Today on Bridging the Gap, we visit First Corinthians six and you might think of this as God's warnings for His people. He describes how we're to use our bodies in a God-glorifying way, and what's outside His boundaries. With sexual immorality on the rise, this is a passage we desperately need to consider.

Today on Bridging the Gap, the Apostle Paul is pointing out problems in the church at Corinth that if not dealt with properly, could explode into something far worse. Let's see what we can learn from First Corinthians chapter six.

Some lawsuits are legitimate while some are just plain frivolous. It's getting to the point where people will sue for just about anything! What does the Bible say about Christians being involved in lawsuits? We'll get a biblical perspective today on Bridging the Gap as Pastor Lloyd Pulley turns to First Corinthians six.

Pastor Lloyd Pulley has been leading us through First Corinthians. We're currently focusing on chapter five and what the Apostle Paul had to say to the Corinthians about being tolerant of a certain man's sin in the church.

The church in Corinth was experiencing some big problems, to put it mildly. They had refused to deal with a specific sin in the church. Such sins left unchecked can polarize and paralyze a church, as we see happening in many churches today. In the name of tolerance, people are being allowed to live in sin without being confronted in love.

Role models are everywhere - from athletes to actors, but for the Christian, a role model should be someone with consistency in their life – the kind of person who is the same on Sunday morning as they are throughout the week. And it's important that they resemble Christ! Today we'll see the difference between talk and action and be encouraged to practice what we preach.

The Corinthian church was divided into cliques based on who their favorite teacher was. Some liked Paul, some liked Apollos, and so on. But Paul pointed out that each preacher was simply a humble servant of the Lord, and that the messenger is not greater than the message. As we begin today's study, ask yourself why you attend your particular church. Is it because of the message or the messenger?

Paul encouraged the believers in Corinth to examine their hearts and see if they were really living the way God desired them to.This serves as an example for us today as well. Each day God presents us with opportunities that challenge us to do what is godly. How will we respond?

As we open up First Corinthians four today, we uncover a valuable lesson, as we evaluate our heart. Remember what The Lord Jesus said - where your treasure is, there your heart will be also! Let's find our place in First Corinthians chapter four.

We're continuing our study of First Corinthians today with a closer look at chapter three and what the Apostle Paul had to say concerning our relevance in the world. As we'll see in our study today, Christians need to grow up and be mature when it comes to living out God's plan.
