The way we spend our time reveals our true priorities, regardless of what we claim to value. Jesse Cope challenges listeners to examine their daily time allocation and consider what it says about their genuine priorities. Do we claim to love our children but never engage with them meaningfully? Do we profess devotion to our spouses while failing to make time for them? Most critically, do we declare faith important while avoiding prayer, Bible reading, and worship?Our foundation must be built on Jesus Christ alone. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 3, Jesse emphasizes that everything we construct in our lives must connect back to Christ. When facing challenges in our marriages, families, churches, or communities, the solution remains consistent: return to biblical principles. Though some argue certain scriptural teachings no longer apply in modern society, this selective approach creates dangerous precedents.The podcast explores America's historical foundation through the lens of revolutionary courage. Colonial leaders coordinated resistance to tyranny knowing their actions could be deemed treasonous. Yet they considered "life a trivial stake in competition with liberty." This profound commitment raises challenging questions for us today: What are we willing to risk for freedom and faith? Are we prepared to stand against cultural trends undermining biblical truth?Jesse honors forgotten Medal of Honor recipients whose sacrifices deserve greater recognition than celebrities receive. He suggests that our current cultural moment represents another "rendezvous with destiny" requiring similar courage and conviction. As we face mounting challenges to liberty, our greatest hope remains turning back to God and realigning our use of time with our professed values.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

In this lecture, Don Carson discusses 1 Corinthians 3, highlighting the Apostle Paul's warning against factionalism and emphasizing that Christian leaders are servants of God. The church is portrayed as God's temple, where believers are accountable for how it is treated, and Christian work will be tested by fire. Carson urges believers to value the church's eternal significance, live in unity, and honor the body of Christ with gratitude and reverence.He teaches the following:How 1 Corinthians 3 has been used to teach a unbiblical doctrinesA common evangelical interpretation of the passage divides humanity into natural, carnal, and spiritual menChristian leaders are mere servants whose only allegiance should be to GodThe foundation of the church is Jesus Christ, and leaders must build on this with materials that endureFactionalists ignore the wealth of the Christian heritage, focusing on individual leadersThe church is a functioning body animated by God's SpiritWhy the church is the only significant institution with eternal significanceWhy Christians should live with profound gratitude and love for the church

“The blood, the soil, the faith These words you can't forget Your vow, your holy place O love, aren't you tired yet?”—Leonard Cohen 1 Corinthians 3:4-8a
“I planted the seed in your hearts, and Apollos watered it, but it was God who made it grow. It’s not important who does the planting, or who does the watering. What’s important is that God makes the seed grow. The one who plants and the one who waters work together with the same purpose. And both will be rewarded for their own hard work.” (1 Corinthians 3:6–8 NLT) In the process of preaching the gospel, every Christian plays a part. Some of us sow seeds. Others water seeds that have already been sown. And still others have the privilege of reaping the seeds that have already been sown and watered. In 1 Corinthians 3, the apostle Paul addressed a problem that was causing divisions among the believers in Corinth. Some Christians there were identifying themselves as followers of him, Paul. Others were identifying themselves as followers of Apollos. And still others were identifying themselves as followers of Peter. These believers thought that their allegiance to a particular leader made them morally and spiritually superior to their fellow Christians. In his response to this burgeoning cult of personality, Paul gives us an important glimpse into the nature of evangelism. Look what he says in verses 6–7: “I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase” (NKJV). Paul made it clear that he and Apollos (and Peter) were simply laborers, planting and nurturing the seeds of the gospel. God was the one who made the seeds grow. Therefore, He was the One the people needed to follow. But the principle of sowing seeds and trusting God to make them grow still applies today. Sharing our faith with others is a personal investment. It often involves opening up about private matters and making ourselves vulnerable to rejection. It’s only natural that we’d want to see dividends from our investment—to see the seed we planted sprout and grow before our very eyes. But that doesn’t always happen. And sometimes if we don’t see immediate results, we grow frustrated. We question whether the seed has taken root. We wonder why God isn’t blessing our efforts. But remain steadfast, Christian. God is trustworthy. The seed that we sow today may not be reaped in our lifetime. It may grow after we’re in Heaven. That may be when the nonbeliever that we loved, nurtured, and shared the gospel with will come to faith. Then again, that nonbeliever might come to faith tomorrow. The timing is out of our hands. As Paul made clear to the believers in Corinth, it doesn’t matter who sows or waters the seeds of the gospel, as long as the work is being done. That’s not where the credit goes. The credit goes to the One who makes the seeds grow. Our responsibility is to sow the seed of the gospel in as many lives as possible and then leave the results to God.

