The Life and Times of the Early Church, Episode 65. 1 Corinthians 4:1-21

A verse-by-verse study of 1 Corinthians 4:1-21.

Paul addresses a challenge the Corinthians were facing that Christians today must face: the human tendency to blend the teachings of the Bible with other wisdom sources we respect. Today we call it syncretism—the amalgamation of different religions, cultures or schools of thought.

Paul offers the Corinthians (and us) an alternative.

May the Lord bless your study of His Word, and may He bless you and your family this Christmas!

The Life and Times of the Early Church, Episode 64. 1 Corinthians 2:12—3:23

A verse-by-verse study of 1 Corinthians 2:12—3:23.

Paul introduces the main point of his argument: The key to understanding God’s wisdom lies with the Holy Spirit.

He then develops this point by contrasting two different pairs of people: he compares Christians with non-Christians, and spiritual Christians with worldly Christians.

May the Lord bless your study of His Word!
