Wayside Bible Chapel

A Good Friday service to memorialize what Christ has done for us.

Living a life free from sin yet paying the ultimate price for our sin debt.

The Apostle Paul sees a very clear picture of our spiritual journey through life and the deliverance we have in Christ in the Hebrews exodus from Egypt and journey to the promised land. The many parallels have so much to teach us. The God who planned history was revealing the pattern that unfolded in the first century to this day.

In this passage Paul tells the Corinthians he wanted to present them as a pure virgin to their husband, Christ. He was afraid that as Eve was deceived, so the Corinthians would be led astray from their pure and sincere devotion to Christ. He was concerned that they were being receptive to a different Jesus, a different spirit, and a different gospel. It is the same issues our culture struggles with today. Until Jesus returns there will be false teachers trying to lead us away from the biblical Jesus to faith in ourselves.

In this passage Paul confronts his detractors and those who side with them. He reminds us that if we are going to boast about anything, it should be about our Lord. Man gives out awards and praises people, but the only commendation that really counts is that which comes from God.

Paul was going to deal with the false teachers when he goes to Corinth. He gave them a warning. He does not fight like they are fighting, with slander and demeaning appearances. He fights with divine weapons that bring down strongholds and arguments against the knowledge of God. He is pleading with the meekness and gentleness of Christ, but he is coming with bold authority to take every thought captive and make them obedient to Christ.

In this passage, Paul describes the benefits of being a generous giver. It includes promises from God and the Old Testament Scripture that backs the promise!

In this weeks passage we learn about the character of several godly men and why they were chosen. It give us practical instructions as to how churches should handle finances. We can also see the importance of men working together as a team.

What does the daily supply of manna have to do with giving to meet the needs of others? Apostle Paul quotes a verse regarding manna to teach us about God's heart and how the miracle takes place today.

There are two kinds of grief. Worldly grief leads to death and godly grief to repentance and life. The passage also expresses Paul's joy in the restoration of his relationship with the Corinthian believers. Joy can be contagious.
