1 Corinthians 9

July 31, 2015

Join Pastor shawn and the gang at Calvary Chapel Birmingham as they study the Bible verse by verse and chapter by chapter. Today we continue our study in 1 Corinthians with chapter 9 as Paul moves from meat from sacrifices to idols to his manner of Apostleship in order to illustrate that while Christian liberties do exist, the Christian’s highest aim is love. In his writing about his Apostleship, we find that Paul was very passionate about his calling. So today in chapter 9, we’re going to explore having the Lord as our PASSION; what Paul says that looks like and what it entails. Our goal for this morning is to solidify our understanding of what a life passionately lived for Jesus looks like.

Deuteronomy 26 – Moedim, Bikkurim and Christ

July 19, 2015

Today we continue our study in Deuteronomy 26. The chapter presents a fascinating ceremony that was to be performed at the offering of first fruits. The ceremony acknowledged that all the produce of the land came from God. It also was an expression of dependence and thankfulness for God’s goodness. We’ll talk about the Moedim or Apointed Times, First Fruits, the rapture of the church, and some life principles that are important to all Christians.
