The Lord speaks to Paul in a vision, "Do not be afraid. Go on speaking and do not be silent for I am with you!" (Lectionary #295) May 30, 2025 - Cathedral Rectory - Superior, WI Fr. Andrew Ricci - www.studyprayserve.com  

Paul arrives in Corinth and immediately begins to pour out his life in service for the Gospel by earning a living and preaching the Good News. (Lectionary #294) May 29, 2025 - Cathedral Rectory - Superior, WI Fr. Andrew Ricci - www.studyprayserve.com  

"Paul, writing from Ephesus, where he stayed for more than two years... [to] the Christian church at Corinth, which was then the largest town in Greece... It would have been full of a cosmopolitan crowd, and even in those days a byword for immorality." From the introduction. 

Ever notice how background actors never get the credit, but without them, the story falls apart? We live in a world obsessed with platforms, applause, and charisma which means the quiet power of servant leadership is often overlooked. In this weekend's message from 1 Corinthians 4, we'll reframe what it means to lead like Jesus and discover that same isn't bad but faithfulness is always better.

What is “the church”? How are we supposed to know what is right and what is wrong? Do we just feel it out? Do we just do what works for us? Come listen to this incredible study of the book of First Corinthians, as Pastor's Joel & Chase look to see what church really looks like!

2 Corinthians 8:1-15 Intro: “Money” is a commodity; “giving” is bigger and broader than $. Background: Paul is writing to the church in Corinth and uses the church in Macedonia as an example. Titus had started this collection earlier (vs 6) Introduction 00:00 Sermon 36:26 - Pastor Joseph Thomas - Sunday, May 25, 2025

In today's reading, Paul begins a new topic of discussion that will carry us through the next few chapters, and that is the topic of spiritual gifts. In the early church, speaking in another language by the Spirit must have been an incredible and awe-inspiring sight, as indicated in the books of Acts at Pentecost. This gifting was so unique and thrilling that everyone wanted to have that gift. Paul begins to tell the church at Corinth that there are different gifts given to different members of the church so that all might work together as one body for the building of the church to the glory of God. Some gifts are more notable, but this shouldn't mean that other gifts are unimportant or disposable.  :::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

We’ll begin by reviewing what we’ve covered in this class before asking the question, “What happened after Paul sent 1 Corinthians?” Did the church receive his instruction? Did they reject it? How does 2 Corinthians fit in? We’ll take a look at the timeline to understand Paul’s three visits to Corinth and the three epistles he wrote them: 1 Corinthians, the severe letter (now lost), and 2 Corinthians. Then we’ll move through time to see how the church at Corinth continued to develop over the next one hundred years. Lastly, I’ll share some insights I’ve gained as I’ve come to appreciate Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians even more after studying this text so diligently. I hope you will enjoy this final episode of 1 Corinthians in Context. Scriptures covered: 1 Cor 1:10-11; 5:1, 11; 6:1-2, 12, 18; 7:1, 10-11; 8:1; 10:19-20; 11:4-5, 17, 33-34; 12:1; 14:12; 15:12-13; 16:1-2   Listen on Spotify   Listen on Apple Podcasts —— Links —— See all the episodes in this class: 1 Corinthians in Context Check out Sean’s other classes here Get the transcript of this episode Support Restitutio by donating here Join our Restitutio Facebook Group and follow Sean Finnegan on Twitter @RestitutioSF Leave a voice message via SpeakPipe with questions or comments and we may play them out on the air Intro music: Good Vibes by MBB Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported (CC BY-SA 3.0) Free Download / Stream: Music promoted by Audio Library.

