Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Read more about Project23 and partner with us as we teach every verse of the Bible on video. Our text today is 1 Corinthians 1:30-31. There's a quiet pressure most people feel — the pressure to be enough. Strong enough. Wise enough. Disciplined enough. Spiritual enough. Successful enough. And when we're not? We hide it. Or we hustle to make up for it. Paul ends this opening chapter with a truth that cuts through all that pressure: And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, so that, as it is written, "Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord." — 1 Corinthians 1:30–31 Everything you're trying to be on your own? Christ already is for you. You don't become wise by trying harder — Christ is your wisdom. You don't become righteous by earning it — Christ is your righteousness. You don't become holy by sheer effort — Christ is your sanctification. You don't redeem your past with better days ahead — Christ is your redemption. He is everything you're not. And everything you can't be without Him. And Paul says this so you'll stop doing the one thing that ruins your joy: Stop boasting in yourself. Start boasting in Him. Because the gospel flips the script: Your weaknesses are not liabilities — they're invitations. Your limitations are not failures — they're reminders. Your shortcomings are not final — they're places Jesus fills. This whole chapter has been Paul saying, "Look at how God works… and look at how God chooses… and look at who God saves…" And now he says, "Look at why." So no one can boast. And no one can say, "Look what I did." It's all Christ. It's always been Christ. It will always be Christ. Christ is everything you're not —and everything you need. DO THIS: Take five minutes today and thank Jesus out loud for being each of these in your life: your wisdom your righteousness your sanctification your redemption Name them slowly. Let gratitude reset your heart. ASK THIS: Which of these four truths do you most need to rest in today? Where are you still trying to "boast" in your own strength? What changes when you truly see Christ as your righteousness? PRAY THIS: Jesus, You are everything I can't be without You. Be my wisdom, my righteousness, my sanctification, and my redemption today. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Yet Not I But Through Christ in Me"

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Read more about Project23 and partner with us as we teach every verse of the Bible on video. Our text today is 1 Corinthians 1:26-29. Some of the most defining moments in life aren't victories. They're the moments you were overlooked. Not chosen. Not impressive enough. Not the one anyone expected to matter. Paul actually wants you to remember those moments — because they're the key to seeing how God works. For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. — 1 Corinthians 1:26–29 God doesn't choose people the way the world does. He's not scanning for the polished, the pedigreed, or the popular. He looks for the humble. The ones without a platform. The ones without the résumé. The ones the world doesn't even see. Why? Because God loves turning the unpicked into the proven. God picks the ones nobody picks to prove what only He can do. That's the gospel pattern: The weak shame the strong. The foolish confront the wise. The overlooked carry the truth. The small things become his strategy. You weren't chosen because you were qualified. You were chosen because Christ was qualified. And in Christ, your story becomes his showcase. Your weakness becomes his window. Your life becomes his evidence. So don't resent the places where you feel overlooked. Those are often the very places where God grips your life the tightest and displays his strength the loudest. DO THIS: Write down one weakness you usually hide — then ask God to use that exact weakness as a platform for His strength today. ASK THIS: Where do you feel overlooked — and how might God use that? What weakness in your life might actually be a doorway for God's power? Are you comparing yourself to others instead of trusting God's calling? PRAY THIS: Jesus, thank You for choosing what the world overlooks. Turn my weakness into a platform for Your strength. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Grace to Grace"
Year A, Third Sunday After Epiphany
Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Read more about Project23 and partner with us as we teach every verse of the Bible on video. Our text today is 1 Corinthians 1:22-25. Some people miss God's answer because it doesn't look like the answer they wanted. The Jews wanted signs — power on full display. The Greeks wanted wisdom — arguments polished like marble. Everyone wanted something impressive. But God didn't send a performer or a philosopher. He sent a crucified Savior. Not what they asked for… but God gave something better. For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. — 1 Corinthians 1:22–25 The cross offended the Jews because it looked too weak. It confused the Greeks because it sounded too foolish. But God wasn't trying to meet their expectations. He was trying to save their souls. What the world thought was weak was actually the strongest thing God ever did. What the world thought was nonsense was actually the smartest plan ever made. And that's the point Paul is driving home: When people demand what they want, God often gives what they need. And what He gives is always better. You don't always get the miracle you ask for. You don't always get the explanation you crave. You don't always get the clarity you think would settle your heart. But God is not short-changing you. God gave something better — and He still does. He gives a Savior who breaks sin, not just symptoms. A cross that delivers, not just dazzles. A gospel that transforms, not just entertains. What people expected would've helped for a moment. What God provided changes eternity. DO THIS: Say this today: "Christ is the power and wisdom I need." ASK THIS: Where have you wanted God to work your way instead of His way? What expectations of God do you need to surrender today? When has God given you something better than what you asked for? PRAY THIS: Jesus, You are the wisdom and power of God. Help me trust Your plan even when it doesn't match my expectations. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Jesus Paid It All"

