Paul re-aligns our tiny view of resurrection

February 16, 2025

Let's dig into what Paul is wrapping this letter up with, as he reminds the Corinthians of the Gospel. We're unpacking four crucial words:

1)Gospel 2)Crucified 3)Christ 4)Resurrection

Is Paul limiting the Spirit? Complete silence from the ladies? hmmm...let's take a look at how Paul shepherd's this Jesus community in Corinth.

Excel in building up the church...that's Paul's words. That's what he's spurring the Corinthians to do. Some stuff about languages and prophecy are in there too.

Ammi and Keith welcome in Dr. Benjamin White, religion department chair at Clemson University. Dr. White shares his own studies on the apostle Paul and more specifically 1 Corinthians 13. Send us your thoughts or questions. [email protected]

Clanging cymbals? Love as the ultimate marker of christian community? This isn't your grandparents 1 Corinthians 13. Paul is corrective and admonishing of the Corinthians. He doesn't ask them to consider this ethic of love but demands it.

Ammi, Keith & Stefon dig into a couple of touchy subjects: Criticism & Forgiveness. Lots of good stuff in this one. A couple of resources we discussed are:

1)Total Forgiveness by RT Kendall

2) What forgiveness is & isn't: Check it out HERE: https://0d4f8f10-d614-429b-abb5-3f0ac053bd7e.usrfiles.com/ugd/0d4f8f_faa81e0dda8b4bacb7b68271eb4b85e4.pdf

Paul continues his unity themes of one body working together to achieve the Fathers purpose on earth through the empowering of the Holy Spirit. His metaphor of the church and the human body is classic, but we need to stop a minute to take a hard look at 2 qualities that will get in the way of any kind of unity and those are a critical spirit and un-forgiveness. Please take a look at our resource page for today's slideshow, as well as other helpful resources: https://www.clemsonfoothills.com/single-post/jesus-communities-1-corinthians

Keith and Ammi take a few minutes to talk about this season of prayer and fasting as well as discussing Paul and the stuff he wrote about spiritual gifts.
