Paul's letter to the Corinthian church is a response to real questions by real people whom Paul knows and loves. 1 Corinthians is certainly a practical and theological answer to questions, but at its core, it is an example of shepherding a flock of sinners saved by grace. Answers are given, thoughts are expounded, and falsehoods are confronted with a heart that these people would experience grace and peace walking in the privilege that it is to be those called into the fellowship of Jesus Christ by the God of the universe. DNA Questions - 1 Corinthians 12:12-31DiscoverWhat is the primary purpose of the Spirit when considering this section?In what ways is the metaphor of the body helpful in understanding the concept of the "body of Christ"?How do you see God's wisdom in all of this? NurtureDo you ever feel like you aren't a part of the body?

From the unity of “one heart and soul” to the radical generosity of open hands, this message shows how our identity in Christ transforms the way we live with one another. With real-life examples and biblical insight, you'll discover how grace builds, consumerism destroys, and why strengthening each other is central to God's design for His people.

The church is designed to be a gospel-centered community where believers live in authentic, loving relationships rooted in humility, accountability, and discipleship. Rather than simply attending services, Christians are called to live out their faith daily in fellowship, service, and mutual support. The guys point out that even within the church, many still experience deep loneliness, often because church has become more about performance than connection. True accountability means being both known and loved—helping one another grow into Christlikeness with grace rather than judgment. The guys emphasize that discipleship is not just about sharing information but about sharing life, inviting others into your everyday rhythms and walking together in faith. A healthy biblical community practices redemptive discipline, offers forgiveness, and fosters unity among people who might otherwise be divided but are now bound together by Christ. When believers open their hearts and homes, speak into each other's lives, and share a common vision for reaching the lost, the church becomes the vibrant, transformative community it was always meant to be.Send us a textThanks for listening!

In this sermon we are drawn to the unity of the Spirit and the bond of peace that marks the true Church-one body, one hope, one Lord. Explore what it mans to belong to the communion of saints, where grace is not just received but shared, and where we are called to walk in humility, patience, and love. Through the Spirit, Christ gathers, protects, and preserves His people, making the Church a place of strength, stability, and belonging.

Transcript:Hello, this is Pastor Don Willeman of Christ Redeemer Church. Welcome to The Kingdom Perspective. The church is an adaptable institution because the gospel can work its redemptive magic in any and every situation. It's a culture not merely a strategy. By culture we mean a shared way of thinking, feeling, and living that is driven by the very life of Jesus. At the heart of the church is a culture, shaped by the model, mandate, and magnetism of the Jesus Christ. Through our union with Him, we share in His Spirit—the Holy Spirit, which is the very love of God dwelling eternally in the unity of the Trinity. It's supernatural! It's not something we create, but something that creates us. It is an organism and not merely an organization. From its inception, Christ Redeemer Church and its culture has been driven by three governing and interconnected principles that flow from this supernatural reality: 1) Gospel-centeredness—the Gospel of God's sovereign grace 2) Gospel Relationships & Community, and 3) Gospel Mission/Vision/Vocation. There is a flow to these principles: 1) the Gospel-centeredness nourishes 2) Gospel Community, which in turn sends us out on 3) Gospel Mission. In everything we do, we seek to embody and be driven by these three cultural values. CRC is most basically not a strategy or structure (methodology) but a culture—a way/mindset of being and doing (deep meaning). And our culture as a church is thick, deep, and adaptable—it can flourish in whatever circumstance. Culture eats strategy lunch. And that's something to think about from The Kingdom Perspective. “(In saying, ‘He ascended,' what does it mean but that he had also descended into the lower regions, the earth? He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.) And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.”~Ephesians 4:9-16 (ESV)

Discussion QuestionsSermon Overview Jesus has brought God's salvation for all who evidently repent.Digging Deeper    Read Luke 3:1-201. Luke begins this chapter (vv. 1-2) with a long introduction of many important people at the time and then transitions to talking about John the Baptist. What do you think Luke is trying to say about the perceived and real importance of these different people and their message?2. Based on this passage and sermon, what does it mean for a person to repent? (see verses 3; 10-14).3. Why isn't repentance just doing the right things (like vv. 10-14) to earn God's favor and acceptance? 4. What does John the Baptist's fulfillment of Isaiah 40:3-5 tell us about who Jesus is? Why is this significant? 5. Have you repented of your sin? If so, what did this look like?6. Is repentance something we do once, when we first become a believer, and then never need to do it again? Unpack what this looks like in your life.7. Is there a habitual sin in your life right now you need to repent of?  8. Practically speaking, what does it look like for us to “bear fruit in keeping with repentance”? What fruit have you seen in your own life? What fruit do you see in others in your Gospel Community? 9. Luke 3:10-14 provides us with some concrete examples of how “bearing the fruits of repentance” will show itself in our attitudes toward and use of our money and possessions. Does your attitude toward (and use of) money and possessions reveal “fruits of repentance” in your life? If so, how so?   10. The people of Israel in John's day were tempted to think that, given their spiritual lineage (3:8), they were in a right standing with God, despite their lack of repentance. What are some examples of things we can (in a similar way) be tempted to look to as substitutes for repentance? (Examples: being good, knowing lots about the Bible, being raised in a Christian home)11. How did Pastor Brett help us understand the meaning of the end of verse 16, “He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.”? What is a takeaway for us from this? Prayer

Luke 19:10). How should God's purposes in sending Jesus into the world shape our purposes as individuals, Gospel Communities, and as a local church?   Who could you share this story within the coming week? Prayer

Even though Paul is in prison, the good news of Jesus spreads throughout the prison guards (v. 13) and encourages followers of Jesus to be bold in sharing the gospel too (v. 14). Where else in the Bible or in your own life have you experienced God using something that seems bad for good? (see Acts 2:23 for the ultimate example).4. Paul talks about groups of people with differing motivations for preaching the gospel: (1) out of envy and rivalry and (2) out of goodwill.  Surprisingly, Paul doesn't call this first group out and instead rejoices that Christ is proclaimed      (v. 18a). How should Paul's response affect the way we prioritize the spread of the gospel?      5. How might this passage and this sermon help us be a part of spreading the gospel to others?6. What would suffering for the gospel look like for us today? What's the worst that could happen if you share the gospel with a friend?7. What keeps us from sharing the gospel with others?8. How could the members of this Gospel Community help you share the gospel with others?9. Share if there's someone in your life that you'd love to know Jesus. How might God use you to share the gospel with them?PrayerDefining Value 8: At CrossWay we see ourselves, along with all Christians, as commissioned by God to engage with our local community and with the larger world in such a way that the Gospel is faithfully demonstrated and clearly proclaimed.  We also see it as a specific charge from God to pass on to our children a clear and complete doctrine and a compelling witness to the transforming grace of God, and by so doing, firmly establish the next generation in its faith in Jesus Christ.  CrossWay is committed to the advance of the gospel in our homes, in our community and in the world.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. Helping our children with laundry and getting them dressed is a daily ritual, often filled with the same simple motions—helping them put on new clothes, changing out of the old, and making sure they're ready for the day. What seems like a small task can actually reveal something powerful about the gospel and how God interacts with us. Each moment we help our children get dressed can serve as a small reminder of this spiritual renewal. Just as we care for them in practical ways, God cares for us, clothing us in his love and teaching us to walk in his ways.  By finding God in these small, everyday routines, we allow his presence to shape not only our children but our own hearts. Through the simple task of dressing them, we can be reminded of the gospel's renewing power—making each day a fresh start.
