Hello! Thank you for joining us again on Into the Pray . I'll be returning to Hamlet’s soliloquy next week. Suffice to say for this 33rd episode in 1 Corinthians, we now broach one of the most important theological errors of our day:- "progressive" "christian" liberalism. What of head coverings? Are egalitarians correct when they maintain that there is no longer male and f...

Hello! Thank you all for listening to this podcast and for sharing to your networks. Today on City of Temples (our study through 1 Corinthians) we come to chapter 11 verse 1 and Paul's earnest longing for the Corinthians to imitate him just as he imitated Jesus.

Hello! Thank you all very much for listening to this podcast! In this 29th episode of our meandering teaching series/walk through the city of Corinth, taking the weight off our feet, we come to a moment of quiet reflection by stopping to sit on a stone wall in the warmth of the Greek sunshine and to draw some water from a well we've been welcomed to use.
