In the resurrection, we will finally be completely free from sin and its consequences. Is it harder for us to think about having bodies that are physically restored or bodies that are unaffected by sin?What effect of sin are we most looking forward to being destroyed? What could it look like for each of us to remain steadfast and immovable in our own lives?
Resurrection bodies?! This subject can bring up a lot of questions that we may never be able to answer. Rather than venturing into the weeds, we consider a few different questions: How does the reality of death before life hit our hearts? How does this influence the way we share the gospel with others? How does this increase our hope in what is to come?
The bodily resurrection of Christ is foundational to our faith, yet this can be a stumbling block to our culture. Where have we seen culture contradict the truth of the resurrection? Are there any beliefs you've had that contradicted the gospel? How have you seen God graciously correct those overtime? What has He used to correct any inconsistent beliefs?
The Gospel is a message of great hope for the undeserving -- and that's all of us! What does it really mean that the Gospel transforms everything?What things are you tempted to have as first importance?How did God deliver the gospel message to you?What has your own relationship with Jesus been like recently - more surviving or reviving?
Happy three years of the AfterWord! Another special guest joins us to share their journey of understanding spiritual gifts. Together, we explore how they can be used, the tensions that may arise, and how, in the end, these gifts draw our eyes to God.
This passage in 1 Corinthians raises some challenging but important questions. With the help of a special guest, we take time to wrestle with these tough topics while bringing the focus back to God’s character. How should we define prophecy? How do we weigh / discern prophecy? Do verses 34 and 35 apply to single women?
Paul exhorts the Corinthian church to earnestly desire the gifts -- so what has this looked like for each of us? This week, we discuss tongues and prophecy in the corporate gathering and welcome a special guest who shares both wisdom and pieces of her own story.
We often look at 1 Corinthians 13 without thinking of the surrounding context. At its core, this passage encourages the Corinthian church to exercise spiritual gifts in a way that is rooted in love. Our conversation begins with one important question: How does love practically play out in unity and not only in uniformity? Other questions: How do you not insist on your own way while holding tightly to conviction?How is this description of love different from what our culture tells us?&nb...
God appoints the gifts that the Church needs, and Paul reminds us of this truth in 1 Corinthians 12. This week, we dig deeper into these "higher gifts" and explore how they ultimately point toward unity. Some of the questions we consider include: What does unity really mean? How can we remain unified even when we land in different places regarding the gifts?Do individuals have gifts of healing and miracles?
God has graciously brought a diversity of individuals to The Town Church. In this episode, we take time to reflect on the unique giftings we see in a small number of those people and the beauty of God’s design in bringing us together. Some questions for discussion: A common belief today is that the Church does not have a place in our personal relationship with God. How does this passage speak to that?Why is uniformity not necessary for true unity?
When it comes to the gifts mentioned in this passage, many people fall along a wide spectrum in terms of their personal views. What is your personal experience with these gifts? How have your views continued to be shaped over the course of your Christian life?
Communion is a beautiful way we are able to experience the love of Christ and recognize the sacrifice made for us on the cross. This week, we talk about changes we made as a church in how we do Communion and do a deeper exploration of this passage in 1 Corinthians 11. What is your process before you take Communion?What things may distract us from Jesus in our church gatherings today? What responsibility do parents have in guiding their children as they take part in the Lord’s...
This passage is filled with timeless instruction that reveals God's good design for marriage. Additionally, we try to bring a bit of clarity to some of Paul's more confusing points (...because of the angels?). How can we see the cultural significance of this passage as Christians in Fort Collins? What is our personal response to God's design for marriage? How can we discern between timeless instruction and cultural instruction?
Through Christ, we've received the freedom to love others. But what can this look like in our lives today? This week, we unpack practical applications, discuss how the passage hit each of us, and consider what it really means to glorify God in life.
Brock joins us for this week's AfterWord as we discuss some hard questions surrounding the text. How did this passage strike you?How has an improper view of God and/or sin played out in your own life in the past?How can we fight against the sin of complaining? What are some ways God provides escape from temptation?
Giving up our rights to build gospel bridges. That's the main theme of chapter 9 that Jon showed us in his sermon. As we process that a bit more, we first explore a couple of clarification questions related to the text (Was it only Corinth in which Paul didn't receive financial support? Is his instruction here primarily targeting our interactions with unbelievers or believers or both?), and then we spend the bulk of our time talking through present day application. In Fort Collins, what are s...
We have received many freedoms through Christ, but with that comes navigating how to love others more than we love our own rights. This week, our conversation largely focuses around that idea, and we explore questions like: What are some things that we need to be willing to sacrifice for the sake of loving others? How can we discern when it's appropriate to challenge the expectations of others and when we would be sinning against them? How did this passage hit you person...
Rather than exploring specific questions, we process our own thoughts and questions from the three main points of the sermon: Marriage is a worldly pursuitMarriage is a divided devotion Marriage is a practical decision
The conversation around marriage and divorce is difficult to navigate. We begin to scratch the surface of this with some questions like: Why is divorce so prevalent today? What is the difference between separation and divorce? When could separation be an option? What are some of the exceptions for marriage?
We tackle the beginning of 1 Corinthians 7 with not one, but two married couples (and Betty)! No matter what stage of life you find yourself in, the truths of this passage hold a lot of relevance, and it is vital to have these conversations. Some questions we cover are: How can we view singleness as a gift? If you are single and don’t want to be, how do you embrace this season?Why does the church tend to avoid conversations around intimacy and sex? What is some of...
