Humbling Reminders about the Church and Its Leaders
Speaker: Tim Theule
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:4-15
Date: 11.16.25
As we continue our MESSY CHURCH study of First Corinthians, we come to a bunch of helpful and humbling reminders for a church family and for church leaders as Paul continues to dismantle the factions and unite the church around the Gospel.
Developmentally Arrested
Speaker: Tim Theule
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2:6-3:4
Date: 11.9.25
God’s design and desire for his people is spiritual growth and maturity. We learn here that the Corinthian Christians aren’t growing up. They are still spiritual babies. This is true for some of us, too. Paul here reminds us that God has given us all we need to grow as he challenges us to GROW UP!
Nothing but Jesus Christ and Him Crucified
Speaker: Darren Nelson
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2:1-5
Date: 11.2.25
Paul reminds the Corinthians, and us, to forsake worldly wisdom and rest our faith solely on the power of the good news of Jesus Christ.
God’s Pleasure in Saving Through the Preaching of the Cross
Speaker: Tim Theule
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:18-31
Date: 10.26.25
We kick things off today by tackling three questions that arose after last week’s message, and then we return to 1 Corinthians 1 to see why God is pleased to save through the preaching of the cross.
The Word of the Cross
Speaker: Tim Theule
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:17-25
Date: 10.19.25
Four years after coming to faith in Jesus and coming together as a church, the Corinthians are now looking for MORE beyond the Gospel. Paul argues WHY the Gospel must be our unity, our center, and our focus as God’s people, the church.
No Divisions Among You
Speaker: Tim Theule
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:10-17
Date: 10.12.25
Paul loves the Messy Church at Corinth because God loves the Messy Church at Corinth. It's because Paul loves the church that he won't leave them in their mess, but leads them forward to become all that God has declared them to be. And it doesn't take him long to jump write into one of the core issues plaguing the church. The church is divided.
Fall Kick Off 2025
God’s Messy, Mysterious Church
Speaker: Tim Theule
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:1-9
Date: 10.5.25
Today we begin a study of First Corinthians. The Corinthian church was a MESSY CHURCH, full of divisions, problems, sin, and false teaching. Grace Central Coast is also a messy church! The Apostle Paul writes this letter because he loves and is committed to God’s messy church. In these opening verses he teaches us why we can love God’s messy church too.
