Turning From What?

1 Corinthians 10:14-22 14 Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. 15 I speak as to wise men; you judge what I say. 16 Is not the cup of blessing which we bless a sharing in the blood of Christ? Is not the [a]bread which we break a sharing in the body of Christ? 17 Since there is one [b]bread, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one [c]bread. 18 Look at [d]the nation Israel; are not those who eat the sacrifices sharers in the altar? 19 What do I mean then? That a thing sacrificed…

A Call To Turn Back pt. 3

1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.

A Call To Turn Back pt.1

1 Corinthians 10:1-5 For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers and sisters, that our ancestors were all under the cloud and that they all passed through the sea. 2 They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea. 3 They all ate the same spiritual food 4 and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ. 5 Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them; their bodies were scattered…

A Spiritual-Minded Man Considers The Eternal Reward His Greatest Prize

1 Corinthians 9:24-27 24 Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win. 25 Everyone who competes in the games exercises self-control in all things. So they do it to obtain a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. 26 Therefore I run in such a way as not to run aimlessly; I box in such a way, as [a]to avoid hitting air; 27 but I strictly discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others,…

A Spiritual-Minded Man Considers Himself a Slave to the Message of the Gospel

1 Corinthians 9:19-23 19 For though I am free from all people, I have made myself a slave to all, so that I may gain more. 20 To the Jews I became as a Jew, so that I might gain Jews; to those who are under the Law, I became as one under the Law, though not being under the Law myself, so that I might gain those who are under the Law; 21 to those who are without the Law, I became as one without the Law, though not being without the law of God…

A Spiritual-Minded Man Considers Gospel Proclamation Living Natural

1 Corinthians 9:1-18 “Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord? 2 If I am not an apostle to others, at least I am to you; for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord. 3 My defense to those who examine me is this: 4Do we not have a right to eat and drink? 5 Do we not have a right to take along a believing wife, even as the rest of the apostles…
