Title: There Remain with God
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 7:1-40
Description: How can we be free from restlessness and discontent? Paul helps us connect with God’s acceptance of us, his sovereignty over us, and his future for us.
Date: 08/25/13
Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: Jesus Christ And Your Sex Life
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 6:12-20
Description: Why do Christians think sex outside of marriage is such a bad thing? Given what Paul says here, the answer to that question has much to do with the sacredness of the body, the power of sex, and the purpose of sex within marriage.

Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: Conflict And The Kingdom
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 6:1-11
Description: How we handle conflict shows what we love and where we belong. When our hearts are locked on the things of this world, we’re driven to protect what we have and compete for even more. When we realize God has not given us what we deserve, we’re free to lay aside our rights and love with forgiveness.
Date: 08/11/13
Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: Love, Judgment, And The Healthy Church
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 5:1-13
Description: Could it ever be a good thing to remove someone from the church because of their sin? Paul’s stern warning explains why we must confront sin if we truly love each other, if we truly love the church body, and if we truly love God and his glory.
Date: 08/04/13
Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: Gospel Humility: Be Like Paul
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 4:1-21
Description: Paul uses his own life to call his friends to a humility rooted in the promises of the gospel. When we embrace God’s approval of us through Jesus, our security isn’t tied to what others think of us or what we think of ourselves. And when we taste the sweetness of what’s ours in Jesus, we’re set free from the restless pursuit of what we think we need or deserve.
Date: 07/21/13
Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: You Are God's
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:1-17
Description: The church in Corinth was falling apart because its members were insecure and self-obsessed; or, in Paul’s words, they were behaving like infants, in a merely human way. The unflinching challenge of this text confronts all of us with two crucial questions: Who are you? And what are you doing with your life?
Date: 07/07/13
Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: Natural or Spiritual?
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2:6-16
Description: Still pushing back against self-centered divisiveness in the church, Paul insists there’s only one distinction that really matters: those who love the cross of Jesus and those who reject it. And it’s only by God’s Spirit that any of us come to understand and to love that cross, to see the wisdom of God.
Date: 06/30/13
Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: Gospel-Centered Minimalism
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2:1-5
Description: The aim of Paul’s ministry was to see deeper faith in the power of God apart from any substitute. If we share his goal, that means our message must focus always and only on Jesus and his cross. And it means our methods must clarify the power of the cross, not distract from it.
Date: 06/23/13
Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: The Foolishness And Glory Of God
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:18-31
Description: Paul calls the message of the cross foolishness, and there’s no question that’s how it’s always seemed to the powers that be. But what did Paul mean by this description? And why would God choose this foolishness?
Date: 06/16/13
Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: Be United
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:10-17
Description: In this passage Paul confronts one of the major problems in the church at Corinth and in so many churches since then: the people were divided against each other. Paul points us to where division comes from, why it’s so dangerous, and how the cross helps us overcome it.
Date: 06/09/13
Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: Introducing 1 Corinthians: The Cross-Centered Community
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:1-9
Description: Paul writes this letter to a dysfunctional church plant to clarify what defines a healthy church community: holiness, grace, and love.
Date: 05/19/13
Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: The Worshipful Life
Scripture: Isaiah 66:1-2
Description: This final chapter in Isaiah captures the only suitable response to the message of the book: Worship. And worship that pleases God hinges on the heart posture of the worshiper. God wants worshipers who come desperate and empty handed, who tremble at his word.
Date: 05/12/13
Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: While You Wait
Scripture: Isaiah 61:10-62:7
Description: Isaiah is full of sweeping promises from God about his plans to redeem his people and remake the world. Many of these promises haven’t been fulfilled yet, so we wait. This text shows us how to wait in faith: we testify to what’s coming and we pray until it gets here.
Date: 05/05/13
Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: What God Wants From Us
Scripture: Isaiah 58:1-12
Description: Genuine trust in God and his promises produces a different way of life. But God isn’t interested in any good works we might offer as a kind of bargaining chip to get what we want from him. God is pleased by good works done for others as an overflow of our joyful security in him.
Date: 04/28/13
Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: Trust In God
Scripture: Isaiah 36:1-37:38
Description: Isaiah’s beautiful descriptions of God’s plan to redeem sinners are only good news for us if we know that they’re promises to us, and if we know how we’re supposed to respond to his word. This story of King Hezekiah in crisis, one of Isaiah’s only stories, is meant to show us what it looks like to claim God’s promises. It looks like a trust that’s rooted in despair, centered on God and his character, and motivated by God’s glory.
Date: 04/21/13
Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: New Creation
Scripture: Isaiah 65:17-25
Description: God’s plan to redeem extends as far as the brokenness of the world. In the new heavens and the new earth, there will be gladness and no sorrow; life and no death; fruitfulness and no futility; peace and no hostility.
Date: 04/14/13
Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: The Quantity and Quality of God's Redemption
Scripture: Isaiah 55:1-5
Description: Because of the Servant’s work, God offers the only thing that can truly satisfy us—himself. And he offers himself to all who see their need for him, everyone from everywhere.
Date: 04/07/13
Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: Gracious Redefinition
Scripture: Isaiah 54:1-10
Description: This chapter unpacks the beautiful reality that’s possible because the Servant has suffered for our sins. God’s grace can reframe your past, and God’s grace can perfectly secure your future.
Date: 03/31/13
Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: The Servant Shall Be Exalted
Scripture: Isaiah 53:10-12
Description: The resurrection proves Jesus’s death fully accounted for sin and opened up a new world of hope.
Date: 03/24/13
Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: The Royal Servant Suffers
Scripture: Isaiah 52:13-53:12
Description: God’s promised redeemer, both king and servant, triumphs through suffering. That’s the unexpected message of this famous passage, which explains for us both why he had to suffer and why his suffering is such good news for us. His suffering is substitutionary, voluntary, and obedient.
