How do our vocations bring glory to God? In ancient Corinth, Paul and his friends exemplified the Gospel in the work of their hands.

Where churches once flourished, many have been replaced with mosques or have been destroyed. Yet in the godless city of Corinth, Paul laid a healthy foundation for a lasting church.

How do we shine the light of Christ in a complex culture?

The explosive power of the Gospel was felt in the world of the first century. The Holy Spirit began convicting of sin, causing a fearful jailer to ask, “What must I do to be saved?” In this message, we unlock two motivations to witness for Christ: faith and joy.

How do we share the good news in hostile places? Because Paul and Silas believed the Gospel was the power of God, they weren’t intimidated in new territory.

When we pray for an hour by ourselves, we’re not actually alone. In Gethsemane, Jesus asked the disciples to pray with Him. They fell asleep.

If it’s true that our schedules reflect our priorities, how important is God to us?