Marketplace Entrepreneur for the Kingdom of God • Sunday Service Website: www.PastorTodd.org Please help us fight back and take a stand: www.ToddCoconato.com/give We are in a critical hour where the lines between sacred and secular are blurring—not because we're compromising the Gospel, but because God is invading every sphere of society through His people. The Church is not confined to the four walls of a building. In fact, many of the greatest battles and victories of this generation will not take place in pulpits, but in boardrooms, offices, construction sites, online platforms, and homes. You don't have to be a pulpit preacher to be in full-time ministry. If you're called to the marketplace, then you're on the frontlines of spiritual warfare, influence, and kingdom advancement. 1. Matthew 5:14-16 (NKJV) “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” 2. Colossians 3:23-24 (NKJV) “And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.” 3. Proverbs 13:22 (NKJV) “A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children, but the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous.” 4. Deuteronomy 8:18 (NKJV) “And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.” 5. Acts 18:1-3 (NKJV) “After these things Paul departed from Athens and went to Corinth. And he found a certain Jew named Aquila… with his wife Priscilla… because he was of the same trade, he stayed with them and worked; for by occupation they were tentmakers.” 6. Proverbs 22:29 (NKJV) “Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings; He will not stand before unknown men.” 7. Isaiah 60:1-3 (NKJV) “Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; But the Lord will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you. The Gentiles shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.” 8. Luke 19:13 (NKJV) “So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, ‘Do business till I come.'” 9. 1 Corinthians 12:4-6 (NKJV) “There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all.” 10. Ecclesiastes 11:1-2 (NKJV) “Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days. Give a serving to seven, and also to eight, for you do not know what evil will be on the earth.” 11. Romans 12:6-8 (NKJV) “Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy… or he who gives, with liberality… he who leads, with diligence…” God is raising up Josephs, Daniels, Deborahs, and Esthers in the marketplace—leaders who can manage resources, interpret dreams, influence kings, and save nations. You may not stand in a pulpit, but your calling is no less holy. Your business is a platform for truth, your clients are a mission field, and your profits can fund revival. This is the hour to rise up as a kingdom entrepreneur—set apart, filled with the Spirit, and unashamed of the Gospel in the business world. CCLI: 21943673

Paul continues to write to the church in Corinth concerning sexual ethics, and in today's reading, he writes specifically about situations concerning marriage. In general, men and women are to give themselves to each other, for in marriage one's body is not one's own. If someone is married to an unbeliever, Paul commends that such a person should stay married because he or she may be able to save their spouse through their faithful, daily witness. Paul goes on to tell individuals in the church to be content to live life in whatever situation the Lord assigned when God called them. Finally, Paul spend an extended amount of time discussing matters of singleness and divorce. :::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

In today's chapter, Paul uses a simple but beautiful metaphor as he tells the believers in Corinth that they themselves are Paul's “letter of recommendation.” A chapter-a-day podcast from 2 Corinthians 3. The text version may always be found and shared at tomvanderwell.com.

Summary of Message: “God's People in the City” by Pastor Bryan Hudson, D.Min. This message focuses on God's call for His people to commit to long-term ministry and outreach, especially in the urban context, under the theme “Each One, Reach One.” Drawing from Acts 18, Pastor Hudson reflects on Paul's ministry in Corinth, emphasizing that God told Paul in a vision, “Do not be afraid... for I have many people in this city.” This refers not only to current believers but to those who would be saved. Key scripture Text: Acts18:9, Now the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision, “Do not be afraid, but speak, and do not keep silent; 10 for I am with you, and no one will attack you to hurt you; for I have many people in this city.” 11 And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.  Key Themes: God Knows Who Will Be Saved—We Don't God, in His foreknowledge, knows those who will respond to the gospel. Our responsibility is to share the message with everyone—we are not told who will or won't respond. Romans 8:29–30 outlines the process: foreknown, predestined, called, justified, glorified. The Power and Necessity of the Gospel Romans 1:16: “The gospel is the power of God to salvation.” Programs and outreach are good, but they must be vehicles for presenting the gospel. The Concept of “Locus” as Ministry Focus "Locus" means the central area of activity. Paul's “locus” was preaching and teaching where God sent him, even staying for long periods to build impact. We each must identify our personal ministry locus and stay committed. Faithful Commitment Bears Fruit Ministry impact takes time, consistency, and sometimes suffering. Like Paul, we may face opposition, but God can shift us to nearby, fruitful places (e.g., Paul moved next door when rejected at the synagogue). Being planted and focused leads to long-term results. Salvation Process is God's Work—but Requires Our Obedience God does the calling, justifying, and glorifying. Our job is to preach, share, and position ourselves so others can hear and respond. Don't Be Distracted or Discouraged Ministry requires resilience. Not everyone will receive the message. Even if we don't see results, we may be sowing seeds others will water. Christ Is Our Everything 1 Corinthians 1:30 says Christ becomes our wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. No one can boast—salvation is fully God's work. Final Challenge: Recognize that God has people in your city who haven't heard yet. Be intentional about your focus and committed to your calling. Share the gospel faithfully—through outreach, in relationships, and wherever God places you. Conclusion: The city is full of potential believers waiting to hear. Our role is not to figure out who they are, but to be faithful in sharing, knowing that God will do the work of salvation. As Pastor Hudson put it: “Get a real locus—something you can take to heaven with you.”