Pastor John Miller continues our study in 1 Corinthians with a survey through 1 Corinthians 2:1-3:4.
Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Read more about Project23 and partner with us as we teach every verse of the Bible on video. Our text today is 1 Corinthians 1:18-21. Some things only make sense after they save your life. Before that? They sound like nonsense. That's how Paul describes the cross. To one group, the message of Jesus crucified is the power of God. To another, it's foolishness — a ridiculous idea wrapped in impossible claims. For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart." Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe. — 1 Corinthians 1:18–21 Paul is drawing out a tension we still feel today: The cross sounds like nonsense… until it saves you. The world hears weakness. You hear rescue. The world sees defeat. You see freedom. The world mocks the message. You're living proof of its power. And that's the point Paul is making: God didn't design salvation to impress the world. He designed it to expose the emptiness of human wisdom and highlight the strength of divine grace. Sometimes following Jesus is going to feel like stepping into "a sense of nonsense." Not because the cross is foolish — but because the world around you is blind to its beauty. So don't be surprised when obedience looks odd. When forgiveness feels unreasonable. When holiness makes you stand out. When trust seems unexplainable. When truth gets labeled as narrow or outdated. You're not walking in nonsense. You're walking in God's wisdom, even if the world can't see it yet. What looks like nonsense to the world is the very thing God uses to save it. So stay steady. Stay centered. And let the message of the cross shape your courage today. DO THIS: Say this today: "The cross is God's power at work in me." Let this declaration reset your confidence when doubt creeps in. ASK THIS: Where do you feel pressured to make your faith look more "reasonable" to the world? How has God used the message of the cross to rewrite your life? What part of following Jesus feels most like "nonsense" to outsiders? PRAY THIS: Jesus, give me the courage to trust the power of Your cross even when it looks foolish to others. Help me walk in Your wisdom with boldness and joy. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Lead Me to the Cross"

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Read more about Project23 and partner with us as we teach every verse of the Bible on video. Our text today is 1 Corinthians 1:10-17. The argument started small. They always do. A comparison here. A subtle jab there. Then suddenly the whole church in Corinth was splintering into camps — Paul's camp, Apollos' camp, Peter's camp, even a "we only follow Christ" camp said with a smug twist. Division never screams at first. It whispers. Then it fractures. I appeal to you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment. For it has been reported to me by Chloe's people that there is quarreling among you, my brothers. What I mean is that each one of you says, "I follow Paul," or "I follow Apollos," or "I follow Cephas," or "I follow Christ." Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, so that no one may say that you were baptized in my name. I did baptize also the household of Stephanas. Beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized anyone else. For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with words of eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power. — 1 Corinthians 1:10–17 Paul doesn't tiptoe around the problem. He hits the heart of the issue. Because when people start attaching their identity to personalities rather than to Christ, unity dies. And Paul slices through the noise with one sharp question: "Is Christ divided?" Of course not. But when Christ isn't at the center, people start choosing sides. Here's the truth Corinth needed — and we need: When Christ is at the center, we won't take sides. Pastors don't unite the church. Preferences don't unite the church. Personalities don't unite the church. Only Jesus does that. So why are the names of your pastor, your preferences, and your personalities so important to you? But when Christ becomes the main thing again. The sides disappear. Comparison fades. Pride quiets. Unity rises. So let this settle deep today: If Christ stays at the center, division loses its power. And said another way — because we need the reminder — When Christ is truly at the center, we refuse to take sides. DO THIS: Reach out to one believer today — someone outside your usual circle. Send encouragement. Build a bridge where a wall once stood. ASK THIS: Where have preferences quietly replaced Christ as the center? Who do you tend to "follow" more closely than Jesus? Is there a person you need to reconcile with for the sake of unity? PRAY THIS: Jesus, keep me centered on You alone. Quiet my pride, crush my comparisons, and make You the center of everything I follow and everything I love. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Make Room"

