PA332 I Corinthians 14:1-19 mp3 In this message, Paul urges the Corinthians to desire the gift of prophecy above others.

PA330 I Corinthians 13:1-13 mp3 I Corinthians Series 20 In this message, we consider “the love chapter,” I Corinthians 13.

Paul describes what […]

PA329 – I Corinthians 12:12-31 mp3 I Corinthians Series 19 In this message, we consider the body of Christ as Paul sets it forth in I Corinthians 12.

PA322 I Corinthians 8:8 – 9:14 mp3 In this message, Paul argues against the arrogant attitude of many of the Corinthians: that their knowledge that idols do not really exist gave them the right to eat meat offered to idols at any time. He points out how this might look to one not as “wise” […]

PA321 I Corinthians 7:32 – 8:7 mp3 In this message, Paul urges the Corinthians to remain unmarried so they will be without care in this world. But is this really true or valuable for us today? He speaks of a man who thinks he is behaving improperly toward his virgin not to give her in […]
