Proclaiming the Lord's Death Through the Lord's Supper

Dr. John Wiers

September 5, 2025

1 Corinthians 11:17-34

This sermon from 1 Corinthians 11:17–34 explores the meaning, purpose, and spiritual depth of the Lord's Supper. It warns against divisions within the church and superficial ritualism, calling believers to examine their hearts and approach the table with humble faith in Christ. Pastor John Wiers explains how the Lord's Supper proclaims Jesus' death, nourishes the soul, and strengthens unity in the body. Rooted in Scripture and Reformed theology, this message reorients our focus from mere tradition to the spiritual reality of feeding on Christ. A powerful call to return to the heart of communion: grace through a worthy Savior.

What the Soul Does

Bryan Schneider

May 23, 2025

1 Corinthians 2

What does your soul actually do? It thinks, chooses, and desires. The three faculties of the soul are your intellect, your will, and your affections. Does God care what you think about or delight in with your mind? Are your choices for God's glory or your own pleasures? What do you enjoy, treasure, and seek after with your affections? Since you were made in God's image, you were made to think His thoughts, choose His ways, and desire what He delights in. What are you doing with your soul? Please don't neglect it!

Who Are We? Body

Bryan Schneider

May 9, 2025

1 Corinthians 15

We have both a body and a soul that were created by God, and we have an innate dignity and worth because we were created in His image. The Lord gave us tasks to accomplish on this earth that require a physical body, so the body is not inherently evil. Our whole lives should be built around our soul and body worshiping God and bringing Him glory. As Christians, we are uniquely enabled to glorify God in our bodies. Through the power of the Holy Spirit dwelling in us, we can resist the power of sin that tries to enslave us. Thanks be to Christ for redeeming both our souls and our bodies, which will one day experience the fullness of redemption on the day of resurrection!

Who are We?

Bryan Schneider

May 2, 2025

1 Corinthians 15

Who is God? Who are we? Why do we exist? The world tries to tell us what is true, good, and beautiful, and it tries to explain to us the purpose and meaning of life in different philosophies and worldviews that are in competition with one another. But what does God say in the Scriptures? Man is created in God's image, with a body and a soul, as a relational being, capable of thinking and creating and cultivating. And even while we were still sinners, Christ died for us so that we might live with Him in heaven forever!
