In our final teaching in our "Make Good Choices" series, we dive into Paul's teachings from 1 Corinthians 6:12-20, where he addresses the Corinthian church's misunderstandings about sexual ethics and freedom. We explore how Paul's ancient wisdom on the value of the body and the importance of love and responsibility in our choices can guide us in de…

At the top of every sermon note is the mission statement for Missio Dei Fellowship. It is woven into every part of the day to day processes and actions of the church. But having a mission statement and owning that statement are two very different things. In these two sermons the people of Missio are exhorted to carefully consider the what, why and …

In "Make Good Choices Pt. 2 - See You in Court," we explore how the Corinthian church's approach to conflict—taking disputes to corrupt Roman courts—contradicts the gospel's call for restoration and unity. Throughout this letter, Paul challenges us to handle disagreements within the church by embodying the future kingdom of God now, choosing love a…

Sermon NotesBy Justin Gruber

In this chapter we see what appears to be the triumph of evil and the reality that the only true victor is God Himself. We start with a murder of a humble Christian and we end with the death of an evil king and the ongoing spread of the gospel.By Matthew Henry

In this teaching from Make Good Choices, Jonny explores the divisions that plagued the early church in Corinth and how they still resonate with us today. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 1:1, 10-18, we’ll discuss how Christians often align themselves with different leaders, ideologies, or interpretations, and the impact this has on our unity. Jonny unpac…

The Bible is a wonderful, beautiful, and (if we're being honest) confusing book. It contains some of the greatest stories, moral advice, and life giving wisdom while at the very same time it can be complicated, startling, and hard to understand.

The gospel is not for a people group, it is for the world and in this chapter we see the breaching of the dam as the gospel begins to press rapidly outward into the Gentile lands. And as we examine this story we also have the opportunity to learn a few …

He really is The Prince of Peace and we really believe swords will be turned into plow shares, lions will lie down with lambs, and that our God died for enemies. So what is peace? What does it mean for us? And how do we become “peacemakers?”…
