In our last message we talked about how nobody knows the mind of God except God Himself; God transcends our understanding completely. However, God does reveal His priorities, desires, and plans to us, and the main way He accomplishes this is through His Spirit. We can also be certain that one of God’s desires for […]
Paul opened chapter 2 by saying he didn’t come into Corinth with any slick talk, he didn’t come with any “superiority of speech or of wisdom.” Paul was a straight shooter, he was genuine. Paul was the complete opposite of those who would come into town with their own personal agenda, looking to make money […]
In chapter 1, we got a pretty good picture as to what Paul was facing by writing to the Corinthian church. Paul had received destressing news from Chole’s people, that things were amiss among the Corinthian believers. Paul found that there were divisions or factions developing within the church, and that this was the result […]
The last time we met we talked about factions taking place within the Corinthian church. This had gotten the attention of Chloe’s people, and they reacted in the responsible way by reporting what was going on to Paul. In our study of this, it brought up the subject of “unity.” We know from John 17 […]
We’re done with Paul’s formal introduction in his letter to the Corinthian believers. At this point, he’s set the foundation with them by reminding them of who they are in Christ. This was necessary to do because the church as a whole had gone astray, heading in the wrong direction. Hebrews 2:1: “For this reason […]
As we were introduced to the letter to the Corinthian church, Paul established his spiritual authority with them, so that moving forward, the Corinthian believers would know what they hear from Paul will be coming from a firm biblical foundation. We left off last week being shown that God “enriches” His children with what they […]
As we begin to do a deep dive into the book of 1 Corinthians, it will help us more if we understand the environment in which the Corinthian people found themselves. Paul visited Corinth on his second missionary journey, after he had met with some seeming failure in the “cultured” Athens. While he was Corinth, […]
As we finish the book of 2 Peter, we remember that Peter has shown us that we can trust the Word of God, because the men who wrote down the words of Scripture were all inspired by the Holy Spirit, therefore the Bible is dependable, inspired, and it’s how we hear from God. In the […]
With our final chapter in 2 Peter, we could give it the title “The end of the world as we know it.” 2 Peter 3:1: “This is now, beloved, the second letter I am writing to you in which I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder,” Peter begins the chapter by […]
Second Peter chapter 2 has been a difficult study for us because we are taking a deep dive into false teachers, investigating their characteristics and methods of operation, it revels the very core of their depravity. The danger of false teachers is so great that the Holy Spirit used both Peter and Jude to warn […]
