2025-02-23: Pastor Mark Quist – Blessed are the Meek, the Weak, the Hungry and Thirsty

Our study and walk through 1 Corinthians:
Paul has built a phenomenal foundation in our first three chapters.  He now moves into different issues the church was experiencing, each and every time to the wisdom and power of the cross of Christ, Christ crucified,and the gift/work of the Holy Spirit.

It’s an amazing letter covering a host of issues: incest, lawsuits among believers, sexual immorality – issues for married and unmarried, the eating of food sacrificed to idols, lots of great teaching on christian freedom, the need for self-discipline, practices for worshipping well – promoting the unity and honor of all, guidance on spiritual gifts, warnings to pay attention to the past, and a most famous exposition on love, finishing with one of the grandeous passages in the Bible on resurrection… that’s a lot!

So this Sunday, Paul wraps up his discouragement of certain behaviors and encouragement of others addressing the call of pastors and leaders.  It’s a fascinating passage, so here we go, 1st Corinthians 4.  I will be reading it from Eugene Peterson’s paraphrase, The Message, this coming Sunday in worship.  If you are a regular reader of the text for Sunday messages, check out The Message version and compare it to another of your favorite more direct translations.  Make note of some of the different ways the teaching of Paul is worded.

For the glory of God alone!

Pastor Mark
