This week Derrick and Jason discuss a passage that can easily be overlooked in Paul's letter to the Corinthian church. However, it is really the center of Paul's instruction to those young believers.

This week Derrick and Jason dig into what Paul writes in 1 Corinthians chapters 8 and 9. Through what he writes in those chapters, Paul is encouraging the Corinthian believers and us to evaluate the lives we are living for the Lord. Am I making strides toward the Lord or am I making strides in the wrong direction? These are questions that we must ask ourselves every day as we attempt to live for the Lord and the sake of the Kingdom. This is also the season 9 Finale. We will take a break for the holidays and be back after the first of the new year. Join the conversation by emailing thepath@lafayettefirst.life

This week Derrick and Jason discuss what Paul had to say in 1 Corinthians 7:1–16. Paul is teaching the Corinthian believers how their identity is found ultimately in Christ rather than in their marital or social status, and that affects how we live as Christian within those relationships. This is an important discussion for us as we strive to live out our faith in Christ each day. Join the conversation by emailing thepath@lafayettefirst.life
This week Derrick and Jason discuss 1 Corinthians chapter 6. In that chapter Paul teaches the Corinthians how to use their bodies to glorify God. In Christ, believers are given a new identity and must live out of that identity rather than out of their old identity. Listen in as we discuss how that truth plays itself out in our lives today. Join the conversation by emailing thepath@lafayettefirst.life
This week Derrick and Jason discuss what citizens of God's kingdom look like. They consider John 15:1-17 where Jesus teaches the disciples that in order to bear fruit as citizens of God's kingdom they must remain connected to him.

This week Derrick and Jason discuss another story of the Kingdom. This time they consider when Jesus fed the great crowd. This story is found in all four gospels, and it shows us several very important aspects of being citizens of God's Kingdom. Jesus gives us the example of being compassionate people, and more importantly, he invites us to be a part of the work that he is doing. Join the conversation by emailing: thepath@lafayettefirst.life
Derrick and Jason dive into a new series this week which will look at stories of the Kingdom from the gospels over the next four weeks.

When we live each day as citizens of the Kingdom of God it will play out in the way we act. Join the conversation by emailing: thepath@lafayettefirst.life
This week Derrick and Jason take a deeper look at all of 1 Corinthians 5. Paul instructs the Corinthian believers on how they should address unrepentant sinners in their midst during worship. It is a difficult teaching, but worship is so vitally important that the church should take it seriously. Listen as they discuss some questions about this passage and uncover some answers for how this applies to us today. Join the conversation by emailing: thepath@lafayettefirst.life
This week Derrick and Jason discuss 1 Corinthians 5:1-8. Paul addresses the fact that the body of believers at Corinth have allowed known sin to grow in their midst.

The same is true for us today. Join the conversation by emailing thepath@lafayettefirst.life
This week Derrick and Jason discuss 1 Corinthians 4:14-21. In this passage Paul reminds the believers at Corinth, and us, that we are to live a life that has Christ as the standard for every decision that we make, and we will be held accountable for how effective we are for the Kingdom of God. Join the conversation by emailing thepath@lafayettefirst.life
This week Derrick and Jason take a deeper look at 1 Corinthians 4:6–13. In this passage, Paul reminds the Corinthian believers, and us, that humility is the thing that draws people toward Christ rather than arrogance. It is so easy to become puffed up and arrogant in a society that is constantly telling us to make more of ourselves. However, humility is the thing that most closely identifies us with Christ.
