Podcasts about 1 corinthians

Everyone seems to have something to say in Corinth, but who is being helped by what is heard? Paul would rather speak five understandable words than ten thousand in a tongue. He calls for speech that teaches, encourages, and consoles, then tells some speakers to wait, others to remain silent, and the Church to weigh what is said. His instructions also address women's speaking in the assembly and confront those who claim spiritual authority while rejecting the Lord's command. How does the Church distinguish a speaker's desire to be heard from speech that builds up Christ's people?   The Rev. James Peterson of St. John Lutheran Church in Curtis, Nebraska, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study 1 Corinthians 14:1–40.  To learn more about St. John Lutheran in Curtis, visit facebook.com/stjohncurtis. What happens when Christians turn their pastors into rival teams, take one another to court, and leave their neighbors hungry at the Lord's Supper? Corinth gives Paul plenty to write about. Questions about marriage, meat sacrificed to idols, spiritual gifts, and the resurrection bring the apostle into the daily life of a church struggling with pride and division. Through it all, he keeps bringing them back to Christ crucified and risen.  In 2 Corinthians, the strained relationship between Paul and the people he loves brings its own painful questions about forgiveness, faithful ministry, suffering, and weakness. These letters give us the treasure in jars of clay, the promise of resurrection, and the assurance that Christ's grace is sufficient. Join Thy Strong Word as we study 1 and 2 Corinthians verse by verse and hear what God speaks to a troubled church He has called His own.  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations. Submit comments or questions to: thystrongword@kfuo.org.

Order my new book Politics, Economics and New Testament Interpretation: Amazon: https://a.co/d/0aFo5AeDLCI: https://libertarianchristians.com/store/politics-economics-and-new-testament-interpretation/In this episode I explore Paul's statement in 1 Corinthians 2:2 that he “desired to know nothing among you [the Corinthians] except Jesus Christ and him crucified”. I explain how Paul always has the life, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus in mind and that Christ's death is always conceptualized as crucifixion. In this context, Paul is appealing to the Corinthians to imitate Christ and overcome the divisions which are plaguing the church, and how the cross serves as the model for Christian ethics. I argue that the cross must be the starting point for Christian discipleship, and that there is no area of life, including political and economic activity, which isn't, for the believer, conditioned by the cross. What would happen if the church of today determined to know nothing except the crucified Christ?Media Referenced:https://libertarianchristians.com/episode/politics-economics-and-new-testament-interpretation-with-alex-bernardo/https://libertarianchristians.com/episode/all-things-to-all-people-1-corinthians-919-23/https://libertarianchristians.com/episode/ep-257-the-rulers-of-this-age-are-passing-away-1-corinthians-26-8/Sign up for LCI's 2026 Conference in Cincinnati, OH on Saturday, October 17!

What happens when we hold too tightly to our rights and desires? In Week 7 through 1 Corinthians, the Corner Church team explores 1 Corinthians 6, Acts 16, personal freedom, healthy boundaries, and the peace that comes from keeping Christ central.

Christian cynicism can cause us to lose sight of the quiet faithfulness happening all around us and lower our expectations for what God can do through ordinary people. As we surrender ourselves to God's transforming work and commit to becoming more like Jesus together, we can become a community of everyday saints who join God in the healing of our world, one life at a time.

In this week's message, Pastor Sean teaches through 1 Corinthians 2:6–16, showing us the difference between the wisdom of God and the wisdom of the world. The message reminds us that the truths of God cannot be fully understood through human wisdom alone, but are revealed to us through the Holy Spirit. Pastor Sean emphasizes the importance of allowing the Spirit to shape the way we understand, discern, and live out our faith. It's an encouraging reminder that God has given us His Spirit so we can know Him more deeply and see our lives through the truth of the Gospel.

This week we have John Mandoukos continuing our series on 1 Corinthians!

Message - Kevin Dean  Scripture - 1 Corinthians 13:8-13 Date - September 28th, 2026

Mark and Cindy continue their deep exploration of 1 Corinthians 4, discussing how Paul speaks to the Corinthians not to shame them, but to admonish them as beloved children—revealing that genuine spiritual leadership is rooted not merely in knowing truth, but in caring enough to help others live it. They note from the text the dangerous relationship between arrogance and being unteachable, recognizing that impressive words mean very little if our lives lack the power of genuine transformation, and that the kingdom of God is not built on talk, reputation, or empty claims—it is demonstrated through lives surrendered to God's power. Ultimately, Paul places the choice before the Corinthians --- a choice we too face every day: will we respond to loving correction with humility, or will our stubbornness require something much harder?

