Having taken aim at several controversies in the Corinthians church, Paul now takes up the most concerning of them all, namely, some were denying the resurrection.

Paul concludes his section on Spiritual gifts in the church by emphasizing that the gifts of the Spirit should be used to build up the church in an orderly manner.

Paul emphasizes the importance of prophecy as a spiritual gift that should be desired and valued. He explains to the Corinthians how prophecy has the power to build up the church body in more understandable ways than speaking in tongues. Unlike uninterpreted tongues, which benefit only the speaker, prophecy serves the entire community. He highlight…

In possibly the most famous passage in the whole New Testament, Paul urges the Corinthians, who were using spiritual gifts selfishly and for their own benefit, to adopt a radically different approach. He wants them to use spiritual gifts to serve others and not for personal gain, to shift from selfishness to selflessness to mirror Christ's love. He…

Paul longs for the church to use the gifts of the Spirit, given graciously by God, for the unity and upbuilding of the church. He highlights God as a gracious gift giver and the Spirit as the one who exalts the name of Christ. Though there are many different kinds of gifts, they are from the same Spirit and are given for the common good of the body…

As communion became a source of division and inequity at the Corinthian church, Paul reminds the believers of the meaning behind the meal, how Christ has given himself, and how we are to examine our sin as we come to the cross.Kirjoittanut The Hallows Church

Paul recounted Israel's failures from Exodus as a caution and advises believers to exercise their freedom responsibly.…

Paul uses his own life as an example of how as Christ-followers, we can follow the example of Jesus, and be free in Christ while choosing to lay down that freedom out of love for others.Kirjoittanut The Hallows Church

How should the church, God's holy people, respond to sins within the Body? Paul addresses sin openly committed within the Corinthian church and their complacency and urges them to live their new lives in Christ, getting "rid of the old yeast".Kirjoittanut The Hallows Church
