Podcasts about 1 corinthians

In this age, the Christian life is a waiting life. But we wait full of confidence that Christ will return and bring us into our eternal home.

Send us a message!We move from Corinth's obsession with leaders to Paul's hard reset on holiness, showing why unaddressed sin quietly reshapes an entire church. We wrestle with 1 Corinthians 5–6, where accountability, conflict, and sexual integrity all point back to who we are in Christ and what love actually requires. • why church discipline feels controversial and how it gets abused • the “little yeast” warning and why tolerated sin spreads • judging those inside the church rather than policing outsiders • why lawsuits between believers signal spiritual defeat • the call to flee sexual immorality because our bodies belong to the Lord • Jesus' Matthew 18 process for confronting sin with wisdom and love  At outloudbible.com, you can find free resources to help you study the Bible.

As a culture, we value our individual rights. How exactly do we exercise our rights as followers of Christ Jesus?

Scripture Reference: 1 Corinthians 9:1-14 Main Idea: A maturing church governs their liberties in Christ out of love for the Gospel of Christ. Application Questions: Have you come to believe the gospel of Christ? Will you give up your Christian liberties for the sake of reaching unbelievers with the Gospel? Q. In the beginning of the passage, Paul defends himself as an apostle. My question is this - Do apostles still exist today? Q. The text talks about pastors being financially supported by their churches. I have a somewhat related question - Should church pastors and staff still be expected to volunteer any of their non-staff paid time to ministry in the church? Q. How do very small churches find the balance between having enough money in the bank to ensure meeting legal responsibilities, utilities, etc. and paying the pastor a meaningful salary when money gets tight? We have created a place where you can send us your questions regarding the sermons or topics we discuss in these podcasts. Send them to sermonquestions@ubcbeavercreek.com.

Was Paul really an Apostle?

Packinghouse's Sunday morning worship service from July 19, 2026. 1 Corinthians 9 explains that while believers may have certain rights and freedoms, the highest priority is using our lives to help others come to Christ. Looking at Paul's example, the message emphasizes willingly laying aside personal preferences, serving others with humility, and viewing every opportunity through the lens of the gospel. Pastor Ed encourages believers to live with eternal perspective, recognizing that simple acts of love and faithfully speaking the name of Jesus can have lasting spiritual impact far beyond what we can see. - Ed Rea - Sunday, July 19, 2026

Pastor Mike Jurek continues our series in 1 Corinthians by exploring Paul's strong words about church discipline and the importance of protecting the body of Christ. This message reminds us that God calls His people to respond differently to those seeking restoration than to those who deliberately lead others into harm. Grace and truth always work together.As we pursue a healthy and united church, we are challenged to forgive those who truly repent, establish wise boundaries where needed, and remain focused on God's mission. A church that walks in both love and integrity is a powerful witness to the world.#GoodHopeChurch #PastorMikeJurek #1Corinthians #GraceAndTruth #ChurchFamily #ChristianFaith #Integrity #Forgiveness #Unity #FollowJesusSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/corinthians-3-mjGiving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn 

As Pastor Mike Stevens continues our journey through 1 Corinthians, we take a closer look at one of the Bible's most challenging passages. While Paul calls the church to confront unrepentant sin, the heart of the message is not condemnation but protection. There is a clear difference between broken people who need grace and wolves who seek to harm others. The church is called to love, restore, and forgive those who genuinely repent while also maintaining healthy boundaries that protect the body of Christ.True unity isn't achieved by ignoring sin. It is built on integrity, truth, forgiveness, and a shared commitment to following Jesus. As believers encourage one another and speak the truth in love, the church becomes stronger, healthier, and better equipped to fulfill God's mission.#GoodHopeChurch #PastorMikeStevens #1Corinthians #BiblicalTruth #ChurchUnity #Forgiveness #GraceAndTruth #ChristianLiving #Faith #JesusSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/corinthians-3Giving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn

Join Pastor Daniel Stevens as we continue our study through 1 Corinthians and discover the balance between grace and accountability within the church. In this message, Paul reminds believers that while every broken person is welcome, the church must also guard against those who intentionally bring harm. God's desire is always restoration, but healthy boundaries are an important part of protecting His people.This message challenges us to pursue unity that is rooted in truth, integrity, and genuine repentance. When the church extends forgiveness while remaining faithful to God's standards, it reflects both the love and holiness of Christ to the world.#GoodHopeChurch #PastorDanielStevens #1Corinthians #ChurchUnity #Grace #Truth #BiblicalTeaching #FaithInAction #ChristianLife #JesusSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/corinthians-3-dsGiving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn 

On any given Sunday, churches across the globe are gathering with the people of God to worship. And while the style of music, clothes we wear, languages we speak, and order of service may look different, there are often more similarities than we give credit to. In this final passage in the “How we gather” section, Paul reminds us of what matters when we come together and how we are to do so.

