When the Israelites traded slavery in Egypt for freedom in the wilderness (1 Cor. 10:1-5), God provided for them in six specific ways which foreshadowed his provision for believers under the stii-fu…
There were "other gospels" even in Paul's day just as there are today, so we need to know what the authentic apostolic gospel really looks like. We find the answer in 1 Corinthians 9:18-27 where we …
Should Christians defend themselves when criticised or simply turn the other cheek (1 Corinthians 9:1-18)? The Apostle provides the answer by defending his apostleship not out of pride but to protec…
When Peter stood up on the Day of Pentecost he had not only to prove that Christ had risen from the dead but also that He died to bear the sins of those who trust in Him. How did he do it? He relied…
Influencers tell us what we must have to enjoy life and collect commission on the sales they make to gullible followers. But when we turn to the Bible we quickly find that there are spiritual "must-h…
Out of the moral chaos in the church at Corinth (1 Cor. 6:13-20) there emerge God-glorifying views of the unmarried state (married to Christ), the local church (members of Christ) and the everyday Ch…
The "still waters" of Psalm 23 hold hidden truth. Unlike the broken cisterns where the world vainly seeks satisfaction, they provide the pure water that satisfies our souls and provides the eternal l…

How can the worst of sinners be transformed into faithful followers of Jesus Christ? Paul's explanation (1 Cor. 6:11) has a brevity equalled only by its profundity. They are "washed, sanctified and …
GUEST MESSAGE BY PHIL WATSON. When will sheep lie down? When they feel safe. When they are properly cared for. And when they are well-fed. As the believer's "good shepherd" the Lord Jesus Christ pro…
In 1 Corinthians 6:1-8 Paul rebukes the Corinthians for taking fellow believers to secular courts to obtain redress for wrongs done to them. But this passage opens up a rich study of the biblical pr…
Chapter 5 of 1 Corinthians makes depressing reading but it opens up the grand theme of the forgiveness of a true Christian who falls into sin. We learn that we should deal with such a person firmly …
Paul sets out to teach the wayward Corinthians how to behave in a way that pleases God (1 Cor. 4:6-21). They should imitate him as he imitated Christ. He appeals to OT scripture without giving a ref…
Paul presents a high view of the local church in 1 Corinthians 3:16-4:5 declaring it to be the temple of God. But he also warns that it can be destroyed. We see how this can happen and how it can be…
