God’s Gifted Placement (1 Corinthians 12:27–13:3). Each of you has a part of play in the body of Christ. We all need to pull together where everyone shares their gifts. Out gifts are not for our boasting, but to glorify God. Are you playing your part in Christ’s church? . #dailydevotion, #Lutherandevotional, #DailyPlunge, #DailyLectionary, #DailyScripture, #1Corinthians

One Baptized Body (1 Corinthians 12:12–26). No individualistic Christianity as the Spirit forms us into one Body, the Church. Don’t disqualify yourself because you do not have the same giftedness as someone else. We only stop being a part of the Body by disconnecting ourselves. #dailydevotion, #Lutherandevotional, #DailyPlunge, #DailyLectionary, #DailyScripture, #1Corinthians

Spirit’s Giftedness Property (1 Corinthians 12:1–11). The spiritual gifts we blessing our lives are the property of the Holy Spirit for the glorification of God. The first gift is faith in Christ itself. The Trinity working out of salvation, faith and giftedness in the lives of God’s people.#dailydevotion, #Lutherandevotional, #DailyPlunge, #DailyLectionary, #DailyScripture, #1Corinthians

Cruel Fellowship Cliques (1 Corinthians 11:17–34). The very opposite of Communion is when the church breaks into conflicted cliques. A worthy manner of receiving communion is discerning our sinfulness and discerning the broken body of Christ given to make the Church.#dailydevotion, #Lutherandevotional, #DailyPlunge, #DailyLectionary, #DailyScripture, #1Corinthians

Masculine Flowing Locks? (1 Corinthians 11:2–16) Even though they have no other practice than women covering their heads and men having short hair, this is counsel not command. Both men and women come from God and need each other in the Lord. #dailydevotion, #Lutherandevotional, #DailyPlunge, #DailyLectionary, #DailyScripture, #1Corinthians

No Demon Tea Party (1 Corinthians 10:14–11:1). Standing firm in your fragile faith? Really? God gives us more than we can handle because he gives us the heavy demand of the Law. Flee the demonic tea party of idols, but rather participate in the feast of Christ and be joined to what God has done.#dailydevotion, #Lutherandevotional, #DailyPlunge, #DailyLectionary, #DailyScripture, #1Corinthians

Warning Grace-gifted Ignoramuses (1 Corinthians 10:1–13). Be warned! The people of the Exodus had God’s presence, his deliverance and were baptized into the covenant. Yet the rejected God’s grace, they put Christ to the test and were condemned for throwing way God’s mercy.#dailydevotion, #Lutherandevotional, #DailyPlunge, #DailyLectionary, #DailyScripture, #1Corinthians

Empathetic Boxing Preacher (1 Corinthians 9:16–27). The apostolic preacher is compelled by the gospel. While free in Christ he is servant of God and slave to the work of serving others. He runs race of ministry to have the reward of God’s redeemed people themselves. #dailydevotion, #Lutherandevotional, #DailyPlunge, #DailyLectionary, #DailyScripture, #1Corinthians

Productive Spiritual Plowing (1 Corinthians 9:1–15). Is the Lord’s apostle honored for the plowing the hard ground and sowing spiritual seed? The proof of his ministry is in the people of faith themselves. The God’s people should further the gospel by making it so the apostolic preachers receive their living from their work.#dailydevotion, #Lutherandevotional, #DailyPlunge, #DailyLectionary, #DailyScripture, #1Corinthians

Pagan BBQ Etiquette (1 Corinthians 8:1–13). Paul speaks about sacrifices to idols later sold as meat. There is no God but one, don’t use your knowledge to puff yourself up. God knowing you creates loves in you. How are you caring for the new disciple who is weak in their faith? #dailydevotion, #Lutherandevotional, #DailyPlunge, #DailyLectionary, #DailyScripture, #1Corinthians
