1st Corinthians

Pt 25 Bought With A Price

Pt 25 BOUGHT WITH A PRICE Purchased 1 Corinthians 6:20 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s. It had been a year now, she had been working and saving for a year. She was promised that if she saved enough, she could go and choose the one she wanted, bring it home and care for it. It would not be just the price of the purchase that…

Pt 24 BELONG

Pt 24 Belong 1 Corinthians 6:12–20 12 All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.  13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. 14 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us…

Pt 23 And Such Were Some Of You

And such were some of you! Paul describes but some of the sins by which we were once all identified, “but ye are washed”. What wonder to know that such has been washed away through the blood of Christ. “But ye are sanctified”, how it is that now we stand before God clothed in the righteousness of Christ. “But ye are justified”, even the thought that our sins are paid for in full fill us with wonder. “And such were…

Pt 22: Faulty Witness

A faulty witness misrepresents the person to whom they are aligned when their representation does not align. Christians seeking justice from the unjust fail to understand the witness in which they witness.

Pt 21: Shun False Brethren

“…not to company…”, today few can identify what sin is let alone be willing to shun the man who claims to be a brother doing evil. The Church is charged to “put away from among yourselves that wicked person”. Paul here testifying that the individual who ‘calls himself a brother’ (1 Cor 5:11), is false, indeed a “wicked person” (v13). Our Church has seen much of this in the last two years, the Pastor has witnessed much more. Most tragic of all is that which comes from what was believed to be a faithful man, a man who betrays the Character of Christ, not in open sin, but in judgement, hypocrisy and wilful ignorance. The Laodicean Church will continue to develop until the return of the Lord, for it will not call sin and sin, and it will not deal with sinners nor have any respect for those who do. Those who justify evil condemn that which is good. Shun false brethren, be not caught up in their sin (see Numbers 16)

Pt20: A Little Leaven

We live in a time when any mention of sin is turned away from in modern Churches. When this happens it is inevitable that it will inevitably permeate the entire Church, all it takes is a little leaven, a little sin and it acts like yeast in bread to corrupt the whole. Tragically, when that which is evil (sinful) becomes tolerated in a place where the desire is toward all that is good (holy), it does not take long before it is justified, when sin is justified then all which might condemn it as evil becomes considered at evil. Suddenly, Isiah 5:20 becomes the reality in the Church. Evil is seen as good, good is seen as evil. If this becomes the common state of the Church (and it is), what then becomes of the world?

The Disciples Examination

The Disciples Examination 1 Corinthians 4:14–21 14 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you. 15 For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.  16 Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.  17 For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance…

That Every Man Have Praise

When both Love and Fear of the Lord both motivates and cautions us in all we do, that every man have praise of him, confidence will reign.

Pt 16: Seek The Wisdom of God Alone

Pt 16 Wisdom Is Of God Alone 1 Corinthians 3:16-23 16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, whichtemple ye are.  18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is…
