12. 1 Corinthians, Chapters 12 & 13, Gifts of the Spirit and the Pure Love of Christ Aug 23, 2019

Show notes

Paul really hits us with strong and important material: the Gifts of the Spirit and the Pure Love of Christ. We first find out what Paul was addressing and how the Spirit was not quite as...clear to the Corinthians. Then, some of the most sublime writing in all the world, Chapter 13. I absolutely love Paul's master work on Love. Charity. The Pure Love of Christ. This.is.brilliant. I wish we had enough time to really dig into Moroni 7 and Moroni 10. Read it! Wow, life changing. Christ's love and grace changes us. His Spirit gives us faith and hope.

11. 1 Corinthians, Chapters 8 & 9, helping the weak and winning the race Aug 20, 2019

Show notes

We continue onward in our study of 1 Corinthians. Paul writes to help solve more causes of division in the young congregation - creating temptations for weaker members. He uses the meat sacrificed to idols, but we can certainly apply to our societies today. Also, a brilliant metaphor of creating a temperate life, like an athlete, in order to win a crown that will never fade.

Review of Romans, chapter by chapter (really, chapter 1-3) 3. More in depth on Chapter 4 4. A wrap up Sorry for the additional length. Or...depending on if you like it...you're welcome.