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Read more about Project23 and partner with us as we teach every verse of the Bible on video. Our text today is 1 Corinthians 1:4-9. What do you do when you feel like you're slipping spiritually? When your habits wobble… your prayer life dips… or your confidence takes a hit… and you wonder, "Is God tired of me yet?" Paul answers that fear before the Corinthians even think to ask it. He starts with gratitude. I give thanks to my God always for you because of the grace of God that was given you in Christ Jesus, that in every way you were enriched in him in all speech and all knowledge— even as the testimony about Christ was confirmed among you— so that you are not lacking in any gift, as you wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will sustain you to the end, guiltless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. — 1 Corinthians 1:4-9 Paul sees their future before he addresses their failures. He knows what's coming in this letter: division, immorality, lawsuits, confusion, and spiritual immaturity. But he doesn't start with their mess. He starts with grace—the grip of His grace that won't let go. God's grace started this. God's grace sustains this. God's grace will finish this. You're enriched. You're gifted. You're sustained. You're kept guiltless. And none of this hangs on your performance. It hangs on God's faithfulness. When you feel shaky… His grip stands steady. When you feel weak… the grip of His grace that won't let go holds you tight. If you belong to Jesus, He's not letting go—ever. DO THIS: Say this out loud today: "God will sustain me to the end." Repeat it until it sinks deeper than your doubt. ASK THIS: Where do you feel spiritually "weak" right now? How does knowing God will sustain you change your confidence today? What gift or grace has God given you that you've forgotten to use? PRAY THIS: Jesus, thank You for holding me with a grace that refuses to let go. Give me strength, confidence, and faith for today. Amen. PLAY THIS: "He Will Hold Me Fast"
And every believer needs to remember… that no one is better than the other… regardless of what the world may think or say or what kind of achievements someone has… Here Paul reminds us that the cross unites all believers together Because it levels the playing field - The cross draws a clear line between the church and the world. But here we see how it erases the lines inside the church. I believe Paul is speaking to two groups in the church. To those who think they are nothing… this is encouragement. God chose you. God sees you. God uses people just like you. Your weakness is not a problem. Your lack of status is not a disadvantage. Paul says God chose the foolish, the weak, the low, and the despised. On purpose. And to other group, those who think they are something… this is a humbling reminder. The cross is the great equalizer.

The post 1 Corinthians – The Apostle Paul and the Corinthian Church appeared first on Grace Bible Church.
Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Read more about Project23 and partner with us as we teach every verse of the Bible on video. Our text today is 1 Corinthians 1:1-3. Have you ever forgotten who you are? Not your name. Your identity. The core of who God says you are. Because life has a way of chipping at that, doesn't it? One comment from someone who doesn't really know you… One failure you can't stop replaying… One season where you feel more worn out than useful… And suddenly you're questioning everything. That's exactly why Paul opens this letter the way he does. He doesn't start with correction. He starts with identity. Paul, called by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus, and our brother Sosthenes, To the church of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints together with all those who in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. — 1 Corinthians 1:1–3 Corinth was a moral circus. A city where everything was loud, proud, fast, and compromised. But Paul looks straight at this messy church and says, You're God's people. You're sanctified. You're called saints. Not because they earned it. Not because their behavior proved it. Because Jesus did the work and placed His name on them. And here's the takeaway for you today: Culture doesn't get to name you. Christ already did. You are: Sanctified — set apart by God. Called — chosen for His purposes. Blessed — grace and peace belong to you. Paul says all that before addressing a single issue… because identity always comes before behavior. When you remember who you are, you start living like who you are. DO THIS: Speak your identity out loud today. "I am sanctified in Christ and called by God." Say it before you walk into work… before you see your family… before you face that thing that makes you doubt yourself. ASK THIS: Where have you let the culture tell you who you are instead of Christ? What false label do you need to lay down today? How would your decisions change if you fully lived like a "called saint"? PRAY THIS: Jesus, remind me today who I am in You. Strip away every false label and anchor my heart in Your grace. Amen.