"Paul, writing from Ephesus, where he stayed for more than two years... [to] the Christian church at Corinth, which was then the largest town in Greece... It would have been full of a cosmopolitan crowd, and even in those days a byword for immorality." From the introduction. 

When you try to combine the church with the culture, the result is chaos — and the book of 1 Corinthians is proof of that. In this letter, Paul tenderly addresses the church that he planted in Corinth and dives headfirst into its unbridled dysfunction. Through the lens of the gospel, he cuts through the noise and painstakingly tackles their confusion on topics such as division, sexuality, Christian freedom, gender roles, corporate worship, and the resurrection — all of which are relevant pressure points in the modern church today. In a culture that attempts to blur the lines between the worldly and the godly, we too need to remember our calling to be countercultural.

What is “the church”? How are we supposed to know what is right and what is wrong? Do we just feel it out? Do we just do what works for us? Come listen to this incredible study of the book of First Corinthians, as Pastor's Joel & Chase look to see what church really looks like!

1st Corinthians 1:1-31 | The Church in Sin City, Part 1 | 5/18/2025 | Pastor Tony Shen. This week, Pastor Tony Shen begins a new sermon series on the first letter to the Corinthians, examining how God's timeless word spans the millennia showing how we living today experience the same challenging philosophies present in first century Corinth.

“But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” (2 Corinthians 12:9–10 NIV11-GK)

“But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” (2 Corinthians 12:9–10 NIV11-GK)

We’ll begin by surveying what 1 Corinthians tells us about the end times. Then we’ll consider why Paul spent so much time in chapter fifteen making a case for the resurrection of the saints when Christ returns. By examining tomb inscriptions and literary sources you’ll learn about the four major options for the afterlife in the Greco-Roman world: (1) non-existence, (2) ascension to the stars, (3) the Hades myth, and (4) reincarnation. My hope is you’ll come to see how radical and fresh the Judaeo-Christian idea of resurrection was to the people of Corinth and understand why Paul felt the need to expend so much effort convincing them of it. Scriptures covered: 1 Corinthians 1:7-8; 3:12-13; 4:5; 5:5; 6:2-3, 9-10, 14; 11:26; 15:3-8, 12-14, 20-28, 35, 58; 16:22   Listen on Spotify   Listen on Apple Podcasts —— Links —— See all the episodes in this class: 1 Corinthians in Context Check out Sean’s other classes here Get the transcript of this episode Support Restitutio by donating here Join our Restitutio Facebook Group and follow Sean Finnegan on Twitter @RestitutioSF Leave a voice message via SpeakPipe with questions or comments and we may play them out on the air Intro music: Good Vibes by MBB Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported (CC BY-SA 3.0) Free Download / Stream: Music promoted by Audio Library.

The church in Corinth had some messed views about what was permissible, especially where it pertains to sex and morality. Our reading opens with Paul addressing the church on resolving a matter the could fit well on day time talk shows: a man is having sex with his stepmother, and the church isn't doing anything about it. Paul directs the church to execute church discipline, telling them to “hand that one over to Satan” but not so that he might be forever lost, but “so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord.” Paul continues by discouraging the church from internal lawsuits, saying it is better to be wronged and cheated than go to court against a brother. Finally, Paul tells the church to flee sexual immorality. :::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

