Today we continue our study in 1 Corinthians with the first part of chapter 3. Our chapter will talk about spiritual infancy and maturity, carnality, and the sure foundation of Jesus Christ. The goal of our study this morning is to discover what it is that Paul says has resulted in carnality in the church and what that means to us as a body and individually.

1 Corinthians 2

Today we continue our study in 1 Corinthians with chapter 2. The gospel, as it was given to us by God and taught in scripture, is a unifying force, bringing together Christians to the Body of Christ. That is the main issue that Paul raises in this letter … Christian unity working through love. When we compromise scripture, we foster disunity. The goal of today’s study is to recognize why it’s important for the church to maintain Biblical integrity.

1 Corinthians 1:18-31 – A Foolish Message

July 17, 2015

In our study, we move from the introductions and greetings to the body of the letter. It is here that Paul is going to start really addressing those things that are bringing division in that church in Corinth. Many of those problems Paul addresses remain problems in the church of today. As we continue our study and look at many different principles, keep in mind the bottom line. The bottom line is that keeping the gospel central is absolutely important to Christian unity. We’ll recognize that trying to live the Christian life by your own smarts gets us into trouble, and has resulted in many of those things counter to scripture that can be found in the church. We’ll speak about Eisogesis and Exegesis and narcissism and what Paul means by the “foolishness” of the message.
