What We Have Here is Failure to Commune
Grace Central Coast
Are we actually building community on Sundays, or are we just watching a service alone together? This week, we dive into 1 Corinthians 11 to see why a purely "private faith" is a category error, and how the Lord’s Table is a radical call to drop our preferences, love our spiritual family, and proclaim the Gospel as one unified body. 📖 SCRIPTURE READING: 1 Corinthians 11:17-34 📝 Download the Message Notes:

What's Up With Headship and Head Coverings?
Grace Central Coast
1 Corinthians is full of thorny and tough texts. In this message, we come to toughest text in our study so far, 1 Corinthians 11:2-16, where Paul addresses headship and head coverings. We can't go around it. We must go through it. So let’s seek and strive to carefully understand and apply it together.

Does It Build Up?
Grace Central Coast
As we make countless decisions around how to spend our time, talents, money and our lives, we most often ask "Is it legal?

Trading Worldly Rights for Spiritual Rewards
Grace Central Coast
Why does Paul refuse payment for his church ministry? Should all pastors do the same? Paul teaches us that while we are afforded many rights, we are called to use (or forfeit) everything and anything for the sake of the gospel. 📖 SCRIPTURE READING: 1 Corinthians 9:1-18 📝 Download the Message Notes:

By a Man Has Come the Resurrection of the Dead

Love Builds Up
Grace Central Coast
Just like some of the Christians in Corinth, we are those who fight for our personal rights and freedoms.
