    based on 5 ratings
     | 11,287 views

    Those who deny the truth of the resurrection are teaching a different gospel to that which we find in the New Testament.

    I BELIEVE IN THE RESURRECTION. 1 Corinthians 15:1-34. Sometimes it is necessary for Christian people to get back to the basics of their faith, to remind themselves what they are about. Here in 1 Corinthians, Paul is not teaching his readers something new, but reviewing that which he taught them ...read more

    Longing for home.

    TOWARDS A NEW CREATION. 2 Corinthians 5:6-17. Having spoken of the impermanence of the ‘tent’ of this body, and the ‘eternity’ of our dwelling in heaven (2 Corinthians 5:1), the Apostle Paul began to mix his metaphors, yearning to be ‘clothed upon’ with ‘our habitation which is from ...read more

    Resting on the sure foundation of the proclamation of the Cross of Christ, as opposed to worldly wisdom.

    A BUILDING FIT FOR GOD. 1 Corinthians 3:10-11; 1 Corinthians 3:16-23. The Apostle Paul refers to the church as God’s ‘building’ (cf. 1 Corinthians 3:9).

    God has appointed a variety of gifts for the edification of the church.

    UNITY, INTERDEPENDENCE, AND GIFTS. 1 Corinthians 12:12-31. 1. The oneness of the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:12-14).

  • Paul Plays The Fool.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 21, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 504 views

    Paul has been accused of being a fool and weak. He does not deny the accusations, but makes a masterful ironic reply.

    PAUL PLAYS THE FOOL. 2 Corinthians 11:19-31. While the Apostle Paul was delayed from his next visit to Corinth, certain ‘false apostles’ (as he calls them in 2 Corinthians 11:13) had come into the Corinthian church preaching ‘another Jesus, whom we have not preached,’ and offering ‘another ...read more

  • Baptism And Communion In The Wilderness

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 25, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,099 views

    The exodus is a type of our salvation, and the wilderness wanderings serve to warn us against presumptuousness.

    BAPTISM AND COMMUNION IN THE WILDERNESS. 1 Corinthians 10:1-13. 1. The continuity of Israel and the Church. The Apostle Paul, a ‘Hebrew of the Hebrews’ (Philippians 3:5), refers to the Gentile and Jewish Christians at Corinth as “brethren” (1 Corinthians 10:1) - thereby indicating the ...read more

    based on 8 ratings
     | 4,772 views

    How can we not be generous when Christ gave His very Self? We give thanks to God for His indescribable gift.

    2 Corinthians 8:1-12. By the grace (charis = gift) of God, the Macedonian church had been particularly forward in giving (2 Corinthians 8:1-4). Paul challenged the Corinthians to demonstrate their love by also sharing in this grace of giving (2 Corinthians 8:7-8). The pattern of Christ's ...read more

  • Grace And Peace, Thanksgiving And Fellowship

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 25, 2013
    based on 11 ratings
     | 7,153 views

    Grace as the source of spiritual gifts. Peace as something more than the absence of war. Thanksgiving is for always. Fellowship in Christ draws individuals together.

    GRACE AND PEACE, THANKSGIVING AND FELLOWSHIP. 1 Corinthians 1:3-9. It was customary for Greek and Roman letter-writers in the first century A.D. to prefix their epistles with “greetings” (Acts 15:23; James 1:1). Paul regularly uses a pun, replacing “greetings” with “grace” (1 Corinthians 1:3). ...read more

    SPIRITUALITY, DIVERSITY, AND GIFTS. 1 Corinthians 12:1-11. 1. Concerning spirituals (1 Corinthians 12:1-3). “Now concerning spirituals,” begins this passage (1 Corinthians 12:1).

    Ministry in co-operation with God. Nurturing grace in the believer.

    A FORMULA FOR CHRISTIAN FORMATION. 1 Corinthians 3:1-9. The natural man does not receive the things that are of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him (1 Corinthians 2:14). Yet the Corinthians hoped they were better than this – and the Apostle Paul wished that they were. And yet, for ...read more

  • A Call To Boast?

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 8, 2016
    based on 18 ratings
     | 8,523 views

    Consider your calling. Glory in nothing but the Cross!

    A CALL TO BOAST? 1 Corinthians 1:18-31. The Apostle Paul has established that the preaching of the cross was considered foolishness by this world’s wisdom (1 Corinthians 1:18).

  • The Nature Of The Resurrection Body.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 23, 2022
    based on 3 ratings
     | 1,685 views

    Continuity and discontinuity between the natural and the spiritual.

    THE NATURE OF THE RESURRECTION BODY. 1 Corinthians 15:35-38, 1 Corinthians 15:42-50. We can imagine one of Paul’s hecklers in Corinth posing the question, “How are the dead raised? And with what body do they come?” (1 Corinthians 15:35). This does not sound like an inquiry of faith, but ...read more

  • The Hope Of Glory

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 25, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,963 views

    But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, as by the Spirit of the Lord.

    THE HOPE OF GLORY. 2 Corinthians 3:12-18; 2 Corinthians 4:1-6. Opening this passage at 2 Corinthians 3:12, we are compelled to ask: What is the “hope” that Paul speaks of here? The context seems to suggest that it is the ‘hope of glory’ (cf. Colossians 1:27). In 2 Corinthians 3:7-11, the ...read more
