 26:69.
Larry's sermon centers on the idea that God desires to guide His people from places of brokenness, scarcity, and stagnation into lives marked by abundance, wisdom, and flourishing. He illustrates this through a story about a close friend who mentors a young woman whose life has been shaped by harmful decisions and discouragement. Larry's friend pleads with her, saying that if she would simply watch, listen, and follow her, she could be led “from where you are…to better places” — from a life she hates into one she would love. When Larry hears this, he senses God revealing that this is not just what He desires for one person, but for all of us: God places wise and godly people in our lives as living examples to help guide us from unwise patterns toward wholeness and life. A major theme of the message is humility. Larry emphasizes that transformation requires the courage to admit, “I don't know how to live well — but you do,” and to submit ourselves to guidance and imitation. This posture stands in contrast to the modern tendency to seek advice from distant voices — online personalities, influencers, or strangers — whose own lives may not reflect the fruit or outcomes we desire. Larry challenges the congregation to recognize how irrational it is to entrust our deepest life decisions to people we do not know and whose wisdom we cannot verify. Instead, Scripture presents a God who promises to guide His people daily and who often does so through trustworthy, faithful examples in the community of believers. The sermon also connects this calling to the life of Jesus. Even though Jesus was equal with God, He chose to humble Himself, refusing to act independently; instead, He imitated and followed the will of the Father in everything He did. His life becomes both the model and the means of our transformation — He humbled Himself to the point of death so that we might be set free and learn how to live in alignment with God's purposes. Larry frames this life of imitation and discipleship as a movement from “limited vision and prison space” into abundance. God is deeply committed to our good — so committed, in fact, that Christ gave His life to lead us out of captivity and into fullness of life. Communion becomes a tangible reminder of that commitment and an invitation to trust God's shepherding presence even when the path forward feels uncertain. Ultimately, the sermon calls believers to embrace a posture of teachability, to seek guidance from godly men and women whose lives demonstrate the fruit of wisdom, and to follow Jesus' example of humility and obedience. Through this way of life — watching, listening, imitating, and surrendering — God leads His people from places of pain and confusion into places of abundance, freedom, and joy. Discussion & Application Questions Humility & Teachability: Where in your life do you resist guidance because it requires humility? What might it look like to ask someone you trust to “teach you how to live” in that area? Models Worth Imitating: Who in your life demonstrates the kind of spiritual maturity or fruit you hope to grow into? What practical steps could you take to intentionally learn from them? Sources of Influence: In what ways do you tend to seek direction from distant or impersonal voices (social media, influencers, etc.)? How can you shift toward embodied, relational guidance? Following Jesus' Example: How does Jesus' humility before the Father challenge your approach to decision-making, independence, or control? From Scarcity to Abundance: Where do you feel “stuck” or limited right now? What might trusting God's guidance — through Scripture, prayer, and community — look like in that specific area?
What do you do when faithful Christians love Jesus—but live differently than you do? In 1 Corinthians 8, Paul tackles one of the church's most common struggles: how to handle freedom, conscience, and disagreement without wounding one another. This message explores why being right isn't the same as being loving, how we often misjudge spiritual […]

Our Lord speaks of the Judgment of the nations which occurs after the great tribulation and after the 2nd coming of Christ, the Son of Man to the earth. But first, Dr. Mitchell explains 5 judgments found in Scripture. 1. The judgment of sin thru Christ on the cross 1Peter 2:242. The judgment of believers, known as divine discipline or chastisement either for sin or for spiritual growth and education. Heb.123. The judgment of believer's works at the Bema seat. 1Cor.34. The judgment of the living nations seen here in Matthew 25.5. The judgment of the unsaved at the great white throne. Rev.20Dr. Mitchell explains these five separate judgments before moving into Matthew 25 verses 31 thru 46.Helping us to grow in the knowledge of truth, on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast, here is Dr. Mitchell, Matthew 25:31.

The cross is the eternal revelation of God's heart, His power & His purpose.1Cor 1:18-19 / 1Cor 1:21-31 / Jer 9:23-24 / 1Cor 2:1-5 / Col 1:19-20 / Rev 13:8 / Phil 3:8 / Prov 9:10 / Is 11:1-2 / Rom 1:4 / Acts 4:33 / Matt 28:18 / Rev 12:10
This week's Torah and Haftarah are both about the endgame of human existence. Everyone ages and passes away - and for the aging and the bereaved, the rest of life does not necessarily go kind and gentle before, during, or afterwards. This week, we watch some of life's hardest hammer-blows land on God-following (not perfect) souls (Abraham and David), and learn from these passages which other Scripture tells us "were written down as examples for us, of our instruction." (1Cor. 10:11) So - let us learn together.
Fall 2025 - 11/12/25Week 11 of "The Greatest Commandment: Love on All Fronts" sermon series on relationships.
In this message from 1 Corinthians 9:19–27, Pastor unpacks what it means to run to win in the Christian life — not for personal gain, but so that others may come to know the Way. We're challenged to live with a Gospel lifestyle priority, exchanging personal privilege for the greater mission of serving and reaching people for Christ. Through connection without compromise, we're called to embody both morality and charity, living so that by all means some may be saved. With a Gospel-winning mentality, we're reminded to run with resolved determination, rigorous discipline, and real direction — aiming at real, providentially placed people with a heart to pray, care, and share. Ultimately, we must ruthlessly discipline ourselves so that our lives reflect what truly matters to God and to others. Will you run to win so they will know the Way?
