Church Discipline
October 2, 2022

I Urge You to Imitate Me
September 25, 2022
So far, in contrast to worldly wisdom, Paul has been teaching the wisdom of the cross. But he doesn’t just teach the way of the cross with his words, he demonstrates it in how he lives. He points to himself and the other apostles as models to emulate. Because Paul knows we learn by imitation, by following an example. That’s how disciples are made!

Wisdom From the Spirit
September 11, 2022
Popular thought is that wisdom is self-gained. If you work hard enough, if you get enough knowledge and experience, if you develop enough skill, you will become a wise person. But in 1 Corinthians 2, the apostle Paul flips this notion on its head. He challenges our definition of wisdom and points us to this truth: true wisdom is something you have to receive.

The Foolish Wisdom of the Gospel
September 4, 2022
One of the main problems in the Corinthian church is that they were living according to worldly wisdom. They were seeing the world just like the world sees the world.

Unity in the Church

Jesus Is Lord
August 21, 2022
The Corinthian church was a mess, and Paul was writing to address their host of problems. But he doesn’t begin his letter with a rebuke. He begins with a reminder. He doesn’t start by reacting to all their issues. He starts by refocusing them on their Lord and who they are in him.
