Navigating the Grey Areas: Halal, Halloween, and Hot Yoga / Keeping Up With the Corinthians Week 8
Episode 250
Sunday, 3 May, 2026
In week 8 of “Keeping Up with the Corinthians,” Lead Pastor Bartley Sawatsky unpacks 1 Corinthians 8 and the surprisingly practical issue of food offered to idols. He shows how Paul shifts the focus from being “right” in our knowledge to being loving in how we use our freedoms. From halal meat and alcohol to yoga, Halloween, and social media, Bartley explores modern grey areas where our choices can either build others up or cause them to stumble. In a culture full of spiritual landmines, this message calls us to gladly lay down our rights for the sake of weaker brothers and sisters—and for the honour of Christ. ABOUT THE SERIES What does it look like to follow Jesus in a culture that pulls us in every direction? This 16-week journey through 1 Corinthians explores everything from spiritual gifts and the nature of love to the reality of the resurrection. Discover how God builds a unified, holy people out of a collection of beautifully imperfect lives. We meet at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday mornings at Cineplex Cinemas, 1175 Maple Ave, Milton. We'd love to meet you and invite you to join us there!