“Together, we are his house, built on the foundation of the apostles and the prophets. And the cornerstone is Christ Jesus himself. We are carefully joined together in him, becoming a holy temple for the Lord.” (Ephesians 2:20–21 NLT) We’ve reached a point in the church where people are starting to divide over really small things—second-tier and even third-tier issues. And then subdivisions occur. Groups get smaller and smaller as their conditions for acceptance get narrower and narrower. Before long, you find yourself saying, “It’s down to the four of us, and I’m not sure about you other three.” It’s not hard to find things that divide us. They’re low-hanging fruit. When we mistake our personal preferences and opinions for absolute truth, we can justify separating ourselves from just about anyone. It takes a little more effort to find things that unite us. Or to recognize that the things that divide us don’t have to divide us. Instead of automatically separating people into categories of “us” and “them,” we can agree to disagree. We can leave judgment to the Lord. That’s the direction God would have us go. Remember, we’re the body of Christ. We’re meant to work together, with each part playing an important role. You can’t divide a body or separate its parts without doing serious damage to the whole. That’s why the apostle Paul issued this warning to the believers in Rome: “And now I make one more appeal, my dear brothers and sisters. Watch out for people who cause divisions and upset people’s faith by teaching things contrary to what you have been taught. Stay away from them” (Romans 16:17 NLT). It’s not just the teachings that are dangerous; it’s the divisions they cause. It’s also why Paul wrote to the believers in Corinth, “I appeal to you, dear brothers and sisters, by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, to live in harmony with each other. Let there be no divisions in the church. Rather, be of one mind, united in thought and purpose” (1 Corinthians 1:10 NLT). Divisions in the church aren’t just an in-house matter. The implications and damage extend far beyond the church walls. You see, people are watching us. People outside the church. Unbelievers for whom the message of Christ seems almost too good to be true. Changed hearts? Transformed lives? They want to see proof. They want to see us walk the walk. As far as many unbelievers are concerned, Christians are hypocrites until proven otherwise. When they see division in our ranks or hear us attacking one another or questioning the legitimacy of one another’s faith, it only confirms their cynical suspicions. They feel free to ignore our message and dismiss the Good News of Christ. Paul said, “Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace” (Ephesians 4:3 NLT). Make every effort. That doesn’t leave room for half-hearted attempts. God wants us to prioritize unity. Unity among believers isn’t just a matter of getting along with everyone or playing nicely with others; it’s also one of the most powerful testimonies available for showing the life-changing power of Jesus Christ.

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

We're beginning Paul's first letter to the Corinthian church, a congregation that was comprised mostly of Greeks rather than mostly Jews. As we make our way through this letter, you'll realize that in some ways, the Corinthian church was really messed up, but praise the Lord, this give us hope for Christ's local church and our own congregations. Divisions had already begun among the church at Corinth, and some of the division came because believers began attributing themselves to mere men. Paul directs them to boast, not in the teachers they follow, but in Christ and Him crucified. In other words, “let one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”  :::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

In this sermon, John shares with us that Paul transitions in his letter from praise to confrontation. It seems someone has snitched on their behavior in Corinth and there are some factions beginning to surface concerning preachers.

When you try to combine the church with the culture, the result is chaos — and the book of 1 Corinthians is proof of that. In this letter, Paul tenderly addresses the church that he planted in Corinth and dives headfirst into its unbridled dysfunction.

They examine the cultural context of ancient Corinth, unpack Paul's arguments, and reveal how this challenging text ultimately points to the beauty of Jesus and the Gospel.

This week the Torah teachers, Mark Call, Ray Harrison, and Mark Pitrone, welcome a new, 'rounder' table, with the addition of Pete Rambo to the group. And it's a fitting introduction, as they tackle the second letter that Shaul/Paul wrote to the people of Corinth, in an area steeped in paganism, and an assembly fraught with problems. How much 'wresting' of what Paul actually wrote and intended, have we been taught to accept?

The Exodus Way E11 — After Jesus' death, resurrection, and ascension, his followers grew into a movement known simply as “The Way”—a new exodus people delivered from sin and death, following the narrow way of Jesus through the wilderness of our present world and awaiting entry into a promised new creation. The Apostle Paul is a central figure in this movement, commissioned by the risen Jesus to spread the good news of the new exodus to the nations. He planted churches in several Roman cities and wrote letters to congregations of Jewish and Gentile believers. Paul was a Jewish man steeped in Israel's Scriptures, which is why we see him infusing Exodus language and imagery into his letters to the early Church. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore Paul's letters to the churches in Corinth, Galatia, and Rome, discovering how Paul saw the death and resurrection of Jesus, the life of the Christian, and the larger story of creation as a cosmic exodus.View all of our resources for The Exodus Way →CHAPTERSRecap of Where We've Been (0:00-3:01)Exodus Imagery in 1 Corinthians 5 (3:01-14:03)Exodus Language in Galatians (14:03-31:41)The Cosmic Exodus in Romans 8 (31:41-44:33)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.REFERENCED RESOURCESThe Homilies of St. John Chrysostom on the Epistles of St. Paul to the Corinthians by John ChrysostomPaul and His Story: (Re)Interpreting the Exodus Tradition by Sylvia KeesmaatYou can view annotations for this episode—plus our entire library of videos, podcasts, articles, and classes—in the BibleProject app, available for Android and iOS.Check out Tim's extensive collection of recommended books here.SHOW MUSIC“Lilo” by The Field Tapes & Middle School“Loving Someone You Lost” by The Field TapesBibleProject theme song by TENTSSHOW CREDITSProduction of today's episode is by Lindsey Ponder, producer, and Cooper Peltz, managing producer.