God has given every believer a gift, a role, and a place within the body of Christ. But our gifts aren't about elevating ourselves—they're about serving others. In this message, we explore the relationship between men and women in the body, the work of the Holy Spirit, and the importance of using the gifts of the Spirit with love, humility, and order. Discover how God wants His Spirit working not only in you, but through you, whether you are male or female.

Luke continues our 1 Corinthians series by exploring four often-overlooked spiritual gifts—administration, helps/service, mercy, and giving—and invites believers to discover how God has uniquely equipped them to meet practical needs and strengthen the body of Christ.

1 Corinthians Conclusion

It's the question dominating our modern world: How should we interact with Artificial Intelligence? In this thought-provoking message, David Jansson brings the ancient wisdom of First Corinthians into our high-tech reality. Acknowledging the rapid rise of AI and the real anxieties surrounding it, David challenges us to examine our relationship with technology through three vital, biblical lenses: formation, fellowship, and fear. While AI can efficiently answer questions and draft emails, it cannot replicate the messy, beautiful, and essential human experiences of deep connection, communal worship, and character formation. This message is a timely call to resist the easy, isolated path of technological reliance and instead intentionally choose the slower, richer way of human relationship and God-centered wisdom.Main PointsFormation over Convenience: How over-relying on AI for tasks can subtly deform our character, eroding our patience and capacity for critical thought.Fellowship over Efficiency: The biblical truth that humanity was created for deep, interpersonal connection—a reality no algorithm or chatbot can ever replace or fulfill.Faith over Fear: Why Christians do not need to operate in a posture of fear regarding the future of AI, resting instead in the sovereign victory and eternal wisdom of God.The Practical Call: A challenge to intentionally engage in uniquely human activities—like sharing a meal, creating original art, or asking a friend for advice—to resist technological isolation.Biblical References1 Corinthians 1:18–2:16Genesis 2:18Psalm 115:8 Support the show*Summaries and transcripts are generated using AI.

September 20, 2026 - Sunday AM Bible Class   In this episode Neal continues a verse-by-verse study through 1 Corinthians chapters 3 and 4, picking up where Hiram left off. The message surveys Paul's diagnosis of spiritual immaturity in the Corinthian church — personality-driven division, worldly wisdom, and the dangers of lining up behind men instead of Christ — and unfolds Paul's corrective plan for rebuilding congregational unity. The lesson walks through Paul's metaphors: the vineyard and the building. Converts are pictured as building materials — gold, silver and precious stones versus wood, hay and straw — and Paul explains how the “day” of trials (fire) will reveal what endures. The talk emphasizes that the proper foundation is Jesus Christ and that God, not human planters or waterers, causes growth. Key theological points include the role of the Spirit and the collective nature of the church as God's temple. The speaker addresses the promise of reward when converts endure, the heartbreak of followers who fall away, and the comforting truth that teachers who faithfully labor will be saved even if some of their converts prove spiritually weak. Practical application focuses on humility and stewardship: Paul and Apollos are presented as servants and stewards, not celebrities, and the congregation is exhorted to adopt servant-hearted attitudes. The talk calls believers to be faithful in evangelism, live consistently as salt and light, learn and teach the “mysteries” of the gospel, and avoid worldly wisdom that breeds pride and division. Illustrations and personalities referenced include the apostle Paul as the primary example, a mention of Hiram's prior lesson, Timothy as a faithful child in the Lord, and modern examples of individuals who amplified evangelistic fruit. The episode closes by encouraging imitation of faithful teachers, fostering unity through instruction, and preparing to continue in chapter 4 next week.   Duration 44:44

