Using the issue of food offered to idols in ancient Corinth, this message considers how Christian maturity is shaped by more than correct understanding. Paul presses believers to think carefully about how love should govern the way freedom is used. Pastor Matt Martin invites listeners to reflect on the kind of character that builds up the body of Christ rather than merely asserting personal rights.

In this Father’s Day sermon from Elder Jonathan, he walks through Titus 1:6–9 and looks at what the Bible says about godly masculinity.

Using the picture of a deeply rooted tree from Psalm 1, this message shows how a man’s strength starts with being firmly rooted in God’s Word. From there, that strength is meant to show up at home—in the way he loves his wife, leads his children, and serves the people around him.

This sermon challenges men to pursue the kind of character Scripture calls for: humility, self-control, faithfulness, and spiritual courage. Biblical masculinity is not about pride or control, but about using strength to protect, provide, serve, and build up others for the Kingdom of God.

In this message, Pastor Matt walks through 1 Corinthians 7:25–40 to explore the Apostle Paul’s teaching on the unique value and advantages of a single life dedicated to God, showing that it is a powerful gift for undivided devotion to His Kingdom rather than a restriction. He breaks down the passage into five key points: the dawning distress of cultural pressures, the dwindling days that call for an eternal perspective, the divided devotion that naturally shifts focus in marriage versus the full focus allowed in singleness, the role of family guidance in dad's decision, and the importance of honoring personal happiness and individual spiritual gifts through desire and delight. Ultimately, whether single or married, this sermon challenges viewers to live with an eternal focus and put God’s Kingdom first above all personal ambitions.
