    1 Corinthians 12 - One Body with Many Parts, Needed and Needy in Christ

    What does it really mean to belong to the Church? In this message from 1 Corinthians 12:12–30, Pastor Elliott explores God’s beautiful design for His people as one body made up of many diverse parts. The Church is not built on sameness, celebrity, or self-sufficiency—but on unity in Christ and dependence on one another. Drawing from Paul’s powerful body metaphor, this sermon addresses both sides of the struggle many believers feel: the temptation to think, “I’m not important,” and the temptation to think, “I don’t really need others.” Scripture confronts both with a liberating truth: in Christ, you are needed—and you are needy. You’ll hear how the Holy Spirit unites believers into one covenant family, why every gift and personality matters, and how honoring one another protects the Church from division. This message also calls us to embrace our shared mission of making disciples together—growing in maturity, love, and joy as we serve side by side. Whether you feel overlooked, overburdened, disconnected, or uncertain about your place in the Church, this sermon invites you to rediscover the dignity, purpose, and belonging Christ has given you in His body. “Because you are the body of Christ, and individual members of it.”

    1 Corinthians 11:17-34 - The Lord's Supper, A Sign Seal, and Sharing with Christ and Each Other

    What is really happening when the church comes to the Table? In this message from 1 Corinthians 11:17–34, Pastor Elliott walks us through the beauty, depth, and seriousness of the Lord’s Supper. Far more than a religious routine, Communion is a sacred gift from Jesus—prescribed by Him, proclaimed among His people, practiced by the Church, and reserved for those who belong to Him. This sermon explores how the Lord’s Supper points us to Christ’s once-for-all sacrifice, seals the promises of the gospel, and unites believers in shared life with Jesus and one another. Along the way, we examine the early church’s failures in Corinth, the danger of approaching the Table selfishly, and the call to self-examination, repentance, and humble unity. You’ll also hear how Communion situates us in God’s great story—remembering Christ’s death, awaiting His return, and being shaped in holiness today. Whether you’ve taken the Lord’s Supper your whole life or are still learning its meaning, this message invites you to come to the Table with gratitude, reverence, and renewed faith. “Because we all receive freely from Christ, we are called to freely give.”

    1 Corinthians 7:21-24 - Bought at a Price: Following Christ in Your Situation by Zack Amis

    This sermon reminds us that our identity is not defined by status, power, limitation, or circumstance, but by belonging to Christ. Those with earthly freedom and influence are called to remember they are slaves to Christ—purchased to serve Him. Those who feel constrained, indebted, or trapped are called to remember they are free in Christ—purchased to belong to Him. Wherever we find ourselves, the calling is the same:Follow Christ in your situation and declare and demonstrate His Lordship and character. Listen and be strengthened to live faithfully—right where God has placed you.

    1 Corinthians 7:17-20 - Should I Say or Should I Go?

    “Let each person lead the life that the Lord has assigned to him.” (1 Cor. 7:17, 20) The reminder is simple and freeing—you are not accidentally where you are. The Lord has called you, assigned you, and placed you on purpose. Our task is to stay, to love God, to love others, and to make disciples right where He has us.

    1 Corinthians 5 - Godly Church Discipline

    What happens when a church confuses tolerance with grace? In this message from 1 Corinthians 5, Pastor Elliott Swoboda explores why church discipline is not cruel—but deeply loving. When sin goes unaddressed, the church’s witness, purity, and joy begin to erode. Drawing from Paul’s rebuke to the Corinthians and the words of Jesus Himself, this sermon reminds us that truth and grace are not enemies—they are brothers born of the same covenant. True love calls one another back from the fire, for the glory of God, the good of the sinner, and the health of Christ’s body.