Today we are continuing our study in Ephesians chapter 5. Right at thebeginning of this chapter, we are told to “be imitators of God as dearchildren.” As believers, we are called to put off the old man—to put offbitterness, anger, and wrath—and to stop living the way we lived before webecame followers of Jesus Christ. Then Paul gives us this clear admonition:“Walk in love.” Myfriend, as I have been thinking about this, I couldn't help but reflect on thetruth that when we walk in love, we are walking with God. Remember in 1John chapter 4, at least twice—in verse 8 and again in verse 15—the ApostleJohn tells us that God is love. One of the great attributes of God is that Heis love. Everything God does flows out of His love and His goodness, becauseGod is love and God is good. Aswe walk in love as imitators of God, as His dear children, we demonstrate tothe world around us that we truly belong to Him. People see that difference—notjust in what we say, but in the purity of our lives and in the love that ismanifested through us. Remember, Scripture tells us to love our enemies and toovercome evil with good. How do we do that? Naturally speaking, when we areoffended or hurt—when someone strikes us—the human response is to strike back,to get even, to retaliate. But my friend, it is just the opposite for someonewho has experienced the love of God. Remember Jesus said in Matthew 5:9, “Blessedare the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.” Romans5:8 tells us: “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while wewere still sinners, Christ died for us.” While we were still sinners—whilewe were alienated from Him, ignoring Him, blaspheming His name—Christ loved us.He died for us. While we were being mean to Him, rejecting Him, spitting in Hisface, and nailing Him to the cross, He loved us. My friend, that is anunfathomable love, an unlimited love, an unselfish love. That is theunconditional love of God, and that is the love God calls us to walk in. Howdo we do that? First, we must personally experience that love through JesusChrist. As we read at the end of Ephesians chapter 4, “forgiving one another,just as God in Christ forgave you.” Because we have been forgiven, we canforgive others. Years ago, I heard something that helped me greatly. My naturalresponse to offense or hurt has often been to get even—to strike back. I didthat as a teenager and as a young person, and even later in life I have hadthoughts I shouldn't have had when I was hurt. But my friend, our response isnot based on how we feel—it is based on what we have experienced in Christ. Thelove God speaks of here is agape love—God's love. It is not something wemanufacture. God is love, and He has an endless reservoir of love. When I amoffended or hurt, when I am tempted to respond in an unchristlike way, Ipicture reaching into God's reservoir of love. I don't give someone my love,because I don't have it. I give them God's love. I respond with kindness,forgiveness, and goodness. I have had people tell me that I'm being a hypocriteif I'm being nice and kind to someone when I don't feel like it. My response is,“No, I'm not being a hypocrite, I am being a Christian. AsScripture says, “Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.”(Romans 12:21). There is joy in doing that, because we are abiding in His love.Please read 1 John 4:14-19! 1Corinthians 13 tells us that love is not a feeling. It's an action that comesfrom walking with God in His love. Read 1 Corinthians 13 that gives us a description of God's agapelove. MayGod help us to practice this. As Paul points out here in Ephesians 5:2, we areto walk in love. How do you do that? One step at a time, everyminute of every day, when you are walking with God, you are walking in Hislove. And my friend, His love will be manifest through you to a world around usthat desperately needs to know that love.

God is a God of healing. He can restore you from your old past life of sin. He can take away your guilt, shame, and condemnation. He can make you new and full of joy. All you have to do is come before Him and ask. He's waiting to make a change in your life that you won't regret. What's stopping you from asking? You can be filled with The Holy Spirit and have your joy restored. God can grant peace in your soul and make what has happened in the past as if it never did. In today's message, Pastor Mark will point you to where you can experience that healing. It's not money. It's not relationships with people. It's not material. It's God.

Out of all things He could've prayed for, for believers of all time…before He goes to the cross…out of all things…He prays for their UNITY. You think it's important, church? Jesus prays that our unity, as believers, will be like that of Him and the Father and the Holy Spirit…that our unity will reflect the Trinity itself! Why…so that the world will see that and know that He is REAL! And find that love attractive! And want to be a part of that! And the negative implication is that as Christ's body on earth, if we will not be unified in love…we make Christ to be INVISIBLE…to a world that so desperately needs to SEE Him. That's what's at stake. Without unity in the church, we have no evidence that the gospel we are offering has done anything in our lives…the foundation of our evangelism is based on UNITY.
