1 Corinthians 11

August 28, 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 11 as Paul responds to another inquiry from the Corinthian church. This time the question has to do with dress code, conduct, the Lord’s Supper and more. The goal of our study is this: To recognize that there are major things, minor things, and cultural things in Christianity. We don’t compromise on scripture. We may need to compromise on those things that are outside of scripture, as well as our Liberties in order to better magnify Christ.

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.

1 Corinthians 8

July 19, 2015

Today we continue our study in 1 Corinthians with chapter 8 and Paul answering the Corinthian Christian’s question about eating meat from sacrifices to idols. The goal of our study is to become sensitive to how our exercise of Christian liberty may impact other believers. By exercising our freedoms, are we edifying or are we causing confusion for weaker believers?

1 Corinthians 7:1-40 – Single, Separated, Celibate, or Married

July 18, 2015

Today we continue our study in 1 Corinthians with chapter 7. We will look at marriage, being single, and being celibate. The goal of our study is to understand that living as God has called us is radical. Trying to be something that God has not made us to be is harmful to ourselves and to others.
