Beskrivelse

The True Foundation in life The Temple of God Manhattan Banana Good News Club Scripture Series: I CORINTHIAN SERIES Scripture Title: A Sure Foundation Scripture Reading: 1 Corinthians‬ ‭3‬:‭10‬-‭19‬ ‭NIV‬ “By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work. If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames. Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple. Do not deceive yourselves. If any of you think you are wise by the standards of this age, you should become “fools” so that you may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness”;” Sermon Summary: The foundation of what you're building your life on matters. The foundation for any Christian and for the church is Jesus Christ. It begins with believing that Jesus is the son of God who died on the cross for your sins and was resurrected, and then putting your faith in him and becoming his follower. This basic faith in Christ is what anchors every life of every believer and it anchors every church that belongs to Christ. People can choose to build their lives on other foundations. Some people choose family and sometimes family isn’t dependable and can let you down. Some build their life on a career which may not last very long. Some choose other philosophies and other religions as their foundation and maybe they help for awhile, but they're not the true source of integrity and strength. The only true bedrock is Jesus Christ. All who desire to build a life that will last and weather the storms of the life choose faith in Christ as their foundation for living. And as a church, Christ is at the core of all we do. On top of this foundation, the rest of our life in Christ is built up. Paul says we can either build with garbage, wood, hay, and stubble, or we can build with value, gold, silver, and costly stones. In the first instance, wood, hay, and stubble, a person comes to faith in Jesus, but instead of living for Christ, they live to themselves. Paul says, "Don't build your life with garbage that won't last and that will fall apart. Build with excellent material that matches that superb foundation in Jesus." If you have a foundation of faith in Christ, add regular worship as part of your life. Weave the words of God into the fabric of your life and of your heart. Make God's Word a part of who you are. Tell others about Jesus and disciple them. Serve in the church and further the kingdom of heaven. This is the gold and silver that's going to strengthen your life in Christ.

“On the Lord's Supper” Sermon. Sunday, 7/5/2026.

The only sin God won't forgive The Mission of Jesus Christ Being a Servant Unifiers Sermon Series: 1 Corinthian Series Sermon Title: On the Lord's Supper Pastor Greg Wiest Scripture Reading: 1 Corinthians‬ ‭11‬:‭17‬-‭28‬ “In the following directives I have no praise for you, for your meetings do more harm than good. In the first place, I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions among you, and to some extent I believe it. No doubt there have to be differences among you to show which of you have God’s approval. So then, when you come together, it is not the Lord’s Supper you eat, for when you are eating, some of you go ahead with your own private suppers. As a result, one person remains hungry and another gets drunk. Don’t you have homes to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God by humiliating those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? Certainly not in this matter! For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes. So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup.” Sermon Summary:     In our passage today, St. Paul is disciplining the Corinthian Church for their lack of unity with one another. Their disunity was so bad that Paul said their meeting together did more harm than good. When there is disunity and fighting among ourselves, the enemy loves it. It paralyzes us to the point where we are no longer carrying out the mission of the church which is to make disciples. Unity in Christ needs to be a top priority in church. Unity begins at home. Husbands and wives should walk together and not be at war with one another. Love each other deeply from the heart. Forgive and be patient. Be at peace with friends, co-workers and extended family. Brothers and Sisters in Christ should work to be kind to each other and get along. Jesus said blessed are the peacemakers. We fight division and find unity by loving one another as Christ has loved you. Be willing to be offended from time to time and to forgive the offender. Put others first above yourselves. Jesus gave us the model of servant leadership. Don’t pick fights that are unnecessary and don’t stir up trouble. Work at being at peace with others and try to understand those you may disagree with.

“Created Equal--Called Together” Sermon. Sunday, 6/28/2026.

By Rev. Suzi Goodenough Women in Leadership Equality of Men and Women Ruth in the lineage of Christ Scripture Title: Created Equal - Called Together Scripture Readings: Genesis‬ ‭1‬:‭26‬-‭27‬ ‭ “Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.” ‭‭ Genesis‬ ‭2‬:‭23‬-‭24‬ “The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.” That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.” Lewes Presbyterian Church Website [https://lewespresbyterianchurch.org/] Lewes Presbyterian Church YouTube Channel [https://www.youtube.com/@LewesPresbyterian/streams]

“The Arena of Faith” Sermon by Rev. Al Oliver. Sunday, 6/21/2026.

Meek is Strength under Control. The Training Effect God's Holiness Esau and Edom  Father's Day Daniel 7 Psalm78 Scripture Title: The Arena of Faith Guest preacher: Rev. Al Oliver Scripture Reading: Hebrews‬ ‭12‬:‭1‬-‭17‬ ‭ “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son? It says, “My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.” Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father? If you are not disciplined—and everyone undergoes discipline—then you are not legitimate, not true sons and daughters at all. Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of spirits and live! They disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in his holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees. “Make level paths for your feet,” so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed. Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord. See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many. See that no one is sexually immoral, or is godless like Esau, who for a single meal sold his inheritance rights as the oldest son. Afterward, as you know, when he wanted to inherit this blessing, he was rejected. Even though he sought the blessing with tears, he could not change what he had done.” Lewes Presbyterian Church Website [https://lewespresbyterianchurch.org/] Lewes Presbyterian Church YouTube Channel [https://www.youtube.com/@LewesPresbyterian/streams]