Every time you read a verse that says “But God,” it is great news that follows. When those two small one-syllable words team up, extraordinary things happen. To the left of ‘But God' in the Bible appears some of the worst human atrocities, characterized by disobedience, rebellion, hopelessness, darkness, and death. But to the right of the words ‘But God,' readers of scripture will find hope, light, life and new beginnings. We have all said some things are impossible. But Got says all things are possible. Join us in this 8-week study as we examine some of the most famous “but God” statements found in His word!
This week, we continue our series on 1 Corinthians. Join us as we learn that how we live reveals what we truly believe, and that what we believe about God shapes everything about us.

The growth of God's people does not come from human effort or worldly wisdom, but through God who gives the increase. Pastor Wesley Welch walks through 1 Corinthians 3, emphasizing that while leaders may plant or water, it is ultimately God who causes growth. Paul challenges the church to rise above divisions and immaturity, recognizing that we are God's field, God's building. In a world obsessed with status and success, the church is called to build on the only true foundation: Jesus Christ. We are called to labor with an eternal perspective as God's fellow workers.
05/18/25: Milk to Meat: 1 Corinthians 3speaker Drew Deon
Paul tells the church in Corinth that he was not able to speak to the Corinthian church as those who were mature in Christ, but as those who were immature and unable to process deeper truths, for envy, strife, and disunity are abundant among them. In humility, Paul tells the Corinthian church that he is nothing but servant, and that the glory for growth within believers goes to God alone. While a church is not, in fact, a building, Paul compares the people of God to a building, saying that their foundation is Christ and that there will be others who come to build upon that foundation. Therefore, no one should boast in human leaders, but in Christ, to whom we belong. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Saints are called to build their lives on the foundation of Christ with eternal wisdom, recognizing that all things belong to God and that true wisdom is found in Him alone.
This week at Renewal Church, we begin an exciting new series of talks on missions, starting with a message from Pastor Mark Chun on church planting. In this sermon, Pastor Mark reminds us of the importance of the local church and church planting and shares some of the hallmarks of a church built the proper way, on the foundation of Christ.
Rejecting Man Centered Wisdom - 1 Corinthians 3: 18-23
POWER FOR TODAY is intended to equip the believers with the supernatural dimension of God, through the teaching of the unadulterated word of God
Judges 9-10; Psalms 62-64; 1 Corinthians 3-4
In the church, we are constantly reminded that our identity is found in Christ alone. What does it look like to live this out practically? Other questions we explore: How have we (or people we know) lived in ways that the world may view as foolish? What difference does it make to us that our commendation comes from God? Additionally, we learn how to properly pronounce "legume."
Our hearts are quick to look for belonging and significance in things of the world. Paul reminds us in this passage that we receive our commendation from God alone because we belong to Christ.

Saints are called to build their lives on the foundation of Christ with eternal wisdom, recognizing that all things belong to God and that true wisdom is found in Him alone.
Spiritual growth is hindered when carnal saints allow division and immaturity, as true kingdom work is not about human leaders but about God, who gives the growth.
This week, we take some time to unpack the big themes that Paul focuses on in 1 Corinthians 3. What does the milk vs. solid food analogy really mean? How can we view the idea of the rewards we receive as Christians? While we don't come to full understanding of these topics, the images Paul provides give us a glimpse of how God is at work.
Paul uses a variety of pictures to help communicate truth to his readers. All of these pictures point back to the profound truth of the gospel and the unity we are meant to have as those who belong to Christ.
