Walking By Faith

Paul spends an entire chapter on the resurrection of the dead. In the
previous lesson, we provided an overview of chapter fifteen with its key
themes. In this lesson, we dig deeper into the chapter to explore further
why a correct understanding of the resurrection is so central to the
Christian faith and obedience to Jesus' teachings, how an incorrect understanding can lead to worldliness in the church, and how we can use the Scriptures and reason to defend the resurrection to non-believers. This
lesson concludes with the final chapter in the book of 1 Corinthians, where
Paul comments on weekly collections of money for the poor, house churches, and the holy kiss.

After addressing many issues in the church in Corinth, Paul turns to one

After addressing many issues in the church in Corinth, Paul turns to one last problem, that some Christians in the church did not believe in the resurrection of the dead. Paul spends an entire chapter explaining the centrality of the resurrection to the Christian faith, including what raised from the dead means and why it matters so much.  

While the resurrection of the dead is one of the elementary teachings of the Christian faith (Hebrews 6:1-2), this foundational teaching is misunderstood by many Christians. Paul's stirring and strong defense of the bodily resurrection of Christ and his followers provides us today with the confidence and courage to live as Christ lived, and to be steadfast and immovable in our work for the Lord. This lesson covers an overview of the chapter with its key themes, with the next lesson providing a deeper look at parts of the chapter.

Prophecies of the Resurrection

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

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

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.
