1 Corinthians 3:5–9, Part 2: Fellow Workers of God Are a Single Force in God’s Hand

2026/11/03

Why should Christians resist unduly elevating our leaders or pitting them against each other? Because God uses all leaders as a single means to bless his church.

1 Corinthians 3:5–9, Part 1: God, Not the Seed Sower, Gives Life

2026/10/31

Although Paul’s evangelistic work and Apollos’s ongoing teaching were essential to the Corinthians’ faith, only God could make that faith grow.

1 Corinthians 3:1–4, Part 2: Why Does Paul Warn Christians Against Unbelief?

2026/10/27

Paul sometimes speaks to believers with sobering severity. How does God use warnings like his to keep us walking with Christ until the end?

1 Corinthians 3:1–4, Part 1: Paul’s Stark Warning to Infants in Christ

2026/10/24

The line between a carnal Christian and an unbeliever is a dangerous one. Conduct demonstrates the reality of the new birth — or the lack of it.

1 Corinthians 2:14–16: Why Do Non-Christians Fail to Understand Christians?

2026/10/20

Why does having the Holy Spirit make such a difference in how we judge between wisdom and folly? Only those with the Spirit can see God’s wisdom as true wisdom.

1 Corinthians 2:10–13, Part 4: Paul’s Amazing Claim of Divine Inspiration

2026/10/17

Do you believe that the apostles were spokesmen for God, taught by the Holy Spirit? Paul did. He depended on it for both authority and impact.

1 Corinthians 2:10–13, Part 3: We Cannot Know God’s Mind Without Revelation

2026/10/13

How can anyone hope to understand the ways and wonders of God? Only the Spirit of God, through the words of Scripture, can reveal that truth.

1 Corinthians 2:10–13, Part 2: The Spirit’s Infinite Search into the Depths of God

2026/10/10

Can anyone search the depths of God? The Holy Spirit can — because he himself is God, and he delights in knowing the depth of infinite glory.

1 Corinthians 2:10–13, Part 1: Does Paul Believe in the Trinity?

2026/10/06

How could the Holy Spirit search the infinite depths of God without being infinite himself, yet somehow distinct from the Father and the Son? The Christian God is triune.

1 Corinthians 2:6–10, Part 5: Who Are the Mature?

2026/10/03

Mature believers are not perfect people. But as we grow in discerning good and evil, we better understand and apply the wisdom of God.

1 Corinthians 2:6–10, Part 4: Unimaginable Joy Prepared for Those Who Love God

2026/09/29

The mystery of God’s goodness in Christ exceeds everything we can imagine. We need God himself to reveal it to us.

1 Corinthians 2:6–10, Part 3: Crucifying the Lord of Glory, They Fulfilled the Wisdom of God

2026/09/26

The rulers of this age mistook Jesus, so they crucified him — and ushered him into new glories he shares with his saints.

1 Corinthians 2:6–10, Part 2: Before Time, God Was Planning Our Glory

2026/09/22

When this world fell into sin, God didn’t scramble for a backup plan. He had planned from all eternity to rescue a people through the work of his Son.

1 Corinthians 2:6–10, Part 1: Don’t Be Impressed with the Wisdom and Power of This Age

2026/09/19

Why should we refuse to get sucked in by the empty promises of this world? Because this age is passing away; nothing it offers will eternally satisfy.

1 Corinthians 2:1–5, Part 3: What Is the Demonstration of the Spirit and Power?

2026/09/15

How did Paul demonstrate the power of the Spirit in his ministry? By preaching in weakness, Paul showed a faith that boasts only in Christ crucified.
