Corinthians

“That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, ‘No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.’” (1 Corinthians 2:9 NLT) The difference between the way God understands the future and the way we understand the future is much like the difference between an artist’s understanding of a blank canvas and our understanding of a blank canvas. The artist looks at the canvas, takes out a pencil, draws a couple of broad strokes, and then looks at it again. We walk up and ask, “What is that?” When the artist tells us, we say, “Well, it doesn’t look like that to us.” But the artist confidently remarks, “It’s coming along. It’s a work in progress. I have a vision, a plan.” The artist is thinking about the end result, even though he’s drawn only a couple of seemingly meaningless strokes. Often, we look at our unfinished lives in the same way we might look at that canvas. Things may not be going as expected. Life may not be progressing according to our schedule. So we say, “The Lord must have forgotten about me. The Lord has abandoned me. It’s over.” But we’re not forgotten or abandoned. And it’s not over. The Lord has a vision for your life. He has a plan. You’re a work in progress. You’re under construction. God isn’t finished with you yet. We see merely the beginning. God sees the end from the beginning. We see a blank canvas. God sees a masterpiece in progress. Take heart. The apostle Paul was quoting Isaiah 64:4 when he wrote, “That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, ‘No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him’” (1 Corinthians 2:9 NLT). We don’t have the tools to see in ourselves what God sees in us. So we must put our faith in Him. That’s what Paul was doing when he wrote in Philippians 1:6, “And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns” (NLT). We look at the broad strokes of God’s work in our lives and see only randomness. We can’t fathom how they might be connected or built on to create something more substantial. We convince ourselves that there’s no way a work of art, let alone a masterpiece, can come from them. But look at Paul’s words in Romans 8:28: “And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them” (nlt). You may not see how everything in your life can work together for good, but God does. So the wisest course of action is to follow the advice of Proverbs 3:5: “Trust in the lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding” (NLT). Don’t fret if you can’t make sense of the work in progress in your life. Trust the Artist. Reflection question: What evidence do you see of God’s work in your life?

Corinthians

In this lecture on 1 Corinthians 2:6-16, Don Carson emphasizes that the wisdom of God, revealed through the cross, is accessible only through the Holy Spirit. The Spirit helps believers understand and proclaim the wisdom of the cross, which is foundational to spiritual growth and revival. Carson warns against elitism and stresses the importance of humility and the gospel in true spiritual understanding.He teaches the following:How the wisdom of God contrasts with worldly wisdom and the rulers of this ageThe Holy Spirit searches all things, and only the Spirit of God can understand God's thoughtsWhy the interpretation of Scripture must be grounded in the Spirit's guidanceHow the wisdom of the cross is accessible to all believersThe differences between the natural person and the spiritual personThe cross is the supreme climax of God's self-disclosure to humanityWhy the work of the Spirit is essential in both individual conversions and church revivals

How would you answer if Paul asked you, "What do you have that you did not receive?" A proud person will answer one way and a humble person quite differently. Your answer matters, because God will pour out grace upon you if you are a humble person.Join me for today's Daily Word & Prayer to learn more.Scripture Used in Today's Message1 Corinthians 4:7James 1:17

In this week's sermon of our City of Light series, we dive into one of the most practical and debated passages in Paul's letter to the Corinthians—a teaching on spiritual gifts, particularly tongues and prophecy.In 1 Corinthians 14, Paul builds on the previous chapters by making a clear, pastoral case: spiritual gifts are meant to strengthen and edify the Church, not elevate individuals. While some gifts may seem more “spiritual,” Paul argues that their true value is found in how they build up others in the body of Christ.

Are we willing to lay aside our own rights and freedoms out of love for other people? Paul challenges the Corinthian church to not let their own knowledge interfere with their ability to love their brothers and sisters well. 

We have received many freedoms through Christ, but with that comes navigating how to love others more than we love our own rights. This week, our conversation largely focuses around that idea, and we explore questions like: What are some things that we need to be willing to sacrifice for the sake of loving others? How can we discern when it's appropriate to challenge the expectations of others and when we would be sinning against them? How did this passage hit you personally?

In this lecture, Don Carson highlights the original scandal of the cross in the ancient world and its power to divide humanity between those perishing and those being saved. Paul's message emphasizes that true ministry must center on Christ crucified, not human eloquence or cultural status. Carson warns against modern evangelical distractions and urges a return to the transforming power of the gospel.He teaches the following:The shocking implications of the cross and crucifixion in the first century, and how they are different todayWhy people often want to set their own criteria for what God should be likeGod has already passed judgment on the best that the world has to offer through the crossThe message of the cross is that God's wisdom and power are displayed in the moment of greatest human weaknessWhy being wise, powerful, or well-born cannot be a criterion for being a ChristianA warning against the idolatries of evangelicalism, such as the love of methods and self-promotionHow focusing too much on social and political ramifications can lead to a quiet denial of the gospelThe message of the cross is the only polarity in the human race that is of eternal consequence

1 Corinthians 2:1-5 New International Version   2 And so it was with me, brothers and sisters. When I came to you, I did not come with eloquence or human wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. 2 For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3 I came to you in weakness with great fear and trembling. 4 My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, 5 so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God's power.

