Spiritual Gifts | Brian Sorgenfrei

Adult Sunday School: 1 Corinthians: Life in Babylon–Again!
The city of Corinth was at the crossroads of the Roman Empire. Just as ideas, culture, and wealth flowed through this cosmopolitan and avant-garde city, so too did sex and debauchery. Paul’s fledgling church was floundering amid the influence of the world around them. Paul wrote about how they, and we today, as God’s people are to navigate the maze of questions that arise while living in the midst a secularizing culture.
Meets every Sunday at 9:45am in the sanctuary. Taught by Foster Gullett, Brian Sorgenfrei, Errol Castens, Clint Wilcke & Les Newsom.

Walk in Love with Money, Sex, Alcohol & the Spirit | Brian Sorgenfrei

Scripture Reference: Ephesians 5:1-20
Paul continues to focus on the new life the Lord brings by the Spirit dwelling in His people. The new life is marked by love, which practically changes our relationship with money, sex, and alcohol. The Scriptures press in on these issues, not to shame us, but to bring them to light for healing and transformation.

Sermon Points:

  • Walking Opposed to Love in Darkness (vv. 3-8)
  • Walking in Love as Light (vv. 8-20)

The New Self | Brian Sorgenfrei

Scripture Reference: Ephesians 4:17-32
How does change happen in the Christian Life? Paul in Ephesians 4 says it involves a putting off and a putting on. But what’s so encouraging is that the life you are putting on actually is the life that fits the person who is united to Christ. It’s a life of truth, kindness, generosity, and forgiveness.

Sermon Points:

  • The Old Self (vv.17-22)
  • The New Self (vv. 23-32)
