We’re in the middle of chapter 8 with Paul, and in this chapter we’ve come upon the subject of food being sacrificed to idols and false gods. It was interesting to learn that the pagan culture at that time actually believed that spirits and demons could enter into food, and that if someone ate that […]
Paul has been talking to us about the positives and negatives regarding being married compared to being single. We know that Paul is single at this time, and through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, he continues to give us godly advice. When Paul wrote this letter, the persecution of Christians was very real and […]
Last week we talked a lot about sexual relations between a husband and wife. Let’s remember, God is the one who designed marriage in the first place, and that it is the union of one man and one woman… period. The husband and wife become one in this union, for the purpose of having children […]
We’ve just entered chapter 7 where we will see what Paul has to bring us in the realm of marriage. Chapter 6 showed us that when believers have disputes or disagreements, we are to go to one another in the spirit of Christ’s love, and not be dragging each other into court. As we closed […]
So far in chapter 6 we’ve learned that as believers, we should do our best not to sue another believer. True Christians are to live under the command from Jesus, that we are to love one another. Suing another believer for financial gain is not how we show the love of Christ to those around […]
We’re six chapters into Paul’s letter to the Corinthians, and so far we’ve observed that once Paul left them on their own, things began to deteriorate rather quickly. I think it all started when the Corinthians began to look inward instead of upward, relying solely upon their own wisdom and knowledge and not including God […]
Chapter 5 started out with Paul identifying one of the blatant sins taking place in the church of Corinth, and it had to do with immorality. The sin of immorality can take on many forms, and it affects both men and women. Today, you would be hard pressed to find any kind of social media […]
The last time we met, Paul offered up a direct challenge to every believer; he said, to “be imitators of me (him).” When Paul said this, there wasn’t any self-pride involved on his part whatsoever. Paul was able to make this statement because he had an extraordinary track record in his service to God, as […]
Last week we were introduced into just what it means to be a trustworthy servant of God. By uncovering the Greek definition of the word servant, we found the root meaning to be that of an under-oarsman. In ancient times, large ships were man powered by oarsmen, a station in life seen as lower than […]
Last week we learned that we have the ability to become “master builders” for God, and every one of us should make the effort to be like Paul and the apostles. Let’s not make the mistake of thinking that only pastors, teachers, and church leaders are the ones who lay the foundations of Christ’s church. […]
