1 Corinthians 1-6 The city of Corinth was a economical powerhouse, a center for art, and culture. Much like modern day Los Angeles or New York. We will look at the Apostle Paul's work there. In this study we will look at how Paul addressed problems within the church and how the gospel will remedy it. The first half of 1 Corinthians will study what God says about divisions in the church and sexual conduct. This is the basis for a healthy church community within a region filled with a culture that goes against the culture of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Hosea 6:6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this, that a person will lay down his life for his friends.

Romans 6:3-5 Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his.

Jon Matthews Teaches On Matthew 17:20 He said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.”

Matthew 10:15 Truly, I say to you, will be more bearable on the day of judgment for land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town.

Psalm 19:1-2 The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge.

Philippians 3:10-11 I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.

1 Peter 3:15 but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect,

Ephesians 4:11-14 And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes.

Romans 7:6 But now we have been released from the Law, having died to that by which we were bound, so that we serve in newness of the Spirit and not in oldness of the letter.

Romans 4-8

1 John 3:8 ...The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. Christmas has been celebrated by believers for eons. Does it have a Biblical precedent or is it an amalgamation of pagan symbols, rituals, and Christian culture? What about the claim of Christmas just a Christianized Saturnalia? Or has it been totally Christian this whole time? Let's take a look at all these questions but more importantly let us honor Jesus Christ as he deserves. Let us celebrate his birth in Spirit and truth. *Special thanks to the InspiringPhilosophy channel on Youtube for historical info and slides.

Join us as we look at Romans 14-16 and how do we apply what we have been taught about the will of God for our salvation and also how we should treat government. How do we minister to a world where the people's god is money, status, and politics? How do we become servants of those who don't know the true God? We will answer that and more.
