Paul gives two more gifts in verse seven: service and teaching.

Paul lays out a list of the types of gifts God gives His people with an instruction that if given a gift, we are called to actually use it. We dig into Paul's first listed gift: prophecy.

Paul completes his illustration of the body functioning as one with his explanation that we are the body of Christ. We dig into that by reading from 1 Corinthians 12.

Paul sets up an illustration he's getting to in verse five by noting how our body has different parts that all have different functions. We go with Paul's illustration by talking about the body.

Paul sets up his next section that talks about the gifts that God has given to his children by referencing his own God-given gifts.

Paul gave us the "what" of following Jesus in verse 1, and in today's verse he gives us the "how": by resisting the forces of this world but instead going through a transformation--something akin to metamorphosis. We dig into that "how."

How are we to respond to the fact that this world is not for us? Easy: to present ourselves to the One who this world is for. God doesn't want us to be sacrificed like Old Testament offerings, but rather as a living sacrifice, spent in worship.

Paul concludes Chapter 11 with beautiful language about how this world is not for us, but for God. And since it's for God, God gets the glory. Forever. Amen.

Paul quotes Job to continue making his point that God's ways are untraceable. We talk about Job.

Paul quotes Isaiah 40:13, a verse he'd also quote to the church in Corinth, as part of his praise of God to conclude chapter 11. We explore the comforting words God was conveying to the people of Israel in Isaiah, chapter 40, and how those words speak to us today.
