Lesson 22 – 1 Corinthians Chapter 10:24-33 & Chapter 11:1-9
Last time we met, Paul reminded us that when it comes to temptation, there’s nothing new under the sun. Are things different from 7,000 years ago? Absolutely, but we know that the temptations we face today are the same as yesteryear, except…
Lesson 21 – 1 Corinthians Chapter 10:13-23
Last week’s message can be summed up in two words, “lesson learned.” Through God’s holy Word, we are given the opportunity to look back into history and learn from the mistakes of God’s chosen people. We have the choice as to whether…
Lesson 20 – 1 Corinthians Chapter 10:3-12
Last week I just gave you a little tease into chapter 10. As we start exploring chapter 10, we will see Paul pull the nation of Israel on to the scene. In verses 1 and 2, Paul makes the connection between the Corinthian believers and Israel.…
Lesson 19 – 1 Corinthians Chapter 9:17-27 & Chapter 10:1-2
So far in chapter 9, we’ve seen Paul extend his focus to himself, not in a self-glorifying way, but to point out that he also had freedoms and privileges… and we saw that he chose not to exercise them.
Paul understood that as a preacher…
Lesson 18 – 1 Corinthians Chapter 9:1-17
Chapter 8 segues into chapter 9, still teaching us about Christian liberties, but in chapter 9 Paul will take the laser pointer and point at himself as an example. We’ve seen how freedom and liberty play a part in the life of a believer, and…
Lesson 17 – 1 Corinthians Chapter 8:7-13
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…
Lesson 16 – 1 Corinthians Chapter 7:32-40 & Chapter 8:1-6
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…
Lesson 15 – 1 Corinthians Chapter 7:18-31
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…
Lesson 14 – 1 Corinthians Chapter 7:3-17
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…
Lesson 13 – 1 Corinthians Chapter 6:14-20 & Chapter 7:1-2
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…
