In 1 Corinthians 9:1–14, Paul continues his teaching on Christian freedom by using himself as an example. Though he has every right to receive financial support for his ministry, he willingly surrenders that right for the sake of the gospel, demonstrating how his freedom is governed by Christ and a love for others.

In 1 Corinthians 8:1–13, Paul reminds us that our freedom in Christ is real, but it must always be governed by love for others. Because Christ has loved us and given himself for us, we are called to use our freedom not merely for our own benefit, but to lovingly serve and build up one another.

In 1 Corinthians 7:25-40, Paul once again encourages believers, whatever their relationship status, to remain faithful to Jesus where they are, live with undivided devotion to him in this passing world, and exercise their freedom according to his will and wisdom.

In 1 Corinthians 7:17–24, Paul reminds believers that our greatest priority is faithfulness to Jesus, not seeking a different set of circumstances. This doesn't mean we must remain in our circumstances at all costs, but because we belong to Christ, we should seek to faithfully obey him wherever we find ourselves.

In 1 Corinthians 7:10–16, Paul calls us to pursue faithfulness to God and faithfulness to our spouse in the marriage we are in. Believing spouses should pursue permanence and reconciliation, while believers married to unbelievers should remain in faith and, if abandoned, release without guilt. In every circumstance, we rest in Jesus, the faithful Bridegroom who will never leave nor forsake us.

In this text, Paul encourages us to receive both marriage and singleness as good gifts from God and to faithfully steward the life and status he has given us. Rather than seeing one as better than the other, we are called to trust the Lord where we are, honor Christ with our desires, and use our lives for the good of his people and the sake of his Kingdom.

This week in 1 Corinthians 7:1–5, Paul shows us that sex is a good gift from God. Within the covenant of marriage between a husband and a wife, it is meant to be enjoyed with love, mutual care, and consideration. Because we belong to Christ, we are called to use our freedom not selfishly, but in ways that honor him and serve one another.

This week we’re studying 1 Corinthians 6:12–20. Paul reminds us that our freedom, desires, and bodies are not our own—we belong to Jesus, who has united us to himself and bought us with a price. Because we are his, we are called to flee sexual sin and honor him with our bodies.

This week in 1 Corinthians 6:1–11, Paul is shocked by the way the Corinthian church is handling its disputes. Once again, their judgment is unwise, so Paul corrects them by reminding them of their future, the wisdom God has provided, their witness, and their new identity as those who have been washed, sanctified, and justified in Christ. If the gospel has so changed who they are, then it should al...

In 1 Corinthians 3:16–23, Paul continues to confront the division and pride of the Corinthian church by reminding them that they are God’s temple, indwelt by His Spirit, and belong to Christ. Rather than boasting in human leaders or their own wisdom, they are called to protect what God is building, humbly examine themselves, and rejoice in all God has given them in Christ.

In 1 Corinthians 3:5-15, Paul continues to redirect our attention from human leaders to God, reminding us that Christ alone is the foundation, God alone gives the growth, and every believer's ministry will one day be tested by Him.

In 1 Corinthians 3:1–4, Paul confronts the Corinthians' spiritual immaturity, showing that although they are in Christ, their jealousy, strife, and divisions reveal they are living more like the world than like Jesus.

In 1 Corinthians 2:6–16, Paul contrasts the wisdom of this age with the wisdom of God, revealing the source of true wisdom, why the world doesn't understand it, how it comes to us, and how we understand it.

In a city captivated by impressive speakers and human wisdom, Paul deliberately made less of himself so people would make much of Christ. In 1 Corinthians 2:1–5, Paul reminds us how he came, what he proclaimed, and why our faith must rest in the power of God rather than the wisdom of men.

In 1 Corinthians 1:18-31, Paul reminds us that the world dismisses the cross and the preaching of Christ as foolish, yet God uses this very message to save His people and leave no room for human boasting.

The Corinthian church was fractured by division, jealousy, and pride because they were being shaped more by the surrounding culture than by the gospel of Jesus Christ. In 1 Corinthians 1:10–17, Paul reminds us that when we lose sight of Christ, our preferences and pride begin to divide what Jesus died to unite, and that the only cure for fractured relationships is lifting our eyes back to Christ c...

In 1 Corinthians 1:4–9, Paul reminds a struggling church that their hope was never found in their own strength, but in the grace of God that saved them, sustains them, and will one day make them blameless in Christ. These verses call us to rest again in the faithfulness of the God who always finishes what He starts.

We begin our study of 1 Corinthians by looking at verses 1–3. Though the Corinthians belonged to Christ, their lives were shaped more by the world than by the gospel. Yet Paul begins not with condemnation, but with grace, reminding them—and us—who we are and what we are called to be in Christ

In Jonah 4, we hear the heart of an angry prophet and see the heart of a loving God. Through loving discipline and probing questions, God exposes Jonah's heart—a man who is happy to receive grace yet struggles to extend it to others. As the book ends with an unanswered question, we're left to consider not only Jonah's response to God's grace, but our own.

In Jonah 3 , we see God's prophet reluctantly obey, Nineveh humbly repent, and God graciously relent. Together, these events reveal the depth of God's mercy and His purpose to work in His people so He can work through His people to extend that mercy to the world.

We're in Jonah 2 this week where Jonah recognizes God’s sovereign hand behind both the storm and the great fish. In the depths of the sea, Jonah feels the crushing weight of his rebellion, yet it is there that he discovers the depth of God’s mercy and grace. From the bottom, Jonah confesses that salvation belongs to the Lord alone, pointing us to Jesus, the true and better Jonah, who entered t...

Jonah 1:4–17 shows us a reluctant prophet running from God and a merciful God refusing to let him go. While Jonah descends deeper into rebellion, pagan sailors surprisingly ascend in faith and worship. Through the storm, the sea, and the great fish, we discover that Jonah is far more like us than we realize—and that God’s grace is far more relentless than we imagined.
