Date: September 10, 2017 Scripture: 1 Cor. 11:23a Speaker: Clint Nelson We exist to CONTINUE the ministry of Jesus in our homes, church, city and world. What does it mean to continue the ministry of Jesus? The second part of the sermon has to do with a unique idea for Parksiders to consider of whether or not we add a second Sunday morning service.
Date: September 3, 2017 Scripture: 1 Cor. 11:17-34 Speaker: Clint Nelson Our love for Jesus can't be private because it shows in how we love others. Christ's love for us wasn't an internal event - it was public and physical, which makes communion a reminder of this - that we are to love others in the way Jesus loves us (public example and physical acts). Christians don't just say our vows, we live them. Communion is a sacred space to renew our vows. Therefore, we are to examine our fidelity, repent of our sin, and then solemnly, gratefully and joyfully partake in communion. We come out on the other side more in love with Jesus - He is the faithful spouse that forgives our infidelity and is always working towards a bright future together.
Date: August 27, 2017 Scripture: Psalm 90:12 Speaker: Clint Nelson As we approach a new school year, we are reminded to consider path and pace to which we have been created and called.
Date: August 20, 2017 Text: 1 Cor. 10:1-11:1 Speaker: Clint Nelson Approaching sin with arrogance or apathy will cost us and others. So put Jesus and others first in our dealing with sin and we'll be someone worth imitating all the way into eternity.
Date: August 13, 2017 Text: Matthew 13:1-23 Speaker: Tom Brooks God is at work planting seeds of change that bring fruitfulness to our lives. Are we aware of His seeds and are we allowing them to grow?
Date: August 6, 2017 Scripture: 1 Cor. 9 Speaker: Clint Nelson When we’re in love the rest is just details. When we’re in love with Jesus the things of this world are just details. It was the love of Jesus and the love Paul had for Jesus that made things like marriage and a good career easy to give up. Paul’s words to the church in Corinth call to our attention the object of our affection.
Date: July 30, 2017 Text: 1 Cor. 8 Speaker: Clint Nelson Christ surrendered His rights so that we might see His love. Christians do the same.
Date: July 23, 2017 Text: 1 Corinthians 6:1-11 Speaker: Isaac Dagneau Should Christians file lawsuits against other Christians? Paul addresses this issue to the ancient church in Corinth in his first letter - a letter that encourages unity all throughout. However, 1 Corinthians 6:1-11 is not primarily about "lawsuits," but more about the character of the body of Christ. The church, ancient and present, ought to be team members who appropriately confront and take confrontation. Why? Because the church is washed, sanctified, and justified in Christ and by the Spirit of our God. We are not promoters of individualism or autonomy, but promoters of unity within the body of Christ.
Date: July 16, 2017 Text: 1 Cor. 6:9-11 Speaker: Clint Nelson The Bible tells us that no one is born straight, yet through faith in Christ, we can let go of our broken lives in exchange for His righteousness. To add to our brokenness, we have both the world and much of the church sending out the wrong message - that sex, marriage and family are the ultimate human experience, when they aren't. Oneness with God is the ultimate human experience. As we elevate certain human experiences, we elevate the horror of their perversion. Sexual sins become worse than gossip or materialism. Paul seeks for the church to be balanced - to see that the ultimate human experience is to be one with God; to see that all sins are equal yet uniquely damaging; and to see that [...]
Date: July 9, 2017 Text: 1 Corinthians 7:1-40 Speaker: Clint Nelson No one has a higher view of sex than Christians and yet no one needs it less than Christians. That is the message and power of the Gospel as it relates to sex and our relational status.
