Big Idea: Beware: the sin of the social gospel.1 Corinthians 11:17-34I. A Gospel that doesn't change lives is no gospel.1 Corinthians 11:17-19Now in giving this instruction I do not praise you, since you come together not for the better but for the worse. For to begin with, I hear that when you come together as a church there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it. Indeed, it is necessary that there be factions among you, so that those who are approved may be recognized among you.II. Jesus's Gospel shatters all social barriers.1 Corinthians 11:20-22When you come together, then, it is not to eat the Lord's Supper. For at the meal, each one eats his own supper. So one person is hungry while another gets drunk! Don't you have homes in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? What should I say to you? Should I praise you? I do not praise you in this matter!III. A church that promotes anything other than Christ Crucified isn't a church.1 Corinthians 11:23-26For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: On the night when he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, broke it, and said, “This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, and said, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.IV. The seed of the Gospel takes root only in the heart.1 Corinthians 11:27-34So, then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sin against the body and blood of the Lord. Let a person examine himself; in this way let him eat the bread and drink from the cup. For whoever eats and drinks without recognizing the body, eats and drinks judgment on himself. This is why many are sick and ill among you, and many have fallen asleep. If we were properly judging ourselves, we would not be judged, but when we are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined, so that we may not be condemned with the world. Therefore, my brothers and sisters, when you come together to eat, welcome one another. If anyone is hungry, he should eat at home, so that when you gather together you will not come under judgment. I will give instructions about the other matters whenever I come.Next Steps: Believe: I accept Jesus's Gospel for the first time today.Become: I will live my faith before unbelievers this week. Be Sent: I will explain the need for the cross to someone this week.Discussion Questions: Is it easier to talk to someone about their problems in society or their sin problems? Explain your answer. How has the Gospel changed your views on society?What is an area that churches must be careful not to get distracted by?What difference will it make in Heaven if we change society but don't change people's souls?Do you know anyone who believes that God will accept them into Heaven because of the good deeds they do for others? If so, what does this view say about Jesus's death on the cross?Pray for the Holy Spirit to help you push back darkness this week.
Christianity is simple. In fact, this is how simple Christianity is: in Romans 10:9, the apostle Paul says, “if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” That's it! It really is that simple: “if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Do you believe that Jesus is Lord, Lord of all creation, Lord of the universe, your Lord? Then say it with me: “Jesus is Lord.”Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:18-31Guest Speaker: Matthias Benfey

Preach Christ Crucified: Scripture Reflection for May 28, 2025 by Priests for Life
In this thought-provoking episode of Upon Further Review, hosts Cody Kitchen and Dr. John Hall shift the focus to one of the most foundational and often-misunderstood elements of the Christian faith: the theology of the cross.Drawing from the writings of the Apostle Paul, Cody and Dr. Hall dive deep into what the cross truly means—not just as a symbol, but as a declaration of God's power, wisdom, and grace. They explore how Christ's crucifixion reframes human pride, redefines strength, and reveals the stunning humility at the heart of salvation.Key Takeaways:The Power of the Cross: What makes the cross more than just a historical event?The Significance of the Cross: Why Paul makes it central to his theology.Christ Crucified: What does this say about God's character and our redemption?Humility in Salvation: How the cross confronts human pride.Why the Cross Still Matters Today.And don't miss our fan-favorite finale—the "That's Stupid" Segment—where things get a little lighter as we poke fun at some of life's oddities and our pastor's favorite hobby!

Although often overlooked, Mary Magdalene was a faithful and true disciple of Jesus Christ. She and the other women supported Jesus' ministry financially. She was at the crucifixion and burial. After God raised him from the dead, Jesus appeared to her first, making her the chief eyewitness of the resurrection. Luke 8:1-3 Mary Magdalene and other women accompanied Jesus during his ministry, providing for him financially. After Jesus changed Mary's life, casting out seven demons, she followed him. Mark 15:40-41 Mary had seen Jesus cure the sick, teach in parables, and preach the gospel of the Kingdom from town to town. When the Roman government crucified him, she was there. She heard him utter his final words from the cross. Mark 15:46-47 Mary was there when Joseph took him down from the cross and buried him in his tomb. It is because of her that the disciples knew where Jesus was buried. Luke 23:54-24:1 Mary insisted on anointing his body. Apparently, she didn't think it had been done properly. She approached the tomb early in the morning on Sunday. Mark 16:1-7 Mary first discovered the empty tomb and heard the message that Jesus had been raised. John 20:1-10 She ran and got Peter. He and another disciple confirmed the empty tomb but didn't fully understand the situation. Mary remained behind when they left. John 20:11-18 Jesus first appeared to Mary in his resurrected state. In a world when women's testimonies were dismissed, Jesus picked a woman as his first eyewitness. She went off to proclaim to the apostles, “I have seen the Lord!The post Christ Series 3: Christ Crucified and Risen first appeared on Living Hope.

