Being Holy in an Unholy World
We are to glorify God in all that we do, including in how we use our body. The Corinthians were being taught that what they did with their body was immaterial - that only the "spirit" mattered.
We Will Judge the World
The Corinthian Christians were, in some cases, taking one another to civil courts over various disputes. Paul says this is shocking and shameful and calls them to realize who they now are in Christ.
The Righteousness of God
This is Reformation Sunday on which we remember Luther's posting of his 95 theses and the official start of the Protestant Reformation and the casting off of the darkness of the false Roman church.
Christ Our Passover Lamb
The Passover and Feast of Unleavened Bread serves as a picture of Christ's sacrifice for us. Paul points this out to the Corinthians and tells them that like leaven which was to be put out of their homes at Passover, so the leaven of sin must be put out from among them.
Don’t Eat with Such a One
God's command to His people is that the wicked who claim to be Christians are to be put out of the church. The Passover is a picture of how the church is to be pure - clean out the leaven because Christ our Passover has been sacrificed.
The Ten Virgins by J.C. Ryle
Christ is coming again! The parable of the 10 Virgins is a call to us to be ready, knowing that He could return at the most unexpected time. Those not prepared will find themselves shut out of the kingdom.
Moses – An Example by J.C. Ryle
Moses is an example of genuine faith. He chose to suffer with the people of God rather than cling to the treasures of Egypt.
Do Not Even Eat with Such a Person
Paul admonishes the Corinthians for their arrogance in failing to grieve over gross sin in their midst and to put such a professing Christian out of the church.
Greatness in the Kingdom of God
Paul admonishes the Corinthians for their arrogance. He shows them his experience in following Christ and rebukes them for puffing themselves up in pride. The church of today needs this rebuke.
