Paul doesn't want them to be uniformed about spiritual gifts . Neither should we be!

How did members the early church deal with being members of the kingdom of God while also being part of the most powerful (and often corrupt and oppressive) government on the planet? How did they maintain stability and integrity and what was their response to living in such country.

This was a very special Sunday for us as we celebrated a baptism!

It's important under all the head coverings, not to lose sight of the main point!

So, here's the bottom line to all the Corinthian's questions.

A word about giving, and Paul's example of cheerful serving.

Paul reveals the essential answer tom most of the Corinthians problems in this chapter. As he says, it's not really about food at all.

The Corinthians ask if it's better to be married or single and Paul answers a much more important question, demonstrating along the way what it means to walk by faith and wisdom.

The deception Paul warns against may not be the one you think it is! Dont' be deceived!

Paul prefaces his answers with an important principle. Will you trust God's wisdom or judge it by the wisdom the world?

Why would we follow the wisdom of the world when we have the mind of Christ?
