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.

Today we continue our study in Deuteronomy with chapter 28. In our study we will talk about covenants, about the Promised Land and Israel and their history in (and out of) the land, God’s keeping of His promises, and the dangers of appropriating what the Bible says about Israel and the law to be about Christians.

Today we begin our study in 1 Corinthians, a letter in which Paul confronts a young church with many problems. The Corinthian church had class problems, arguments over style, infighting lawsuits, and unconfronted immorality. The church at Corinth was full of problems, and its into this situation that the Apostle Paul wrote this letter. But, if we are to be honest, the church in Corinth doesn’t sound too far off from what we see going on in many churches today. But it’s not just the corporate church … worldliness finds it’s way into individual Christians, too. And so, this letter has direct application for today’s Christian in today’s world and for today’s church.