1 CORINTHIANS  Correction With Confidence Because of The Faithfulness Of God Toward  His Saints!1 Corinthians 16:5–12 (ESV) I will visit you after passing through Macedonia, for I intend to pass through Macedonia, 6 and perhaps I will stay with you or even spend the winter, so that you may help me on my journey, wherever I go. 7 For I do not want to see you now just in passing. I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits. 8 But I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost, 9 for a wide door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.  10 When Timothy comes, see that you put him at ease among you, for he is doing the work of the Lord, as I am. 11 So let no one despise him. Help him on his way in peace, that he may return to me, for I am expecting him with the brothers. 12 Now concerning our brother Apollos, I strongly urged him to visit you with the other brothers, but it was not at all his will to come now. He will come when he has opportunity.MAKE PLANS FOR THE WORK OF THE LORD, TRUSTING THE PROVIDENCE OF GODPLAN INTENTIONALITY FOR THE WORK OF THE LORD (V5-9) PURPOSE YOUR LIFE AROUND THE WORK OF THE LORD (V5-12) PERCEIVE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOUR PLANS AND GOD'S PLAN (V12)

There's a habit we all carry into church that most of us don't even notice. More often than not, it's subconscious. The world we live in causes us to rate everything. We review restaurants, movies, hotels, apps, products, airlines, uber drivers. We're trained consumers, constantly reviewing and grading our experiences. And when something stops delivering what we want, we cancel the subscription and simply move on.__________Get more out of today's teaching by visiting our Church Online page for things like our community guide, a weekly devotional, and the teaching slides.

What's your spiritual gift, and how do you know it's actually from God? We're in 1 Corinthians 12 — a church overflowing with spiritual activity that Paul still calls "ignorant." We'll unpack what he means, and what it looks like to actually walk in what the Spirit has given you.

This Sunday, we are continuing our "Practices" series by exploring the heart and history behind Communion (the Lord's Supper). We'll dive into the biblical context of how the disciples first experienced this meal, look at what the Apostle Paul taught the church in Corinth about Communion, and clear up some common questions about this historical sacrament.At the end of our gathering, we will slow down and actually partake of Communion together. Whether you've taken the bread and the cup a thousand times or this will be your very first time, the Lord's table is open. There is a seat saved for you!

Your rights might be real, but they might also be the thing keeping someone from seeing Jesus. We open 1 Corinthians 9 and follow Paul as he defends his apostolic authority, then does something shocking: he voluntarily lays down legitimate privileges so the gospel can move faster and farther. That single choice becomes a mirror for modern Christian life, where personal freedom, public opinion, and “I deserve this” can quietly outrank our witness. We get practical about where this hits home. We talk about speech, self-control, and the difference between what we're allowed to do and what actually builds up other people. Paul's strategy is not compromise; it's mission. He finds common ground with Jews, Gentiles, and those who feel weak in faith, while staying anchored to obedience to Christ. Along the way, we name today's cultural idols and distractions, from status chasing to the nonstop pull of our phones, and ask what it looks like to live inside a culture without being owned by it. Then we lean into Paul's athletic metaphor: spiritual discipline is training, not vibes. We want lives that match our message, not lives that undermine it. Finally, we go to Acts 9, where everything in Paul's life changes through a divine encounter with Jesus and we make the case that we need ongoing encounters too, not just a memory from years ago. If you want a deeper Christian walk, stronger discipleship habits, and a clearer gospel witness, press play, then subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review with the line that challenged you most.Thanks for listening!  Follow us on Facebook or YouTube.

In this message from our 1 Corinthians series, Mbonisi Malaba explores how we can faithfully navigate the complexities of everyday life with biblical wisdom. Looking at 1 Corinthians 10, he shows how Paul's teaching calls us to seek the good of others, live for the glory of God, and follow the example of Christ in every decision we make. A practical and encouraging message for anyone seeking to honour Jesus in today's complex world.

How do the Corinthian church's riches in word and knowledge serve to confirm the testimony of Christ? Their beautiful speech shows a beautiful Savior.

