“The Power of Grace: What God Does When We Can’t” Last week I had the privilege of talking about Paul’s vision of heaven, and how wonderful it really is. Paul was highly restricted as to what he could say about heaven. The Bible gives us many word-pictures as to what we can expect when we […]
“Surviving the Storm: Paul’s Trials and God’s Power in Weakness” So, Paul left us hanging last week… no, wait, he was hanging on… to a piece of ship wreckage, in hopes that someone would rescue him… just one of the many trials he endured. We left off with Paul in a most uncomfortable position, and […]
“Spiritual Catfishing: Paul’s Guide to Recognizing Deception” We’ve been sitting in the gallery of the courtroom as Paul has been his own defense lawyer. Paul has been presenting his case very well… what else would you expect from Paul our champion. We closed last time with Paul declaring his fatherly love for the Corinthian believers […]
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 […]
