Season 1
There is much ado or at least much confusion about head coverings. Well there is at least one simple way of thinking about it, as David explains. Also we go into the Communion Passage read in churches almost every Sunday. Join David Alley as he reads 1st Corinthians 11 and then discusses the chapter and these issues.
The last two chapters of 1 Corinthians, Paul has been talking about meat offered to idols and how a Christian should handle that. It's always in the best interests of others. But what if an unbeliever offers you something and you think it "might" be bad but you don't know for sure? Here is how to handle that. Join David Alley as he reads 1st Corinthians 10 and then discusses the chapter and these issues.
In the middle of a three chapter discussion of how to handle idol meat in a Christian church, Paul demonstrates how we should give up our rights, to what we want for the sake of others. He uses himself as an example.
Idol meat was actually a huge issue in Corinth, but one that seems to not quite fit into our society today, and yet there is an application that remains for us out of this chapter. Join David Alley as he reads 1st Corinthians 8 and then discusses the chapter and these issues.
Paul was single and seemed to think that was the best scenario in his case, but many people are terrified by the idea that God may call them to be single. To be single or not, that is the question it seems nobody wants to consider. Join David Alley as he reads 1st Corinthians 7 and then discusses the chapter and these issues.
In Corinth, some Christians took other Christians to court, but Paul felt the entire situation was embarrassing for the church and undermined the gospel. What should we do for situations like that? Join David Alley as he reads 1st Corinthians 6 and then discusses the chapter and these issues.
There was a most horrible case of unusual sin in the church at Corinth, the type that even unbelievers with low standards would would consider wrong. What did Paul say about it? Join David Alley as he reads 1st Corinthians 5 and then discusses the chapter and these issues.
Paul describes his willingness to be a fool for Christ, his willingness to suffer disgrace, and endure hardship for the sake of the gospel. Join David Alley as he reads 1st Corinthians 4 and then discusses the chapter and these issues.
When your life is over there is a test to see if what you have done was eternal or temporary. It will be tested by fire. This isn't hell, but a test applied to all Christian believers. Paul explains it right here: Join David Alley as he reads 1st Corinthians 3 and then discusses the chapter and these issues.
Without the holy Spirit's help, the things of God remain complicated, but with his help they become simple and easy to understand. It is a strange thing, and yet for those with the experience of having the Lord with them, not strange at all. Join David Alley as he reads 1st Corinthians 2 and then discusses the chapter and these issues.