September 27th, 2026 Pastor Chad McDonald The creativity of man is impressive. Just think of the technological advances over the last 30 years. Technology has shifted from slow, wired, dial-up connections and bulky desktop machines to an era of pocket-sized supercomputers and instantaneous global cloud-based communication. That’s just technology. Think of the scientific and medical advances. We have produced so much and made so many advances. It’s funny how impressed we can become with ourselves. The one area where we have not progressed in is human behavior. We have not progressed in morality. We can control so much, but we cannot control human behavior. Even the wisest, most wealthy and most intelligent find themselves demented, despaired and degraded in their own behavior. That is why the focus and heart of Paul’s preaching is Christ coming to deal with the root problem. The root problem of man is the sinfulness of the human heart, and no amount of scientific, technological or philosophical advances can touch this root problem. The only reality that can touch that problem is Christ and Him crucified. We must always be clear on this: only the gospel has the power to change the human heart. Only the gospel has the power to change a sick world and society. Christ and Him crucified is the message that God has empowered us by His Spirit to proclaim and bear witness to in this fallen world. As we continue our study in 1 Corinthians, this will again be the focus of Paul’s instruction. Read ahead if you have the chance. Our text will be 1 Corinthians 1:26 – 2:5. Don’t miss worship this weekend. Make plans and begin to prepare your heart for corporate worship. It’s going to be a great weekend of worship

How do you know if you're growing up? Not by how old you are. Not by how much you know. Sometimes you know you're growing up when you finally have the courage to look in the mirror and say, “The problem isn't everybody else. God wants to change something in me.” Paul ends 1 Corinthians with five commands that essentially say: “Let's grow up.”

Welcome to Time in the Word, a Bible teaching ministry of A Love Outreach. In this episode, Pastor Dave will walk us through 1 Corinthians chapter 5 with a practical, verse-by-verse reading and discussion. This is a simple Spirit-led time in God's Word—reading the Scriptures and pausing along the way to reflect, explain, and apply what we see. Whether you are new to the Bible or have walked with the Lord for years, our prayer is that this time in the Word would draw you closer to Jesus, strengthen your faith, and deepen your understanding of His truth.

*Listen to the Show notes and podcast transcript with this multi-language player. Summary God is raising and purifying a spiritual priesthood whose focus is firmly set upon Him. Although believers should remain aware of what is happening in the world, they must not allow their spirits to become distracted or consumed by it. Christ has already won the victory; therefore, His people are called to walk in that victory, trust His promises, and carry His presence into every situation. This priesthood ministers to God through worship, listening, faith, and intercession for all creation. Believers do not enter this calling through human effort or spiritual striving, but through the enabling power of the Holy Spirit. As they become conformed to the image of Christ and learn to live with an awareness of who they are in Him, God's presence and glory flow through them. Their faith is not merely directed toward something that will happen someday—it declares that God's Kingdom is coming forth now. Show Notes God is raising and purifying a spiritual priesthood.Believers must guard their focus and avoid becoming spiritually consumed by world events.Christ has already won the battle; our calling is to walk in His victory.Priestly intercession reaches beyond personal needs and embraces all creation.Worshiping and praying in tongues allow the Holy Spirit to intercede beyond our natural understanding.Listening and waiting upon the Lord are essential parts of spiritual intercession.Everyone must begin where they are and trust the Holy Spirit to reveal the next step.Spiritual growth requires movement; believers should not become stagnant.Entering God's presence is an act of faith rather than human effort.A single Scripture can become a daily focus for meditation, faith, and communion with God.Spiritual intensity does not require strain because believers are also entering God's rest.Creation's deliverance is connected to the sons of God becoming conformed to Christ's image.Believers carry God's presence into ordinary situations simply by knowing who they are in Christ.Faith declares that God's Kingdom is coming forth in the earth—and within His people—now. Quotes “God's raising a priest. Our focus needs to be so much on reaching into Him.”“It's already been won, so we walk in His victory as the channels of victory.”“We are to be the intercessors for all creation because we have to understand that's where we live now.”“There's a lot of waiting on the Lord, a lot of listening.”“At least be in motion. Don't be stagnant.”“You position yourself in His presence by faith.”“Don't make it this hard thing. The Holy Spirit leads us and guides us every single step.”“We can't make this happen through human effort. It is to be that of the Spirit.”“Just know who you are, so that when you come into any situation, you're aware that you're bringing His presence into that situation.”“Our faith is now. What we declare is now. What we're believing is now.” Scriptural References 1Peter 2(5, 9)— Believers are being built together as a holy and royal priesthood to offer spiritual sacrifices and proclaim God's excellencies.Hebrews 9(11-14)— Christ entered God's presence as the perfect High Priest through His own blood, securing eternal redemption.Colossians 3(1-2)— Believers are instructed to set their minds on the things above rather than becoming consumed by earthly distractions.Matthew 6(33)— Seeking God's Kingdom first establishes the proper focus for every part of life.Romans 8(19-23)— Creation waits for the revealing of God's sons and for deliverance from its slavery to corruption.Romans 8(26-27)— The Holy Spirit helps believers in their weakness and intercedes according to the will of God.Romans 8(29-30)— God has called His people to become conformed to the image of His Son, and His completed purpose includes their justification and glorification.1Corinthians 14(2, 15)— Speaking and worshiping in the Spirit allow believers to communicate with God beyond their natural understanding.Zechariah 4(6)— God's purposes are accomplished not through human strength or power, but by His Spirit.Hebrews 11(6)— Faith is essential to pleasing God and approaching Him with confidence.Hebrews 4(9-11)— God's people are called to enter His rest, ceasing from fleshly striving while trusting His completed work.John 16(13)— The Holy Spirit guides believers into truth and reveals what the Father is speaking.2Corinthians 5(7)— The life of the believer is governed by faith rather than by natural sight, circumstances, or feelings. Takeaway God is raising a priesthood that lives in His presence and intercedes for all creation. We do not fulfill this calling through striving, emotion, or human ability. We begin where we are, set our spirits upon the Lord, listen to the Holy Spirit, meditate upon His Word, and take each step by faith. As we become aware of who we are in Christ, we carry His presence and victory into every situation. Our faith is not waiting passively for a...

