What is modeled in Isaiah’s prayer on behalf of Israel, and how is that similar to a New Testament model of prayer?

A journey through verse and quote.

When Paul talks about us having spiritual bodies, does that mean they’ll be non-material? Spoiler alert: no. And I’ll share why on the other side.

Today you’ll hear about why that “way of love,” including that you should prophesy. And hear how the chapter ends…remember how many times we’ve talked about Paul grounding his arguments in the orderly nature of God? Well…

The famous "love" chapter's part of a broader story, but today's focus question also helps us think about how to apply it.

1 Corinthians 12 is one of the more popular chapters in the Bible precisely because it addresses spiritual gifts, and then chapter 13 is the famous “love” chapter. And while that’s not wrong, it’s useful to see it (or them) in the greater context of what Paul’s been talking about. One part of that, then, you might guess given our focus question today is, “How do spiritual gifts reflect the Trinity?”

Today we focus on one of the most powerful passages in the whole Bible which, crazy enough, happens to be in the Old Testament.

In what does Paul ground his argument? Right up front you’re going to hear him argue “Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of the woman, and God is the head of Christ (1 Co 11:3–4, CSB),” but he’s not arguing for an order of authority, he’s assuming it as he applies to to a couple problematic particularities in Corinthian worship services.

His heart was breaking. Sadly, it was me.

What does Christian freedom look like? Today's passage looks at that from several angles.
