In 1 Corinthians 15, Paul pivots from addressing problems about worship practices to the issue of resurrection.
He argues for a general resurrection of the dead and the existence of an imperishable body for those raised on the last day—since Christ is raised, so we will be. How is our resurrection linked to Christ’s (vv. What is our “proof” that we will be raised, too (v.
How should the knowledge of this future resurrection impact how you live now (vv. 29–34)?. The final chapter of 1 Corinthians brings Paul’s usual exhortation and greetings, but Paul also challenges believers to help relieve the Jerusalem church financially (see also Rom 15:25–28). From verses 1–4, what should our attitude be toward giving? (See also Matt 6:2–4; Luke 6:38; 2 Cor 9:6–7.). Scripture attests to the reality of suffering, which won’t end until its final elimination when Christ fully inaugurates his kingdom following his second coming (Rev 21:4).
However, the Bible sets suffering in a broader and higher context: it can be used for the will and purposes of a benevolent God. In 2 Corinthians 1, Paul discusses the proper use of God’s comfort during affliction (vv. What does Paul say enables believers to comfort others (v.
What does Paul remind the believers his sufferings brought about (vv. 8–11; see also 2 Cor 4:7–10)?. Paul emphasizes that he did not write his letter to hurt the Corinthian church but rather out of love to rebuke the Corinthians toward repentance (2:1–4). Thanking God, he describes the triumphant nature of his ministry (vv.
To what two groups of people does Paul describe himself as “the fragrance of Christ” (vv. What does his “fragrance” preach to those two groups? Have you suppressed your “fragrance,” and if so, what steps can you take to regain the fragrance of the gospel?. Paul writes that “the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom” (2 Cor 3:17, NIV).
Why is the Holy Spirit essential to help people see and grasp truth—and believe it? According to 2 Corinthians 3:18, character change is intimately connected to spending time in God’s presence. Have you noticed a change in the “degree of glory” you are experiencing compared to the past?Show more. Compare the idolatry of the Israelites in Exodus 32:1–6 to the idolatry Paul describes in 1 Corinthians 10:14–30. (Remember, God had been feeding the people of Israel with manna at the time Exodus 16:31–35.) What is the Corinthian church doing? How was their selfishness impacting weaker Christians and nonbelievers?.
In The Cross of Christ, John Stott puts Paul’s teaching in 1 Corinthians 10–11 in his own words:“. We attribute our unity to his sacrifice.
For we never partake of the Lord’s Supper alone, in the privacy of our own room. No, we ‘come together’ (1 Cor 11:20) in order to celebrate. And we recognize that it is our common share in the benefits of Christ’s sacrifice which has united us: ‘Because there is one loaf, we, who are many, are one body, for we all partake of the one loaf’ (1 Cor 10:17).”With this in mind, what is the Lord’s Supper supposed to do in the hearts of those who take it? How did the Corinthian practice fall short?. In 1 Corinthians 12, Paul explains particular gifts of the Spirit present in the lives of believers.
It’s easy for us to see these gifts and feel boastful about the gifts we have or deprived of the gifts we don’t have, but that’s a symptom of the same idolatry Paul already spoke against: counting yourself as more important than others. Take a few minutes and go through this passage again, noting who gives each gift, to whom, for what purpose, and why each person has different gifts. We arrive now at one of the most well-known passages in the Bible. First Corinthians 13 is read at weddings, quoted in TV shows, and printed on coffee mugs—often by people who don’t claim to be Christians. The context of 1 Corinthians 13 is distinctly Christian, though.
Zennox usb cassette player converter. If one of Paul’s main messages in 1 Corinthians is the church’s unity, what does 1 Corinthians 13 illustrate? Why is it significant that chapter 13 follows the previous chapters?. First Corinthians 14 returns to the discussion of spiritual gifts, focusing mainly on prophecy and speaking in tongues.
Paul makes a few statements that govern the church gathering as it relates to spiritual gifts. What are those? (Hint: see vv.
33 and 40.) Why are those important for us to consider, especially when we think of unbelievers or new Christians?Show more. In 1 Corinthians 5, Paul addresses an instance of appalling sexual immorality within the Church and aims to correct not only the behavior of the sexually immoral man but also the Church’s boastful tolerance of sin. Read through the following cross references, then answer the question: What is immorality, and what is God’s view toward it? (1 Thes 4:1–8, Rev 21:8; Col 3:5; Eph 5:3; Gal 5:19; Phil 4:8; Prov 4:23). Is this problem prevalent today?
What steps can you take to guard against sexual immorality in your own life?. Paul continues to address the conduct of the Corinthians believers, condemning them for using a distorted understanding of freedom in Christ to validate their involvement with prostitutes in 1 Corinthians 6:12–20. Then in verse 12 he says “all things are lawful for me.” Does this mean everything is okay for believers to do? What principle do you think Paul is teaching? (See 1 Cor 10:18–33 and Rom 12:1–2.). Now in 1 Corinthians 7:1–24 Paul addresses questions from the Corinthians believers, specifically about sex in marriage, celebacy, and divorce (vv. These are big issues that relate to deep parts of our heart.
Why does Paul treat these topics with such seriousness? (Recall what you learned in 1 Corinthians 5 and 6.) How does God’s view of sin compare with the world’s view?
How does Paul exhort believers to respond in verses 17–24?. Idols and accompanying rituals were a major problem in Paul’s day. When new believers came out of this environment, they questioned whether they could still be involved with these practices—specifically whether it was okay to eat food sacrificed to idols or not (1 Cor 8:1–13).
Paul’s answer wasn’t definitive. What was the more important principle he focused on? (See also 1 Cor 16:14; Rom 14:5–21.). In 1 Corinthians 8, Paul described a specific way Christian freedom is to be used: for others, not oneself.
Now in chapter 9 he presents his personal principle of Christian ministry and life: to give up rights and privileges and be a slave to all. Why did he live his life this way? 23) What might this principle look like acted out in your own life?Show more.
