The church in Corinth had two problems: ranking and mistaking. They ranked each other by whose gift looked more important, and they mistook their own quieter gifts for having no gift at all. Both are pride. And pride in a church is what Tim Keller called the carbon dioxide of sin. You cannot see it or smell it, but it slowly kills the room. In this message from 1 Corinthians 12:4-6, Pastor Alex Wilson walks through three truths about every spiritual gift: they are from God by grace, they are for others, and they are empowered by God, not by you. Jesus modeled all three. He is the gift we did not deserve, He came not to be served but to serve, and He said He could do nothing on His own accord. Which means you have a place in the body of Christ that you did not earn and you cannot lose. So serve with everything you have. And if you feel like quitting right before you serve, that is the test: you are doing it in your own strength. The answer is not a sabbatical. The answer is rhythms of grace. Question to sit with: What has God empowered you to do for others that you never would have done before Christ?

Ecclesia | Alex Wilson

Why Church Matters | THE CALLED OUT ONES 1 Corinthians 11:17-34 Context: In the Corinthian house church, the meal came first and the Lord's Supper came last. The wealthy arrived early and ate their fill. The poor arrived after work and got the scraps. Their practice raised the question the whole passage answers: why do we gather? housechurchkauai.com

An Orderly Life

Description Alex Wilson preaches 1 Corinthians 11:2-16 at House Church Kauai. Paul is not writing about fabric. He is writing about order, and he gives four reasons for it, arranged from most important to least: the character of God in the Trinity, the order of creation in Genesis 2, the connectedness of men and women who cannot exist without each other, and the customs of the first century. The heart of the passage is that submission is not inferiority. The Son is fully equal in essence with the Father and willingly submits to Him. And Paul closes the door on abuse himself, because a man is now born of woman, and all things are from God. This is where the Gospel meets the text. Christ submitted to the will of the Father and laid down His life for His bride, not to keep her down but to make her clean. That is what headship looks like when God defines it. And it means order was never given to steal joy. There is more joy in order than there is in chaos. housechurchkauai.com

How to Not Fall Into Temptation

Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego got thrown into a furnace heated seven times hotter than normal, and someone showed up in there with them. Your idols will not do that. When the heat gets turned up in your life, look around for the thing you have been trusting. If you can’t find it, you just found your idol. In this message from 1 Corinthians 10:1-13, we walk through why Paul warns the Corinthian church with the failures of Israel in the wilderness, the four things that made them fall, and why you cannot kill an idol by trying harder. Idols do not get defeated. They get replaced. And the only One with the right to that throne is Christ. We also deal with the verse everybody quotes wrong. God never promised He would not give you more than you can bear. He promised He would not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, and that with the temptation He would provide the way out. Those are two very different promises. This is part of our Maturity series at House Church Kauai, verse by verse through 1 Corinthians. housechurchkauai.com This is a public episode.

How To Be Disciplined

Most churches teach that good Christians get extra crowns in heaven and lazy Christians barely make it in. That’s not in the Bible. And that teaching is quietly wrecking your walk with God. In this sermon from our Maturity series, Alex breaks down 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 and shows why the race Paul describes is not about earning rewards. It’s about certainty. Jesus already ran your race. He already set the score. It’s signed and sealed in blood. So why run with discipline at all? That’s the question this whole sermon answers. In this episode: * The “extra crowns” theology and where it falls apart * Two-tier Christianity: why carnal Christians don’t exist * What Paul actually means by “disqualified” (warning, not verdict) * The already and the not yet: what you’re actually running toward * Mike Tyson, cross country, and why certainty changes how you run * 3 systems to build so you actually finish You will trip. You will fall. But God is not recording your time. He’s waiting for you at the finish line.

Winning Others to Christ

Why do so many of our conversations about Jesus go nowhere? In 1 Corinthians 9:19-23, Paul says he became all things to all people so that by all means he might save some. But Paul was not a chameleon and he was not a compromiser. He followed the example of Christ, who confronted without condemning and connected without compromising. In this message from our Maturity series at House Church Kauai, we look at how Jesus approached the woman at the well and Nicodemus, what it means to lay down your freedoms so others can see Christ clearly, and why the bruised reed and smoldering wick change everything about how God sees you when your faith feels weak. Three practical takeaways: pull people up instead of letting them pull you down, know when to be silent and when to speak up, and stay fueled up so you have something to give. 1 Corinthians 9:19-23 | Maturity Series housechurchkauai.com This is a public episode.
