'This is one exciting letter. This is one relevant letter. This is a study that I just can’t wait to start. And I hope that God will create a similar expectancy in your own heart and mind."-Alistair Begg Paul had been part of this church in Corinth when it was established, but when he comes to write to it in 1 Corinthians, he’s writing to a church that has wandered from its established foundations. All kinds of teaching and doctrine had been imbibed by people who should have known better. Many of those in Corinth were not as interested in ...
We’ll open to the book of 1 Corinthians to observe a first century church that had drifted from its original moorings. And in the meantime we’ll learn a lot about our own tendency to wander.
If the Apostle Paul could write a letter to your home church, what would it say? Most likely, it would sound a lot like the document in our Bible the first letter to the Corinthians! Alistair Begg describes the firm foundation of God’s church and presents Paul’s message to its members.
Anyone who’s attended church for a number of years knows that the squabbles and divisions within the congregation can rival those outside of it! Alistair Begg turns to 1 Corinthians for the Apostle Paul’s wisdom in dealing with divisions.
When churches lose their focus on Christ, the congregation begins to fall apart. Alistair Begg focuses on Paul’s correction to the ancient churches and to our own. If you’ve ever experienced the division and disunity in a local church, listen to what the Apostle Paul has to say.
Alistair examines the message of the cross as outlined in 1 Corinthians 1: 18. He details the distinction between those who are perishing and those who are saved, then urges us to determine whether we are truly trusting in Christ for our salvation.
The definitive event in the history of the universe is the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ on the cross. Yet the church is in danger of so trivializing the notion of sin that the cross of Christ becomes an antiquated preaching point. Pastor Alistair Begg preaches from 1 Corinthians 1 on Paul’s determination to preach Christ and him crucified in every opportunity. At the risk of being repetitive, pastors everywhere must endeavor to preach the one thing which can achieve forgiveness for man and his greatest need- forgiveness and reconciliation to a holy God.
Ever tried to explain the Gospel to a friend only to receive a blank look or a disheartening brush-off? The Apostle Paul explains in 1 Corinthians that the world sees the message of God’s Word as foolishness but to those who believe, it is life and peace. Alistair Begg compares the world’s wisdom and God’s wisdom.