“Since God in his wisdom saw to it that the world would never know him through human wisdom, he has used our foolish preaching to save those who believe.” (1 Corinthians 1:21 NLT) As we look back in history and see the names of Jonathan Edwards, George Whitefield, Billy Sunday, Billy Graham, and others, we may be tempted to pray for the Lord to raise up a similar firebrand to ignite a much-needed revival in our nation today. But the Bible makes it clear that revival—the spread of the Good News of Jesus Christ—is not something that’s best left to the experts. Who’s called to preach the gospel? According to God’s Word, it isn’t just pastors, teachers, evangelists, and missionaries. It’s any person, anywhere, who names the name of Christ. Jesus Himself gave us our marching orders when He said, “Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you” (Matthew 28:19–20 NLT). Jesus called His followers to share the gospel. And He called us to share it everywhere. In another variation of what we call the Great Commission, Jesus said, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone” (Mark 16:15 NLT). We can localize this by saying, “Go into all your world and preach the gospel. Go to all your family, to your workplace, and to your neighborhood. Go into your sphere of influence.” In other words, lay the groundwork for localized revivals. Why are we to do this? Because God’s primary way of reaching people is through people. The apostle Paul wrote that “since God in his wisdom saw to it that the world would never know him through human wisdom, he has used our foolish preaching to save those who believe” (1 Corinthians 1:21 NLT). God has chosen to communicate His gospel primarily through us as we share it verbally. That’s not to say there isn’t a place for living the gospel. In fact, living the gospel—letting Christ’s light shine through us—effectively earns us the right to share the gospel. But we shouldn’t merely rely on our silent example. We need to look for opportunities to specifically articulate the gospel message to others. The apostle Paul also wrote, “And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them?” (Romans 10:14 NLT). We should be doing this because we care, because we have a burden for people who don’t know the Lord. As individual believers, we may not be able to plan a revival—not in the broadest sense of the word, at least. But we can launch individual or localized revivals in the lives of others by sharing the gospel as Jesus called us to do.

Send us a message!We trace Paul's path from Acts into Corinth and face the uncomfortable truth that church conflict is nothing new. We read the opening of 1 Corinthians and let Paul re-center our faith on Christ crucified rather than charisma, factions, or human wisdom. • Paul's missionary context from Acts and why Corinth matters • Paul's choice to work as a tentmaker to avoid suspicion • How division and “horizontal energy” distract the church from God • Why 1 Corinthians reads like a practical workbook for church life • Paul's appeal for unity and his critique of leader-based factions • The wisdom of the cross versus the wisdom of the world • Paul's weakness and humility so faith rests on the Spirit's power Download your Echo Bible study for the book of First Corinthians, called Messy Church.

1 Corinthians 16:1–4 (ESV) Now concerning the collection for the saints: as I directed the churches of Galatia, so you also are to do. 2 On the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper, so that there will be no collecting when I come. 3 And when I arrive, I will send those whom you accredit by letter to carry your gift to Jerusalem. 4 If it seems advisable that I should go also, they will accompany me.  CONSIDER GIVING AS A PERISHING, PRACTICAL, PURPOSED, PARTICIPATION IN THE WORK OF CHRIST1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.  WE SHOULD BE PRACTICAL IN GIVING (v1-2)  WE SHOULD BE PURPOSED IN GIVING (v2 “as he may prosper”)      1 Timothy 6:17–19 (ESV) As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes onthe uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy. 18 They are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, 19 thus storing up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life.WE SHOULD PARTICIPATE IN GIVING (v3-4)       2 Corinthians 8:9  For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.Application: Consider how the Gospel motivates your practical,purposed, participation in giving and plan how you can give generously in the work of the Lord.

Grace is God's favor toward us, his power for us, and his gifts to us. What kind of response does this stunning display of God's goodness call for?

In this message from our “Cutting Through the Noise” series, Pastor J.D. picks up the analogy Paul uses in chapter 9—of an athlete in training—and asks us, “How can we run like disciplined athletes in pursuit of the race God has set before us?” Athletes are ruthless, eliminating everything that stands in the way of winning. And we should be the same. Whether we're looking at our personal preferences, our worship services, our political decisions, even our ethnic identity … we lay it all on the line for the sake of the gospel—that we might save some.

We read one of Paul's toughest lists in 1 Corinthians 6 and refuse to let it become a weapon, because his point is not condemnation but transformation. We land on the promise that our past does not get the final word, because in Jesus we are washed, sanctified, and justified. • why Paul says “do you not know” and how vice lists function rhetorically • where our culture agrees with Paul while quietly tolerating greed, contempt, and coping through alcohol • what porneia means and why Acts 15 matters for Christian sexual ethics • why translation is interpretation and why malakoi and arsenokoitai raise hard questions • the difference between condemning behavior and condemning people, including how we talk about orientation • how the church can honor singleness without isolating singles, including friendship, hospitality, and healing touch • “washed” as baptismal identity and Jesus' cleansing that changes self-perception • “sanctified” as God's holy pull that reshapes desire and forms a priesthood for the world • “justified” as God's gift that ends the scramble to prove our worth and redefines the good life “If you've never said yes to Jesus, there'll be people that are just willing to pray with you.” “The people with the lanyards are the people you want to find if you'd like to receive prayer.” Support the show

We live in a culture that celebrates freedom above almost everything else. We treasure our independence, our rights, and our ability to make our own choices. But what if the freedom we've been given as followers of Christ is meant for something far greater than simply doing whatever we want?__________Get more out of today's teaching by visiting our Church Online page for things like our community guide, a weekly devotional, and the teaching slides.

What happens when the meal meant to unite us becomes the thing that divides us? We're in 1 Corinthians 11 — the Lord's Supper, why Paul was furious about how the Corinthian church was taking it, and what it actually means to "discern the body." Come ready to see communion differently.
