Marriage can be wonderful.  Marriage can also be tough.  In fact, it can be so tough that we may want to call it quits.  But not so quick.  In this chapter Paul provides instruction about marriage, divorce and remarriage.

Why get married?  What is sexual fulfillment in marriage to look like? Paul addresses these questions in this section of 1 Corinthians. 

Paul makes some rather strong statements in this passage.  If all the sample sins mention in this passage will keep one from the Kingdom, then who can get in? At issue is how our desire for the things of God outweigh our desire for the things of the flesh as some indication of where we stand spiritually.

Should Christians sue each other?  How should Christians settle differences?  What is the way of Jesus when there are offenses?

While we should beware judgmentalism, there are also times when we should cast a judgment in the Body of Christ.  What does this chapter reveal about judging and its purpose?

Sometimes, the world will mock you for your "foolishness" in following Christ. Endure it as God will prove all things in the end. 

We can have confidence in the things of Christ.  We are supposed run contrary to the world's system and the world's ways.  Our bodies are the the place where God now resides.

We can have disagreements within a local church.  We can have disagreements among local churches. Paul says that this ought not to be.  How should we then live?

The marvelous mystery of God's grace demonstrated through Christ has been given to us...unless you don't understand the mystery.

Who do we follow?  A man? A denomination?  There is no room for division or pride in the Body of Christ.  It is all the Lord's work. We will boast only in Him.
