KNOW: Paul gave everything, and sacrificed everything, for the sake of the gospel. We, like Paul, are free in Christ, but we must be willing to sacrifice that freedom so that others may hear without hinderance. DO: Give up your rights so that others may hear and respond to the gospel. I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some. I do it all for the sake of the gospe...

KNOW: Paul utilizes an Old Covenant principle to make a New Covenant point. Those who serve the Lord are allowed to be supported by that service. More importantly, nothing should be allowed to become an obstacle to the proclamation of the gospel. DO: Place no obstacle before the proclamation of the gospel of Jesus Christ. ...but we endure everything rather than put an obstacle in the way of the go...

KNOW: Paul is answering the Corinthian’s questions pertaining to marriage and singleness not with strict rules, but with pastoral advice. Christianity has far less to do with “do’s and don’ts” than it does with adhering to a wise biblical worldview. Singleness is a good condition and not to be despised. Marriage is also good. Situations at hand will often dictate the wisdom related to pursuing eit...

KNOW: We are not our own. God made us and established us in this world. There is no getting around this reality. We do not do it “our way.” We are called to live the life that God has assigned to us, and to be content. We may always fix our eyes on better things to come. DO: Learn the value of Christian contentment. Be at peace with God and with his purpose for your life. Only let each person lead...

MAIN POINT: Both married life and singleness bring with them their own unique challenges, but God in Christ by his Spirit graciously strengthens us for it all. Glorify God, therefore, in both marriage and singleness. Sermon Notes

MAIN POINT: God has given the good gifts of marriage and sexual intimacy within the bond of the marriage covenant; glorify God, therefore, in your right enjoyment of both. Sermon Notes

KNOW: Our union with Christ should make a difference in the way we view our lives and the bodies we inhabit. Both are meant for the Lord. Both were purchased by the Lord. Freedom in Christ is a great gift that should not be utilized to allow sin to dominate our lives. DO: Glorify God through the manner in which you utilize the body he has made for you. You are not your own, for you were bought at...

KNOW: The unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God. Do not be deceived! If you are in Christ you are not who you once were. DO: If you are not in Christ repent and believe the gospel! If you are in Christ thank God daily you are not who you once were and strive to live a righteous life. “...Do not be deceived…” 1 Corinthians 6:9 Sermon Notes

KNOW: We are called to live at peace with each other. The internal struggles that take place in many Christian homes and churches demonstrate how, at times, utterly defeated we already are. It does not have to be this way. DO: Overcome evil with good. As much as it is possible, live at peace with all people. Why not rather suffer wrong? Why not rather be defrauded? But you yourselves wrong and def...

KNOW: Sin within the body of Christ spreads if it is not addressed. At times, sadly, discipline is necessary both to save individuals and to keep the church pure. We are called to pass biblical judgment within the body of Christ. God has reserved judgment for everyone else to himself. DO: Purge the evil from among you. Let Jesus make you new. Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a littl...

I. GUIDES OR FATHERS? (vss. 14-16) II. A MINISTRY OF MULTIPLICATION (vs. 17) III. THE TALKING, POWERLESS TUTORS (vss. 18-21) 1 Corinthians 4: 14-21 Sermon Notes

I. THE PROBLEM OF PRIDE: IT DISTORTS THEIR VISION II. THE CALL TO GOSPEL HUMILITY: A TRANSFORMED VISION III. WE ARE CALLED TO ROOT OUT PRIDE AND REPLACE IT WITH GOSPEL HUMILITY 1 Corinthians 4: 6-13 Sermon Notes

KNOW: Judging is tricky business. Some matters must be judged in the church and in life. Other matters that are less clear are best reserved for the “appointed time.” As it pertains to any final judgments, we are to leave such matters in Christ’s hands. DO: Do not be hasty in judgment. Leave ultimate matters to Jesus. Therefore, do not pronounce judgment before the time, before the Lord comes, who...

KNOW: Paul laid a foundation for the church in Corinth by his teaching, preaching, etc. Others now build upon it. That is how the church works and has always worked. However, the true and abiding foundation of the church is her Savior, Jesus Christ. Those who attempt to build up Christ’s church by any other means will be shown to be deficient. We are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s. DO: Set your lif...

KNOW: The Corinthian believers need to grow up. They were properly trained, with elementary teachings that should have given way to more spiritually in-depth lives. But that has not happened for some of them. Their actions show that their spiritual depth is only ankle deep. The church is like a field or building that must be sown into and built up. It must have a foundation, but it should also hav...

KNOW: Believers have been given the mind of Christ. As such, we are able to understand gospel truths that are hidden from non-believers. The spirit of the world which once ruled in us has been transposed with the Spirit who is from God. DO: Receive the Spirit who is God. Think and act with the mind of Christ. But we have the mind of Christ. - 1 Corinthians 2:16 Sermon Notes
