1 Corinthians 7:1-40

The world tells us that, while we are not perfect, we are on our way and to reach that goal effectively, restraints should be dismissed. This world view excludes God, spiritual realities, and our ultimate responsibility before God. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he demonstrates how man’s world view has especially influenced our perspectives on the sacred covenant of marriage.

1 Corinthians 6:12-20

It’s sad but true that the modern-day evangelical church is compromising some of the foundational standards of the Word of God...questioning biblical authority, sexual morality and God’s sovereignty. But these compromises are nothing new. Join Dr. Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he examines Paul’s admonition concerning the compromise in the church at Corinth that still apply to us today.

1 Corinthians 6:1-11

It seems there was a time when men settled their differences face-to-face, man-to-man, and--unlike today--going to court was usually a final option. Yet, in the Corinthian church, Christians were taking their disputes to court to let the world decide the outcome. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he looks at Paul’s third admonition to the church at Corinth.

1 Corinthians 5:1-13

Church discipline. In many churches it has fallen out of favor and practice as we conform more and more to the world’s standards. The Apostle Paul, however, faced the problem head on and left us timeless advice for this necessary practice. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he explores Paul’s commands for dealing with sin in the church.

1 Corinthians 4:1-21

The Apostle Paul called himself “the servant of Christ,” but in his day there really were no servants, only slaves. The Greek word Paul used is better translated “under rower,” the slave who occupied the lowest position in the galley of a ship powered by the sweat of men. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he reflects on Paul’s self-evaluation as a minister of Christ.

1 Corinthians 3:1-23

While the unity of believers is stressed throughout the New Testament, division has often stymied the growth of the church and the fellowship of Christians, and the beginning verses of I Corinthians chapter three tell us of two areas that fueled those divisions. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he looks at carnal Christianity and whether some believers are “more saved” than others.

1 Corinthians 2:6-16

“But God…” Two small words, but words that carry a great significance. Two small words that are filled with hope because they stand in contrast to the foolishness of man and the plans he devises through human wisdom. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he compares the foolishness of man’s escapades with the wisdom of our Almighty God.

1 Corinthians 1:18-2:5

God has undermined and brought to nothing the vaunted wisdom of the world through the simplicity of the gospel. And where is the folly of the world’s wisdom more clearly seen then through the lens of the crucifixion? Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he compares the wisdom of the world with “the foolishness of God.”

1 Corinthians 1:1-17

Have you ever marveled at the conundrum that you can be two different people: kind but cruel, confident but fearful, easy going but angry? You’re not alone. The Corinthian Christians had a model church but one riddled with disgraceful habits and practices. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he examines Paul’s challenges in dealing with a church that was “the best of churches and the worst of churches.”

Matthew 28:16-20

Matthew could have ended his gospel with the resurrection or the ascension, events that changed the world and the course of human history, and yet: he chose to close with Jesus’ final command. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he looks at Christ’s final words to His followers...the words we know as The Great Commission.
