This is our last week looking at 1 Corinthians - next week begins the season of Lent. This week we look at Paul using a sports metaphor to explain perseverence. We'll look at what he says, learning three areas where perseverance is necessary, and some tips on how to do that.

This week we are once again in 1 Corinthians, this week looking at at chapter 9. We're looking to see how we have been entrusted with the good news. But it's not ours to cherish and protect, it's ours to share. We'll see some easy ways to share, and some points from our reading to keep in mind as we do. Tell me what you think!
This week we are once again in 1 Corinthians, this week looking at at chapter 8:1-13. We're looking to see how we might become stumbling blocks to others living their faith, or maybe just coming to faith. Paul talks about meat offered to idols, but the principals he discusses can be used to identify other stumbling blocks we may put in the way. Tell me what you think...
Sermons from Waverly First Baptist Church. Pastor Steve Dygert. This week we're continuing in 1 Corinthians, looking at a passage that talks about marriage, but the section we're looking at talks about how short the time is. Jesus is coming back, and Paul thought it was immenent. What can we learn from this?
This week we are starting a five-week look at 1 Corinthians. Today we'll see a bit of the cultural context into what Corinth was like in the first century, as well some of what Paul is telling them in our reading. We'll see that while we have great freedom in Christ, we can't let anything master us - Christ is our Master. We'll also see that we are not our own, that everything we do affects others, and that we were bought for a price.
Sermons from Waverly First Baptist Church. Pastor Steve Dygert. This week is Baptism Sunday, the Sunday we look at the baptism of Jesus, and what baptism really means. We'll look at some ties to the Old Testament, how it got started, then we'll see what John the Baptist did, as well as what we are encouraged to do as beleivers today.
This is actually Christmas Sunday on the Church Calendar. It seems strange that Christmas Eve was actually a week ago, and we're still looking at Christmas Sunday. But one of the things that Christmas made available was our adoption as sons and daughters of God. So that will be our topic today. What does it mean that we are adopted by God?
This is the Fourth Sunday of Advent, and we're finishing up on our series titled What Child is This. We're looking at the four names of Christ from Isaiah 9:6. This week we'll see that Jesus is our Prince of Peace. He is the peace we seek, and he provides the peace we need. We live in light of that peace in the present as we learn to be shaped by it and prepare for the future when it will be all we know.
This is the Third Sunday of Advent, and we're continuing our series titled What Child is This. We're looking at the four names of Christ from Isaiah 9:6. This week we'll see that sometimes viewing our lives as moments leading up to a grand event helps us see glimpses of what God is doing. However, Jesus’s arrival centuries ago and his subsequent death, burial, and bodily resurrection call us to accept that in some ways the grand event is already in motion.
And we'll see some of the ways that Jesus is our Everlasting Father.
This is the Second Sunday of Advent, and we're continuing our new series titled What Child is This. We're looking at the four names of Christ from Isaiah 9:6. This week we'll see that Isaiah’s audience had experienced tragedy and destruction at the hands of opposing forces and nations. Isaiah used his words to show them that God will be taking care of them through the Messiah, the King.
We have the same hope. Jesus will lead us as the Mighty God he is; our confidence in him to preserve us now and forever is critical. |
