Pastor Dan emphasized that true faith is not produced by human wisdom, personality, or persuasive speech, but by the power of the Holy Spirit working through the simple message of Christ crucified. Using Paul’s example, he showed that God often works through weakness so that believers place their confidence fully in Him, leading us to live with humility and total dependence on God rather than ourselves.

Pastor Andrew taught from 1 Corinthians 1:26–31 that the gospel intentionally humbles human pride and magnifies God’s glory by showing that salvation is not earned by human wisdom, status, or strength, but given by God’s gracious calling. He emphasized that believers are chosen not because they are impressive by worldly standards, but so that all boasting is removed and Christ alone is honored as our wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. The message calls listeners to abandon self-reliance and fully trust Christ, both for salvation and daily life.

Pastor Dan preached that God saves sinners through the simple but powerful message of the cross—not through human wisdom, signs, or eloquence, but through preaching Christ crucified, which the world calls foolish. He reminded us that we must not alter the gospel to make it more appealing, because changing the gospel is spiritual malpractice—the cross is already God’s perfect plan, wiser and stronger than anything man can invent.

Pastor Dan preached from 1 Corinthians 1:10–17, emphasizing that faith in the gospel of Jesus Christ is the glue that unites Christians, not personalities, preferences, or secondary practices. He warned that division grows when believers rally around favorite leaders or lesser issues, but true unity is preserved when the church stays centered on Christ crucified and the shared faith that flows from the gospel.

Pastor Dan preached from 1 Corinthians 1:4–9, reminding believers that even spiritually messy Christians are saved, sustained, and secured by God’s grace—not their performance. He emphasized that God graciously gives spiritual gifts, faithfully keeps His people saved to the end, and calls them into a real relationship with Christ, concluding with a call for believers to grow up and live in light of who they already are in Jesus.

Pastor Dan opened 1 Corinthians by confronting a church that had stalled in spiritual growth, reminding believers that those who belong to God are called to live differently than the world around them. From Paul’s greeting, he emphasized that salvation means being set apart for God’s purposes, serving others, and living daily in the grace God supplies. The clear takeaway was simple and direct: if we belong to Christ, it’s time to grow up and start living like it.

Pastor Lance preached from Philippians 2:5–11, presenting Jesus as the humble King who willingly left the glory of heaven, took on human flesh, and obeyed the Father even to death on a cross. He called believers to embrace Christlike humility through serving others and obedient living, while finding hope in the certainty that Christ’s humility leads to His exaltation and eternal reign.

Pastor Dan preached that God sovereignly and graciously led unlikely seekers—the pagan wise men—to Jesus, proving that anyone who truly seeks Christ does so because God is already at work drawing them. He showed how Bethlehem’s role fulfilled prophecy, confirming the reliability of Scripture, and emphasized that encountering Jesus produces joy that naturally overflows into worship expressed through obedience, giving, and devotion.
