    based on 18 ratings
     | 2,469 views

    How can we be sure that we don’t settle for an evaluation of our life that ultimately won’t hold up?

    Ways That We Judge Wrongly: 1. “He was a good man.” - v. 3a - “judged by you or a human court [day].” - At a funeral, the preacher may give this praise to the agreement of everyone present. That does not settle the matter though, because we as humans do not have the final judgment. - Many ...read more

    Is the "spiritually superior" attitude that the Corinthians had similar to the attitude found in the American church today?

    The Corinthians’ Situation: 1. The Problem: They were living proudly in their spiritual superiority. - vv. 8-13. - Paul points out their pride in their superiority and their position, all of it (from their perspective) a sign of the hand of God.

     | 13,649 views

    Why are not moving in the power and love of the disciples from the Bible?

    “My dog ate my homework.” “There was a wreck on the bridge that held me up.” “I didn’t see the stop sign.” “Maybe it’s not God’s will.” “His ways are not our ways.” It seems we all have heard a million excuses, and we have all used thousands ourselves. Making excuses or laying blame elsewhere ...read more

     | 3,626 views

    Our problem is not that we want too much, but too little; our problem is not that we have visions too great, but too small.

    Text Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is folly with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their craftiness,” 20 and again, “The Lord knows ...read more

  • Lesson 8: Watch Out For Pride Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Nov 1, 2010
     | 3,887 views

    Pride is a sneaky thing. It's the default program for humans and is at the root of the problem in Corinth, and often at the root of our problems as Christians.

    The American Heritage Dictionary defines sarcasm as: "A form of irony in which apparent praise conceals another, scornful meaning." An example might be to someone who is always late and you say to them: "Oh my, you're right on time!" Now if I told you that the Bible has several excellent examples ...read more
