The Apostle Paul's Personal Practicum on the Practice of Christian Liberty (1 Corinthians 9:1-27)

Monday, January 26, 2026 • Pastor Joe

In last week's study, Paul encouraged the Corinthians to lovingly respect one another's convictions. Did Paul practice what he preached? Chapter 9 is Paul's personal testimony of his practice of Christian liberty.

Christian Liberty in the Balance (1 Corinthians 8:1-13)

Sunday, January 18, 2026 • Pastor Joe

In chapters 8-10, Paul answers a second question posed by the Corinthian church. This question concerned Christian liberty. The specific issue was participation in pagan festivals at which foods offered to idols was served. Were Christians free to participate or not, and what happens if there are different convictions within the church? In his response, Paul provides a balance to Christian liberty.

To Marry or NOT to Marry? That is the Question (1 Corinthians 7:25-40)

Sunday, January 11, 2026 • Pastor Joe

Previously (7:17-24), Paul said that the situational circumstances of one's conversion need not be changed in order for a Believer to be of effective service in God's Kingdom (I.e., if married, stay married. If single, stay single). Paul now applies his principle to a specific situation where a betrothed couple was under pressure to break their "engagement."

The Contextual Significance of a Christian's Calling (1 Corinthians 7:17-24)

Sunday, November 23, 2025 • Pastor Joe

When a wife in Corinth abandoned her marriage in pursuit of higher spirituality, Paul addressed the permanence of marriage (7:10-16). He then broadened his discussion of marriage to address whether or not a new Believer must radically change their situational circumstances to serve in God's Kingdom.

The Permanence of Marriage (1 Corinthians 7:10-16)

Sunday, November 16, 2025 • Pastor Joe

Paul continued answering the questions posed by the Church at Corinth on the topic of marriage, perhaps extrapolating a bit on a situation he addressed previously (and we studied last week).

The Delightful Duty of Marital Sex (1 Corinthians 7:1-9)

Sunday, November 9, 2025 • Pastor Joe

Paul entered the third division of his epistle, one that addressed specific questions from the Church at Corinth (difficulties). This first study introduces a larger dialogue about marriage.

Fleeing the Sexual Revolution (1 Corinthians 6:12-20)

Sunday, November 2, 2025 • Pastor Joe

The Corinthians misunderstood their new freedom in Christ (6:11-12) and justified illegitimate activities using popular slogans from their culture for support. Paul responded to their slogans with sound theology.

The Cringy Case of Christian v. Christian (1 Corinthians 6:1-11)

Sunday, October 26, 2025 • Pastor Joe

As litigious as our culture is, Corinth may have been worse. Apparently, this litigious attitude infiltrated the church and required address by Paul. There are at least three reasons why Christians bringing lawsuits against other Christians in a church is wrong, and ridiculously carnal.

Judging Sin, Part 2 (1 Corinthians 5:9-13)

Sunday, October 19, 2025 • Pastor Joe

Paul continues his discourse on the Church's judgment of sin with a clarifying statement on a misunderstood teaching from a previous letter he had written the church. How far does the church's responsibility to judge and discipline sin extend?

Judging Sin, Part 1 (1 Corinthians 5:1-8)

Sunday, October 12, 2025 • Pastor Joe

Having dealt with church division (ch. 1-4), Paul moves to the second area of concern, disorders (ch. 5-6). The first disorder he addressed was the refusal of the church to confront sin in its midst.

Pastors on Pedestals, Part 2 (1 Corinthians 4:1-21)

Monday, September 29, 2025 • Pastor Joe

Last week, we learned that the church at Corinth was on the verge of division due to internal power struggles which were partially based on the esteeming of church leaders too highly. This begged a question: "What is the proper perspective that a church should have for its leaders?"

The Problem with Pastors on Pedestals (1 Corinthians 3:1-23)

Sunday, September 28, 2025 • Pastor Joe

In the third chapter, Paul mentioned a related cause of the carnal division in Corinth and it had to do with the unwise elevation of church leaders to celebrity status.
