1Corinthians starts May 1 on the podcast — and I can’t wait! 1Corinthians is one of Paul’s most important letters. In this NEW series, we’ll tackle both the interpretative questions and the issues Paul covers, including: divisions in the church, the place of wisdom, rewards in heaven, church discipline, sexuality in marriage, women’s head coverings, the Lord’s supper, spiritual gifts, and more.

09 1 John 4:7-19 Perfect Love
The apostle John explains why self-sacrificing love is a mark of a
believer. In a nutshell, self-sacrificing love (as exemplified by the
cross) is part of God’s holy character and God is in the process of
giving us His character.
10 1 John 4:20-5:12 These 3 Testify: Water,Blood & Spirit
John tells us genuine believers will confess that Jesus is the Christ —
the Jesus who was confirmed by three witnesses: “water”, “blood” and
“the Spirit.”
11 1 John 5:13-21 Confidence in the Gospel John’s
conclusion is you can have confidence about three things: 1) that you
have eternal LIFE, 2) that your sin cannot jeopardize that LIFE and 3)
that his gospel message is true.
Acts 18
records Paul’s first visit to Corinth. Understanding Paul’s
relationship to the Corinthian church is crucial to understanding his