Are you ready for self-control?In this men's breakout session at the Milwaukee Avenue Church of Christ in Lubbock, Texas, Noah [Last Name] starts by asking the room what real men do: hunting, deep-sea fishing, working on cars, chopping wood. Then he turns to Proverbs, where the strongest man isn't the one who conquers a city but the one who rules his own spirit.This is an interactive class, and the men in the room help build out what self-control is, where we need it, and what it takes.In this session:- A man without self-control is a conquered city; a man with it is mightier than the conqueror (Proverbs 25:28; 16:32)- There's no area of life where self-control isn't needed- Self-control is productive, not just preventive: Jesus chose the cross- Self-control is about making the choice, not just making the right choice- The prerequisites: knowledge, a greater goal, practice, diligence, trust in God, and humility (1 Corinthians 9:24–27; 10:1–12)- Self-control is a choice, and self-control is submission: "Blessed are the meek"Part of our "Are You Ready?" weekend series.0:00 What do real men do?4:40 A city with broken walls (Proverbs 25:28)5:58 Better than the one who takes a city (Proverbs 16:32)8:24 Where do we need self-control?19:56 Self-control is productive, not just preventive34:36 The prerequisites of self-control42:43 Lessons from 1 Corinthians 955:03 Humility, choice, and submission

Paul makes a convincing case that the Corinthians should support his ministry, then explains why he has refused their support. Why defend a right he will not exercise? The answer reaches beyond a pastor's paycheck to the things Christians willingly surrender so that others may hear the Gospel. Paul's freedom makes him a servant, and his calling demands the discipline of an athlete running to win. What might our insistence on getting what we deserve put in the way of someone hearing Christ?  The Rev. Keith Aschenbeck of Grace Lutheran Church in Victoria, Texas, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study 1 Corinthians 9:1–27. To learn more about Grace Lutheran, visit gracelutheran-tx.org. What happens when Christians turn their pastors into rival teams, take one another to court, and leave their neighbors hungry at the Lord's Supper? Corinth gives Paul plenty to write about. Questions about marriage, meat sacrificed to idols, spiritual gifts, and the resurrection bring the apostle into the daily life of a church struggling with pride and division. Through it all, he keeps bringing them back to Christ crucified and risen.  In 2 Corinthians, the strained relationship between Paul and the people he loves brings its own painful questions about forgiveness, faithful ministry, suffering, and weakness. These letters give us the treasure in jars of clay, the promise of resurrection, and the assurance that Christ's grace is sufficient. Join Thy Strong Word as we study 1 and 2 Corinthians verse by verse and hear what God speaks to a troubled church He has called His own.  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations. Submit comments or questions to: thystrongword@kfuo.org.

Why should we refuse to get sucked in by the empty promises of this world? Because this age is passing away; nothing it offers will eternally satisfy.
