8.24.2025 - Christian Living - How to Be Free and a Servant - 1 Cor. 9 1-23 by Anacostia River Church
Lutheran Preaching and Teaching from St. John Random Lake, Wisconsin
August 30, 2025
In this sermon, Pastor Nick Allen addresses the controversial passage in 1 Corinthians 11 regarding head coverings in church. He explains that while Paul commends the Corinthians for following this tradition, the underlying principle is more important than the cultural practice itself. The sermon explores how the passage teaches about God-ordained roles in marriage, with the husband as the head of the wife, just as Christ is the head of the church. Pastor Allen emphasizes that these roles don't indicate inequality in worth or value, but rather reflect complementary functions designed by God to display the gospel. He concludes that while modern Western Christians aren't required to follow the specific cultural practice of head coverings, we should still honor the principles of gender distinction, modesty, and proper roles within marriage and the church.
Send us a textEpisode Notes: In this episode, we step into the final chapter of 1 Corinthians, where Paul turns to a very practical subject: Money. If that makes you a little uncomfortable — you're not alone! But Paul shows us that how we handle money is deeply connected to our discipleship.In just four verses, he lays out a Spirit-inspired pattern for giving that still speaks powerfully today.Key TakeawaysGiving is for everyonePaul says, “each one of you” — no exemptions.It's not about equal amounts but equal commitment.Giving should be regular“On the first day of every week…”Generosity isn't an afterthought — it's an act of worship woven into the rhythm of our lives.Giving is proportional“…in keeping with your income.”The more God has blessed you, the more you're called to give.Giving must be handled with integrityPaul insists on accountability.Transparency protects both the church and the giver.ApplicationPaul's message is simple: you need a plan.Not just a vague idea, not a last-minute gift under pressure — but a thoughtful, regular, intentional plan for how you give.Start somewhere, even if it's small.Build generosity into your financial rhythm.Remember: giving isn't really about money — it's about living with a posture of generosity in light of resurrection hope.EncouragementBecause Christ is risen, our giving isn't in vain. Every act of generosity, every gift sown, is an investment in eternity.We live with resurrection hope. We serve with resurrection power. We give with resurrection generosity.Support the showTo listen to my monthly church history podcast, subscribe at; https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com For an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com
Send us a textIt began with a doubt in the Corinthian church — is there really a resurrection of the dead? That doubt spread into denial, and eventually divided the believers. So, they turned to Paul, and his sweeping answer in 1 Corinthians 15 leaves no room for uncertainty:Christ is risen — and because He lives, all who belong to Him will also rise.Our perishable bodies cannot inherit eternity — but in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, we will be changed.The rapture is coming — whether raised from the grave or transformed while living, every believer will receive the perfect, glorified body that no diet, gym, or surgery could ever produce.Death is defeated — its sting removed through Christ's victory at the cross and empty tomb.Paul closes with both encouragement and challenge: “Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labour in the Lord is not in vain.” (v. 58)This episode explores the mystery, the triumph, and the hope of the resurrection — and why it should move us to godly living, courageous faith, and overflowing service for Christ.Support the showTo listen to my monthly church history podcast, subscribe at; https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com For an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com
Send us a textEpisode Notes: When we talk about proving the resurrection, we usually reach for the familiar arguments — the authority of Scripture, the empty tomb, the eyewitnesses. Those are strong, solid, and true. But in 1 Corinthians 15, Paul takes an unexpected path.In this message, we explore three of Paul's strange but powerful arguments for the resurrection — ones you won't often hear in an apologetics book, but that cut straight to how we live, who we walk with, and what we're willing to risk for Christ.Paul's logic is simple but searching: if there is no resurrection, then why endure suffering, why pursue holiness, why sacrifice for the gospel? But if there is a resurrection — and there is — then everything changes.Belief in the resurrection isn't just about proving a point — it's about shaping a life.Because if Christ is risen, then living for Him is not only worth it — it's the only thing that makes sense.Support the showTo listen to my monthly church history podcast, subscribe at; https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com For an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com

Send us a textIn this episode, Pastor Dom teaches us what it means to take communion in an unworthy manner. Communion: un-Worthy Manner1 Corinthians 11:26-3026 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death till He comes. 27 Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29 For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. 30 For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep.1 John 4:20-2120 If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? 21 And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also.James 3:16 16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.John 10:10 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. Ephesians 4:27. 27 nor give place to the devil.1 Corinthians 14:3333 For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.Proverbs 13:1010 By pride comes nothing but strife,Proverbs 20:33 It is to one's honor to avoid strife,1 Corinthians 12:27.27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.Colossians 1:2424 I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of His body, which is the church,

Discover how to navigate Christian liberty with wisdom and love in this exploration of 1 Corinthians 10:23-33. Paul addresses the Corinthians' claim that 'all things are lawful' by showing that while God created everything good, things become sinful when misused.

This message unpacks practical guidelines for Christians facing cultural dilemmas, like how to handle food sacrificed to idols in the first century or similar gray areas today. Understand the ultimate filter for all decisions: 'Whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.' Explore the distinction between harmful people-pleasing motivated by pride and godly accommodation motivated by removing unnecessary barriers to the gospel. This teaching provides biblical wisdom for Christians struggling with questions about entertainment choices, social media use, alcohol consumption, and other areas where Scripture doesn't give explicit commands. Perfect for believers wanting to honor God in everyday decisions while loving others well.

