It seems to me that we are free indeed from the centuries-old tradition of Sunday hats. While the Queen and her royal British family might protest; and while you will certainly see the cultural vestiges at the good old Kentucky Derby, it is no longer typical to see women of the church wearing these fashion statements as they once did to the worship gathering. So why did women wear hats to church in the first place? Is it okay that this custom has for the most part run its course? Or, should faithful Christians bring it back to the future? We will get to answer these and other fascinating questions as we look at the textual culprit for thousands of years of great fashion in 1 Corinthians 11:1-16.

After entertaining the possibility that mature Christians could partake in eating food sacrificed to idols provided they keep their less mature brothers and sisters in mind, Paul shifts gears to warn those mature believers of the dangers of coming close to idol worship: "Be careful that you don't fall!" What could this mean for us as we deal with our own set of temptations in the modern world?

We've made it out of 1st Corinthians 7 with much new wisdom but also with some tired legs. This Sunday our topic of consideration is this - Would you ever give up a God-approved right in your own life to simply make the walk of faith a little easier and more fruitful for your faith brother or faith sister?

As we finish out our study of the 1st Corinthians seven passage, we will get to ask the important question of what the relationship between happiness and marriage is. What does happily ever after really mean?

After several weeks of discussing the role sex plays in the life of Jesus' followers, we turn this week to the surprising truth about singleness and the "gift of celibacy." How could that be a gift? Why does Paul say that he wishes all could be like him (unmarried)?

Paul seems to have said a lot about restrictions on sexual expression... is there any good news when it comes to sex? Is sex altogether outside the scope of the Christian life? The Corinthians wanted to know and so they asked Paul. Here is his answer...

This week we look at the passage found in 1 Corinthians 6:9-11.

After a long couple of years for us all, the godly love so personified in the life of a mother has been stretched and leaned upon more than ever. It is that same love we see so often in Jesus -- the Savior who washed his disciples' feet -- that is so needed in moments of uncertainty and distress. It is the love that fiercely protects and gives away the freedom of self to serve the needs of others. It is the love that we cannot live without, or we will barely live at all. It is the love we each possess as God's image-bearers and are asked to share in the world in our own unique ways. It is Motherly Love.

We're jumping back into our 1 Corinthians series! This week we look at 1 Corinthians 6:1-8 where Paul unpacks a somewhat foreign experience: Christians taking each other to court - Yikes! I hope to invite you into the core essence of their malfunction so that we all might grow in how we might disagree AND love one another.

This is the "all sermons" archive going back to the Sideris inception in 2015.

Like any good trilogy franchise, the Easter Story really has three parts: The Cross, The Resurrection, and The Ascension. The true story of Jesus has to include all three parts to make sense and to save us. So at Sideris, we take three weeks each year to unpack each of the 3 parts of the story surrounding Easter.This week is all about The Ascension. What does it mean that Jesus ascended? What does that matter where Jesus is now and what he is doing? Why is this part of Jesus' story often forgotten or overseen?

The true story of Jesus has to include all three parts to make sense and to save us. So at Sideris, we take three weeks each year to unpack each of the 3 parts of the story.This week we lean into the Power of the Cross! We take a look at the events surrounding the moments leading up to Christ's crucifixion. Putting ourselves in the shoes of the crowds that welcomed Jesus into Jerusalem with shouts of joy and proclamations of his kingship to then band together to chant and march for his crucifixion just a few days later. It's our goal over the course of these next 3 Sundays to de-familiarize you with the subjects of the cross, resurrection, and ascension so that you might discover new ways of considering them that lead to abundant joy.

After last Sunday's amazing stories from Greece - we're jumping back into our 1 Corinthians series looking into chapter 5. Paul shows us just how much we should care about a brother's eternal state as opposed to his temporary happiness.

This Sunday we will press pause on our Corinthians series to report back (also from Greece) news of what God is still doing in that country 2000 years later!

This Sunday we're wrapping up chapter 4 in 1 Corinthians together. Here we find that Paul provided some much-needed orientation before continuing on in his letter. Why?

March 20, 2022 || 1 Corinthians: Orientation Day - Audio

This week we wrapped up Paul addressing the Apollos/Paul/Jesus divisions which began all the way back in 1:10 - which means we have been unpacking issues related to this subject since January 24th! Receiving God’s good gifts but not using them is a great way to talk about sanctification in one’s life. It gets the believer focused on the positive (the things to pursue) instead of solely the negative (the things they shouldn’t do).

This Sunday, we just might see how the wisdom of the fictional character Forrest Gump might help us understand 1 Cor. 3:18-4:5.

Continuing our series in 1 Corinthians we dive into Chapter 3 where Paul begins to address the church of Corinth, not as spiritual people, but as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ. Ready for the meat of the Word? Put your milk bottles down and let's dig in!
