Handling Disagreements Going the Extra mile Having the attitude of Christ When Jesus Returns Free Passes Scripture Title: Peace With Each Other Scripture Reading: 1 Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭1‬-‭11‬ ‭ “If any of you has a dispute with another, do you dare to take it before the ungodly for judgment instead of before the Lord’s people? Or do you not know that the Lord’s people will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases? Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life! Therefore, if you have disputes about such matters, do you ask for a ruling from those whose way of life is scorned in the church? I say this to shame you. Is it possible that there is nobody among you wise enough to judge a dispute between believers? But instead, one brother takes another to court—and this in front of unbelievers! The very fact that you have lawsuits among you means you have been completely defeated already. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated? Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, and you do this to your brothers and sisters. Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.” Sermon Summary: In our Scripture passage today, Paul chastises these Christians for not settling their differences within the church. The problem with the Corinthians was not that they had disagreements with one another but how they handled these issues when they came up in the life of the church. The Corinthians response was to sue each other in court. And Paul was saying, can you not handle these differences within the church. Paul points out that when Christ returns, Christians will have enormous responsibilities in the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, we need to start handling things responsibly in this life, especially disputes between believers. Whenever you bring Christians from different backgrounds, generations and life experiences into a church, we are bound to have disagreements and differences of opinion. Paul encourages us to avoid disputes altogether. Instead, he tells us to have the attitude of Christ. Christians need to forgive, to not be easily offended, and to not carry grudges. Paul asks the question, Instead of going to battle against a fellow Christian who has hurt you, why not rather be wronged? Why go after a brother or sister in Christ for the purpose of getting even or making them pay for their mistake? As Christians, we don’t keep a record of wrongs and we forgive those who have hurt us. As a church, we’ve got to love each other deeply from the heart and quickly forgive. Paul makes the point that many who are Christians’s today were desperately in need of forgiveness and transformation before they came to Christ. And I think the message is that if Christ is willing to forgive you and be patient with you, you should treat others with the same patience and love.

“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]