While this passage may seem like a commercial against marriage, it is really a call to be fully devoted to Jesus whether we are single or married. How can we fight to make our pursuit of Jesus our priority, no matter our season of life?

What NOT to do goes a long way in a man's life. Men Don't... 1. Fall Asleep at the Wheel       Alertness is commanded throughout Scripture 2. Bring a Knife to a Gun Fight 3. Settle for “Saved” 4. Lose your “Why” Men, in The Lord… Be Watchful Stand Firm Grow Stronger Love Always  

In 1 Corinthians 4, Paul paints a clear and challenging portrait of what it means to be a true servant of Christ. In this message, Dr. Tony Wolfe explores God's definition of faithful leadership—not marked by status or applause, but by humility, stewardship, and unwavering allegiance to Christ. Discover how this divine blueprint reshapes our view of pastoral ministry and challenges us all to live with gospel-centered integrity.

Big Idea: Law will always push out love… if you let it.1 Corinthians 8:1-13I. Wisdom without love only hurts people.1 Corinthians 8:1-3Now about food sacrificed to idols: We know that “we all have knowledge.” Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. If anyone thinks he knows anything, he does not yet know it as he ought to know it. But if anyone loves God, he is known by him.II. There's no greater sacrifice than the one that set you free. 1 Corinthians 8:4-6About eating food sacrificed to idols, then, we know that “an idol is nothing in the world,” and that “there is no God but one.” For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth—as there are many “gods” and many “lords”—yet for us there is one God, the Father. All things are from him, and we exist for him. And there is one Lord, Jesus Christ. All things are through him, and we exist through him.III. Let love set the limits of your liberty!  1 Corinthians 8:7-13However, not everyone has this knowledge. Some have been so used to idolatry up until now that when they eat food sacrificed to an idol, their conscience, being weak, is defiled. Food will not bring us close to God. We are not worse off if we don't eat, and we are not better if we do eat. But be careful that this right of yours in no way becomes a stumbling block to the weak. For if someone sees you, the one who has knowledge, dining in an idol's temple, won't his weak conscience be encouraged to eat food offered to idols? So the weak person, the brother or sister for whom Christ died, is ruined by your knowledge. Now when you sin like this against brothers and sisters and wound their weak conscience, you are sinning against Christ. Therefore, if food causes my brother or sister to fall, I will never again eat meat, so that I won't cause my brother or sister to fall.Next Steps: Believe: I surrender my life to King Jesus today.Become: I will build up someone's faith this week.Be Sent: I will serve someone far from Jesus this week.Discussion Questions: What does it look like in your life to give up your freedom to serve someone?Has there been a time when serving others brought you joy?Besides Jesus, who do you know who sacrifices to serve others?What fear holds most people back from serving others?How has your faith influenced your view of freedom?What is one thing you will do this week to serve someone far from Jesus this week?Surrender your freedom to the Holy Spirit this week. 

Send us a textThe Prodigal Church #8What if being faithful meant becoming the “scum of the earth”? In this hard-hitting message, Paul flips the Corinthian view of ministry upside down—and it still challenges today's church.--------In a culture obsessed with platform and polish, Rev. Paul delivers a blistering correction to the Corinthian church's warped view of leadership. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 4:1–13, this sermon reveals that the true measure of a minister isn't charisma, applause, or even perceived effectiveness—it's faithfulness.Paul uses two powerful metaphors:A Steward — A servant who owns nothing and is judged only by the Master's standards, not public opinion.A Spectacle — A condemned prisoner paraded before the world, revealing that true apostleship often means public shame and deep suffering.He calls out premature judgment, prideful comparison, and flesh-driven favoritism. The world may call faithful ministers “fools,” but God calls them sons and daughters.The gospel turns ministry upside down—and if we're building on anything but Christ, we're not building well.HOME | PLAN YOUR VISIT | BLOG | DIGITAL BULLETIN

Understanding the Gifts of the Holy Spirit

1 Corinthians 14:21-40 - The Gift of Prophecy and Tongues by Calvary Chapel Irmo

Ref: SN3630

1 Corinthians 8.  June 15, 2025New Testament

Sermons from our Sunday Services at St.Peter's Free Church, Dundee

As we continue our City of Light series through 1 Corinthians, we arrive at the second half of chapter 13, the famous "love chapter." But this passage isn't just poetic language for weddings—Paul is delivering a powerful correction to a gifted, divided church. He reminds them (and us) that love is not just a virtue; it's the necessary context for all spiritual gifts.In this message, we explore:The timeless primacy of love in Christian communityThe debate over spiritual gifts—have they ceased or do they continue?Why “the perfect” Paul speaks of refers not to the Bible's completion, but to Christ's returnThe stunning truth that we are already fully known and fully loved by GodHow that love liberates us, humbles us, and fortifies us for anything life throws our way

Live with intentionality and perseverance.

A Holy, Catholic Church? | 1 Corinthians 1.1-3 by Christ Church Presbyterian

When sin is tolerated in the church, it harms both individuals and the whole body of Christ. In 1 Corinthians 5, Paul urges the church to pursue holiness by addressing sin with truth and love. In this message, Pastor Wesley Welch explores how God's call to purity flows from His love for His people and His desire to dwell among a holy, restored community.
