In this passage, Paul instructs the church in Corinth that their women

should keep silent in the church, that they are to be submissive, and they

are to learn from their husbands. He goes on further to state that it is

shameful for women to speak in church. Does Paul really mean this? Was this

instruction only for the church in Corinth at that time? What does Paul

mean by "being silent"? We tackle these questions by looking at this and

related Scriptures that speak to the Biblical role of men and women, and

God's love, heart, and expectation for both.

Music plays a predominate role in the American culture, and in most

cultures around the world. What can we learn from the Scriptures about

music and the role God intended it to play in our lives? This lesson looks

at both good and bad examples from Scripture and asks us to examine our own

engagement with music in light of both.

1 Corinthians 14:1-33 includes two somewhat controversial issues: speaking

in tongues and what it was like when Christians came together for worship.

The lesson addresses three questions in regards to the gift of tongues: 1)

What is speaking in tongues? 2) What was the purpose of speaking in

tongues? and 3) Is speaking in tongues available to the Church today? We

are also asked what we can learn from this passage as to what Church should

look like when we come together as Christians.

This lesson tackles a foundational and often misunderstood teaching of the Kingdom of God revealed in many of Jesus' parables, including the parable of the wheat and the tares (weeds).

Each year, brothers and sisters from around the world gather in

Pennsylvania to provide a forum for Biblical teaching for those who desire

to live as disciples of Christ. One of the primary goals of this event is

to be a place where kingdom-minded Christians from various backgrounds can

meet one another for edification and encouragement, and to learn from each

other. This year's theme was discipleship....

1 Corinthians 13 loving one another

In chapter twelve, Paul turns his attention to the miraculous gifts of the

Holy Spirit. What does the Bible teach about the miraculous gifts,

including gifts of healing, speaking in tongues, and the working of

miracles? Are these spiritual gifts available today? Many Christians

understand the miraculous gifts to have died within a generation of the

Apostles. But is this what the Bible teaches? This passage also paints a

beautiful picture of Christian unity within the body of Christ, a major

theme in the book of 1 Corinthians. What can we learn from Paul about

building a healthy, unified church?