Send us a textHi. When the Apostle Paul wrote 1 Corinthians 15, he tackled one of the biggest—and most hotly debated—questions in the Christian faith: What really happens after we die? For the Corinthians, the issue wasn't whether Jesus rose from the dead—they believed that. The problem was the resurrection of our bodies. Many thought it was impossible, undesirable, or downright absurd.In this episode, we explore:Why the Old Testament often paints such a bleak picture of life after death (and where it offers surprising glimmers of hope).How Jewish and Greek worldviews shaped the Corinthians' confusion about resurrection.Paul's radically different vision: that in Christ, you will still be you, body and soul—made new, whole, and fit for eternity.Why the Christian hope is not the “basic model” of resurrection, but the “deluxe package” paid for in full by Jesus.With a mix of history and Scripture, we'll see that Paul's teaching isn't just about winning theological arguments—it's about living today with the confidence that your future in Christ is secure, physical, and unimaginably glorious.Key Scriptures:1 Corinthians 15:1–11Psalms 6:5; 30:9; 88:10–12; 16:9–11; 73:24Isaiah 38:18Ecclesiastes 9:4–5, 10Job 19:25–27So, listen if you've ever wondered:Will I be “me” in heaven?Why do Christians believe in a physical resurrection?What happens to my body after I die?How do ancient Jewish and Greek ideas still shape how people think about death today?Support the showTo listen to my monthly church history podcast, subscribe at; https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com For an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com
In this week's message from our “In Context” series, we tackle the widely misunderstood phrase, “God will never give you more than you can handle,” and uncover the true meaning behind 1 Corinthians 10:13. By exploring the biblical stories Paul references and examining the real struggles of God's people, we discover that this verse isn't about avoiding hardship, but about God's faithfulness to provide a “way of escape” in every temptation. Learn how Scripture calls us to endurance, gratitude, wise planning, and trust in God's power—rather than relying on our own strength. If you've ever felt overwhelmed or wondered how to overcome life's toughest temptations, this message will hopefully equip and encourage you with the truth of God's Word in its proper context.
What is the motive of your heart behind how you look and present yourself?
Send us a textWelcome back to the podcast! In this episode, we're stepping into the closing section of 1 Corinthians 14 to tackle a challenging but essential topic: order in the church. From ancient Corinth to our modern congregations, the same struggles show up — division, misuse of spiritual gifts, and confusion about worship. We'll unpack why God calls His people to worship in a way that builds up the whole body, explore what Paul means about tongues, prophecy, and even that controversial instruction about women in the assembly, and see how it all fits within the bigger picture of unity and love. This isn't about personal preference — it's about submitting to the wisdom of God's Word and pursuing the kind of worship that truly honours Him.

How obvious is it that Christ is the authority in your life?
Send us a textFew topics in the church spark as much debate as the gifts of the Spirit, and particularly that of speaking in tongues. Is it a private prayer language? A sign of the Holy Spirit's baptism? A tool for evangelism? Or something else entirely?In this episode, I try and go beyond traditions and opinions to see what the Bible says. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 14 and the prophecy of Isaiah 28, we explore the original, God-given purpose of tongues — and why using them outside that purpose can confuse rather than build up.We'll see how Paul contrasts tongues with prophecy, why clarity matters in the gathered church, and how Spirit-led teaching can bring conviction, revelation, and worship. And along the way, we'll discover that tongues aren't about spiritual showmanship, but about God's unstoppable desire to make His message heard — in every language, to every heart.Key Scripture: 1 Corinthians 14:20–25 Main Takeaway: God's gifts work best when they are used in God's way — to build up the church and make His presence unmistakable.Support the showTo listen to my monthly church history podcast, subscribe at; https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com For an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com

Send us a textWelcomeWelcome back to the podcast! In this episode, we're diving back into our series on 1 Corinthians, picking up where we left off in Chapter 12.Paul's letter to the Corinthian church is more than just a theological discussion; it's a practical guide for how believers should function as a unified body. The Corinthians were struggling with the use of spiritual gifts, especially the gift of tongues, and Paul's response gives us a foundational understanding of the church, unity, and the diverse roles we all play.Today, we'll explore Paul's powerful metaphor of the church as a human body. We'll see how unity and diversity aren't opposites, but are designed by God to work together. We'll also tackle some big questions, including what the Bible says about the baptism of the Holy Spirit and whether all believers should speak in tongues.Join us as we uncover the value of every member of Christ's body and celebrating the unique, God-given variety that makes the church alive and whole.Episode NotesThis episode covers 1 Corinthians 12:1-10 and explores the core teachings on the body of Christ and spiritual gifts.Key Takeaways:The Church as a Body: Unity and Diversity: The Baptism of the Holy Spirit: Seeking Spiritual Gifts: Tongues in Context: Love as the "Most Excellent Way": Discussion Questions:How has the metaphor of the church as a body changed your perspective on your own role within your faith community?Paul argues that every part of the body is necessary, even those that seem weaker or less visible. Can you identify an example of a "hidden" role in your church that is vital but often goes unnoticed?Paul ranks certain gifts as "greater" because they build up the church more effectively. What do you think are the most important gifts needed in the church today, and why?Support the showTo listen to my monthly church history podcast, subscribe at; https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com For an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com
