We pray this message encourages you, challenges you, and draws you closer to Christ.
0:41
And as we preach through the book of 1 Corinthians, what happens is that we just kind of preach the next passage.
0:47
And just want to name that today's passage, it has some mature themes in it.
0:51
So if your child was in the room and they're like, didn't really want to go to kids life or youth today, just naming just some mature themes.
0:58
If you need to know a rating, we're sitting between like PG and M for today's sermon.
1:03
And that makes you feel uncomfortable.
1:05
We have a kids life or youth service.

I've got a family that's feeling a little unwell at home and I had a three and a half hours sleep last night, praise the Lord.
0:47
So I need some energy today.
0:49
Are we ready for the Word of God? Yeah.

Friends, I'm so excited you could be here with us today.
0:44
I get to lead us into week three in our Book 1 Corinthians.
0:49
Here at YouLife, we like to preach through at times, just take our time to preach through a book of the Bible.
0:53
So we're spending about the next three months in the Book of 1 Corinthians.
0:56
So we're still in chapter one.
0:58
It's been three weeks in chapter one.

oh, yeah,

12:41
So what do we do?
12:43
And the answer to the calling of the pilgrim people is actually a consecrated community.
12:49
That word consecrated means set apart.
12:53
Do you remember your mom's china growing up? You know, that special dish, those special dishes that she had that was only meant to be for special guests and they never came, so you never ate off them.
13:02
Like that's consecration, something that's set apart for a special purpose.
13:06
But unlike our mom's special china, the consecrated people of God are not set apart, never to be used.
13:11
They're set apart for the glory and purpose and holiness of God.
