Here in Colorado, most people know to stay far away from a momma bear and her cubs. We also have heard the story of a mother lifting a car to save her children. In chapter 11, we will see Paul fill the role of a father. In our Christian experience, we might have lots of […]
We started chapter 10 last week, and we will see throughout the remaining chapters that Paul will be defending the faith. What I mean by that is, Paul is waring against the factions within the Corinthian church, as well as the wolves who had pounced on the believers there. In verse 4 we found an […]
“Living Under Christ’s Authority” Through the Holy Spirit, God used Paul to teach the Corinthians what giving is all about, and in the process, we learn how to give by studying God’s Word. We serve a God who is the ultimate giver; He gives so we can give. God proved His capacity to give by […]
Chapter 8 has been a lesson in giving… for the Corinthians and for us as well. Paul has presented the example of the Macedonians, and how the Holy Spirit had invaded their hearts, transforming their lives, that now line-up with the mind of Christ. We know that Jesus Christ is the ultimate giver. He emptied […]
Crystal and I recently did a devotion together that highlighted the importance of God’s Word. We saw that it nourishes our faith, and it deepens our understanding of God’s character… along with many more things. Jesus said, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.” […]
It’s been a long time since we’ve started 1 and 2 Corinthians, so let me just refresh our minds a little on what we have studied. In 1 Corinthians, Paul had the challenge of hitting the “re-set button” with the Corinthian church. To put it bluntly, they had gone off the rails when it came […]
We started chapter 7 by looking back on the fact that God is with us, and that He is so much more than just being with us, He is in us… that of course is through the Holy Spirit being in each believer. With the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, we have a connection with […]
We only have four verses left in chapter 6, and so far Paul has put into the Scriptures how he had to deal with the Corinthian believers, that he was always clear and concise with them, and it was always with love. In 1 Corinthians, one of the standout chapters is chapter 13, the love […]
So far in chapter 6, we’ve seen Paul give a defense for his ministry. We know that he has had his hands full in dealing with immaturity levels within the Corinthian church, but that he also had to contend with the false teachers who had infiltrated the congregation. This was an ongoing battle that Paul […]
So far it’s been an interesting journey with Paul and his dealings with the Corinthian believers. He’s had to correct them in their immature ways, where they would behave in the same way the world acts, and in some cases worse. Paul has had to defend his life and his ministry in the first five […]
