1 Corinthians

  • Paul is thankful to God for Jesus; Jesus keeps us strong to the end
  • Paul l earns of problems and arguments in the church; who each group say they follow: Paul, Apollos, Christ - Christ should be the answer (Paul & Apollos aren't important)
  • Paul came to teach nervous and trembling so you'd know it was God's wisdom through the Spirit
  • Spirit - inner knowing (only the Spirit knows the deep secrets of God); we really can know God through the Spirit
    • Only our inner spirit knows our inner thoughts; Spirit teaches us
  • Not spiritual if quarreling; talked to like babies without the Spirit
  • Paul planted seed; Apollos waters it; Only God makes it grow (God important; not Paul or Apollos)
  • Paul & Apollos are God's workers, will be rewarded, but not important
  • Wisdom of the world is foolishness to God
  • Apostles serve Christ and feel las in the world
  • Don't associate with believers who cheat, sin sexually, are greed, abuse or worship idols; don't want evil among you, but it will be in the world in non-believers because to avoid them you'd have to leave the world
  • Solve problems among believers in the church, not in court
  • We can do all tings, but not all things are good for us
  • Your body is connected with Christ, do don't sin sexually to sin against your own body
  • Your body is a temple
  • God says no divorce, please your husband/wife
  • Paul says single is better unless you are too overcome with sexual desire
  • Don't cause another believer to do something they think is wrong because you think it is okay (i.e. eating meat)
  • Learn from Israel's past
  • God will give you a way out when tempted
  • Do what is good for the most people, not just yourself
  • Woman came from man and for man
  • Wait for each other to eat in the church; dot use it to display your abundance; if you're really hungry, eat at home to avoid judgement
  • Spirit gives different gifts to different people
  • Out gifts are like part of 1 body, all needed, important and working together for God
  • I am nothing without love
  • Out gifts will end; they are not perfect
  • Faith, hope and love continue forever, love is the greatest
  • You should want spiritual gits, especially prophecy for it helps the church grow stronger
  • Speaking in languages isn't useful if people don't understand, use only if there's an interpreter
  • Women shouldn't speak at church, but ask their husbands at hoe
  • Christ was human and raised from the dead so humans can be raised from the dead
  • If we aren't raised from the dead, there isn't much to live for
  • Earthly body and heavenly body
  • Work for God is never wasted
  • Be strong in faith and have courage
