Churches today, like the Corinthian church, often struggle with the tension between engaging their culture and being transformed by it. In this compelling episode, Dr. John Neufeld takes listeners into Paul's letter to the Corinthians, a church that had gradually adopted the pagan culture around them rather than following Christ's way of life. The timeless message challenges today's church to distinguish itself from contemporary culture while remaining engaged with the world around us.The Power of Christ in a Pagan World: Join Dr. John Neufeld for this 20-message series as he focuses on the book of 1 Corinthians. Covering chapters 1-4, The Power of Christ in a Pagan World looks at the many issues that confronted the church in Corinth; Problems that seemed to find their place within the church at every turn! This series helps us unpack the different conflicts and struggles of this early church in a relevant and practical way. Even though the church in Corinth existed a long time ago, they went through trials that might sound familiar to us in the 21st Century!
What do ancient Corinth and modern Canada have in common? More than you might think. In this opening message of a 4-week series on 1 Corinthians, Dr. John Neufeld explores the parallels between Paul's ministry in pagan Corinth and the challenges facing Canadian Christians today. As Dr. Neufeld unpacks the historical context of this busy Roman city, he shows how the Corinthian church's struggle to maintain Christian identity in a secular world speaks to believers navigating similar pressures in contemporary Canada.The Power of Christ in a Pagan World: Join Dr. John Neufeld for this 20-message series as he focuses on the book of 1 Corinthians.

In this sermon, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones looks at Paul's example of how the Christian church ought to address a pagan world. A world sunk in iniquity and on the verge of collapse needs the Christian message. Learn that Paul reasoned with these people. How should this Gospel be listened to? Man ought to tremble in some way under its message! The great theme is righteousness – on the the attributes of God Himself. Learn of this, "essential uprightness" – the opposite of anything perverted or weak. According to biblical teaching, not only is God righteous, but man was originally created to be righteous after God's image. Learn of the vital relationship between righteousness, temperance, and the judgement to come. Man is a responsible being made in God's image, and God will hold him responsible in the end. No man does good – men love darkness rather than light. The Law damns everyone to Hell, but the Gospel declares faith in Christ can save! God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son to lay the iniquity of sinners on Him. Praise God! Why do people reject this message? Stop resisting the Spirit and fighting against God. Receive this new life and nature, and start living as a new creation.

Special message from guest pastor Marty Herron. Walk in love, in the light, and in wisdom.(Ephesians 5:17-21)
Imagine how Paul felt as he made his way to Europe to share the gospel with people he knew would be very hostile to the message. Did it keep him from going? No! He relied on God to be his strength in time of trouble and threat. A great example for us today, wouldn't you agree?
Today we'll bring you a study in the sixteenth chapter, as Paul begins his second missionary journey. One of the greatest aspects of Paul's ministry was his developing trust in the Lord's ability to be the sole controlling influence in his life. Despite the complexity of his itinerary, despite the almost daily threats to his very life - Paul learned not to flinch in his trust of God.
