Provide an overview and background on the Bible book of First Corinthians.
The City of Corinth
Big city, lots of trade, famous for moral decadence
55CE Paul wrote - address needed matters
3rd missionary tour - Efesus - disturbing reports from Corinth
Second missionary tour - cong formed
1-4 = Unity
1:10 - no divisions, same mind and line of thought
So important! Satan = divide and conquer.
1:18-30 = seen as foolish, weak, insignificant
Good??
The Greeks at the time had Plato and Aristotle & Socrates.
But the humble have godly wisdom.
Making man look foolish.
Jeh drawn us not background, skills, financial status, articulate, popular / willing to love him & listen to him
We're nothing world's eyes. Are we nothing?
We are kingdom evanliagers
4:7 - What do you have that you did not receive?
Humility :red_flag:
Give good talk/comment/demo - start to feel good...
Coffee thank? - mug/person making it
5-6 = Morally clean
5 - sexually immoral, drunkards, relievers - removed :warning:
7 - Marriage & Singleness
7:38 -whoever marries does well, but whoever does not marry will do better.
Single Christians (...) generally have more freedom. For example, some are able to expand their ministry in interesting ways. Above all, they can spend more time drawing close to Jehovah.
Fine examples of that here.
Look down :red_cross:
8-10: Spiritual welfare of others
READ
8:1: Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
Forklift - knowledge, higher. Love needs to be heavier counterbalances. If not, topple
School = Increase in Knowledge
:fire: Love more! topple..
.
New cong - culture = stumbled
9:13 - Jews I became a jew (ADAPTABLE)
Solid, liquid or gas? Stay the same, give up or adapt?
11-14: Congregational order 11: Direction for Lord's evening meal & head coverings
12: Likens congregation to human body
Everything useful!
Overseer OR UBP = valuable :star:
13: LOVE is...
Gift from love / individually wrapped.
New assignment - not feeling great / grouchy / unhappy
Read 1 cor 13. Which aspect of love lacking?
As per of the facet of the diamond maybe had a little chip?
Cut diamond must use something equal or stronger. Another diamond
One thing stronger than human love - Jeh's love
We can't change our heart / Jehovah can
14: cong meetings - harmonious & orderly
15: Importance of Jesus resurrection
Certainty! No resurrection = nothing
15:7 - Jesus appeared to James THEN disciples
Love & Forgivness! James = out of mind!
US? Grudge - get rid of it
David Splaine - Grudge? Leave it, cleaners will pick it up - worthless
15:55 - “Death, where is your victory? Death, where is your sting?
Sting of bee - hurts
Over time, bad memory.. eventually, forgotten
Look back, resurrected - where is your sting?
16 - concluding comments
Lovely way to end...
READ

EVERYTHING
