Foundation in Christ alone
Where are you being built up in?
Welcome brothers and sisters!
We pray everyone had a great resurrection Sunday weekend, joining together and celebrating with friends and family alike, the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! God is good, and He alone takes care of our every need...He alone knows our every need amen? Let us all give the Lord thanks for every breath we take each day, and we pray that very breath is turned back into praise for Him!
We are eager to share last weekend's video with you, Pastor Scott faithfully continued in the series he has been doing in 1st Corinthians 3. The evening had us finishing up chapter 3, studying verses 12-23 for the night. We looked at foundation...big word in the lives of Christians, for ours is upon Christ alone...anywhere else and it's a house of cards with half the deck pulled out in a single wisp of wind! While we can build on many different things in our lives, the true matter of the very hope we have, is that we build our lives upon, in, and all around Jesus Christ. Everything we say, think and do, should all be done and viewed through the lens of scripture. Without God guiding our very lives from moment to moment, our future looks troublesome for sure! In today's day and age, just as it was then, mankind certainly loves to think we are the tip top of the wisdom ladder, when in reality it's quite the opposite. Fortunately for us however, our God is full of Mercy, Grace and Lovingkindness and guides us in His wisdom, that we may live fruitful lives, one's that know love in truth! We pray you take a moment to go over the scripture posted below, and ask the Lord to illumine the scriptures for you, that you may understand the intended meaning. One thing to keep in mind is that while the bible is written for us, it wasn't written to us. So there is application in every age, but you must look at the context of the letters and why they were written to the people at that time. Apart from that we hope you watch the sermon and share it with others, not just ours but all faithful to the Lord sermons, the Gospel is so important in saving a lost sinner and we should share it at every opportunity we can! Please join us each Saturday at 7pm for worship, fellowship and a meal and until we meet again, let's go serve our King!

12 Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw— 13 each one's work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. 14 If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. 15 If anyone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire.
16 Do you not know that you[a] are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? 17 If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God's temple is holy, and you are that temple.
18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is folly with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their craftiness,” 20 and again, “The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.” 21 So let no one boast in men. For all things are yours, 22 whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all are yours, 23 and you are Christ's, and Christ is God's