Send me a Text Message!Thursday of the last week was the very first communion in the history of the world! So in this episode we have a very simple focus on communion. This mini-drama set in the context of the Passover (a great celebration of deliverance) remembers, celebrates, even revels in the death of Jesus. That's what communion is all about; we proclaim the Lord's death. We celebrate Christ Crucified. I'll be honest, part of me cringes when I put those three words together. Celebrate -- Christ -- Crucified. It is a mysterious wonder that they could be put together and still have meaning. But they do, such a deep meaning that transformed the foundations of reality. Are we ready to celebrate Christ crucified?

We are taking a look at the Biblical Passion of Christ as recorded in the Gospel of John, chapters 18 and 19. This is a very special season here on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast. Thank you for being here with us.The Unchanging Word Bible study with Dr. John G. Mitchell is in John 19 verses 13-24 for this lesson and we Welcome you! As Dr. Mitchell walks us through this chapter, we see Jesus delivered over to be crucified. At it was 9:00 in the morning when Pilate said to the Jews, "Behold Your King." Jesus having been led out, was crucified between two thieves, He Himself in the center.Dr. Mitchell emphasizes that wherever you find Jesus He is always the center. Dr. Mitchell will point us to the Word of God where five times, Jesus is the center of attraction. Is He the focus of your attention when you read the Word? Is He at the center of your life? Good questions for each of us.Now, let's turn to John 19 verse 13 with Dr. Mitchell speaking of the centrality of our Lord Jesus Christ.
This Sunday we will continue our study of Mark in 15:21-32. In this passage, we will see Jesus lead to His crucifixion. Many in this passage mock and ridicule him, but as we will see Jesus dies on the cross for the sins of the world.

My name is Rev. Alvin Lewis of Power To Change Ministry. Thank you for sharing your day with us, we would love to hear from you, your feedback is very important.Galatians 5:9-16 (NASB)9 A little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough. 10 I have confidence in you in the Lord that you will adopt no other view; but the one who is disturbing you will bear his judgment, whoever he is. 11 But I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been abolished. 12 I wish that those who are troubling you would even mutilate themselves.13 For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. 14 For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, “YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.” 15 But if you bite and devour one another, take care that you are not consumed by one another.16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh.Power To Change Ministry Rev.

Morning Worship Sermon with Rev. Bud Hance Scripture reference Isaiah 53:5 5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.
In this sermon, we behold the transformational power of Christ Crucified—the heart of the historic Christian faith. As we walk through Luke 22:63-23:25, we witness Jesus, the Suffering Servant, who endures the agony of the cross, and the Sufficient Sacrifice, who atones for the sins of His people.In a world that often seeks power, wisdom, and eloquence, we are reminded that true hope is found in Christ alone—crucified for sinners, victorious over death.

We are learning how to live out the gospel in community. Have you ever noticed that contending to win and contending for truth are often not the same? Contending for truth calls you to deal deeply with the inner person. In some ways this is at the heart of embracing Christ Crucified in community.

1 Corinthians 2:2 — What is the mission of the church? Believers and unbelievers ask this question with some saying that the mission of the church is to lobby governments. Others claim that the church is to be a means of social change. In this sermon on 1 Corinthians 2:2 titled “Jesus Christ, Crucified,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones considers what the Bible says is the mission of the church. Paul the apostle is preaching Christ and Him crucified. He is not merely advocating for external social change, nor is he looking to the greatest philosophers of the day for answers. Paul's answer to the question of the church's mission is simple: proclaim Christ and Him crucified. This is the only message that saves people, not only from their sins, but from eternal damnation as the just punishment for rebellion. All human wisdom and culture stand under the judgment of God in Jesus Christ. All are responsible for their actions before God almighty. All stand condemned before the holy God. This is why the church must proclaim Jesus Christ crucified. There is no other way of salvation. This sermon confronts all with the simple question: “do I believe in Jesus as my savior?”
