We begin a new series from 1 Corinthians 15 called VICTORY. We are jumping from chapter 4 to chapter 15 to study this during the Holy Week season. I don’t like doing things out of order, but this one is worth it. We will begin by seeing the reasons why Paul believed in the resurrection.

The power of God is found in the consistency of godliness. This weekend, Paul will remind the Corinthian Church that the power of God is not in what we say or know, but in how we live.

We begin the Entrusted series from 1 Corinthians 4. When his authority was questioned, Paul shared the universal truth that believers live only for the approval their Lord. We will gain a second understanding of what it means for us to be servants of Jesus. We will also be challenged to see how God entrusts us to take the way of the cross in serving Him.

We conclude our series on LEARNING IN PICTURES by looking at the end of Chapter 3. We will be reminded again about the futility of human wisdom and the foolishness of boasting about human leaders. Paul is strong in this passage as he wraps up this discussion and gives us some application.

We begin a short 3-week series called LEARNING WITH PICTURES. Maybe Paul realized how difficult chapters 1 & 2 were, so now he uses lots of word pictures to help us understand the message. In this study, we see the problem of worldliness and the joy of being a servant of God.

We conclude our series on DIVIDED and learn about God’s Wisdom in contrast to human wisdom. We will see that the world CAN’T know and CAN’T understand Christ or Christians! And we will see what Christians know that makes us extra special.

We move to part three of our series called DIVIDED as we look at another issue that divided people in the CORINTHIAN CHURCH — Human wisdom (philosophies). Here we see a wonderful (and initially difficult) explanation of what really matters for each of us, no matter what the philosophers have to say. Paul uses amazing rhetoric to explain that human rhetoric cannot save. It is a unique passage of Scripture that I think you’ll enjoy as we study.

We continue our series called DIVIDED as we learn of the conflict and potential disaster within the Corinth Church. We will learn about reporting conflict, “church cliques,” and the cure for disunity in the church. I think you will find this study interesting as I have in preparation.

We begin a one-year study of 1 Corinthians and in this first message, we dive into verses 1-3 and get a bit of an overview of the author and his audience. The Corinthian people are called “saints,” not because of the way they lived, but because of Who they knew. That will be a key thought for all of us.
