1 Corinthians 4-5 - Justin Beshearse

In this episode, Pastor Justin focuses on the authority of the apostles in Corinth and the ancient depravity Paul criticizes vehemently. Sexual immorality in particular is a sin that has far reaching consequences. It is associated with the debased cultures of the Canaanites and has been a catalyst for destruction within God’s people for millennia. Listen in and be challenged by this word.

1 Corinthians 3 - Justin Beshearse

In this episode, Pastor Justin introduces us to the beginning of Paul’s criticism concerning the church at Corinth. Spiritual milk is leading to malnourishment of the saints alongside acceptance of cultural practices that should be rejected. Join us as we get into the heart of Paul’s letter and unpack how this still applies to the church today.

1 Corinthians 2 - Chris Yeager

In this episode, Chris takes us on a deep dive into the Structure, History, and Theology of Paul’s letter to the church at Corinth. Using his personal layout for study and teaching, Chris connects more of Paul’s theological framework into the writing. Deeper context equals fuller meaning. Tune in!

1 Corinthians 1-2 - Mario Gallione

What is wisdom? How does it impact our lives? The word of Christ is foolishness to the world but to us, the mind of Christ is the ultimate wisdom by which our lives are guided. In this episode, Elder Mario Gallione uses story and narrative to give us a fresh perspective on Paul’s opening statements in the letter.

1 Corinthians 1 - Wayne Berry

In this episode, Pastor Wayne builds on the introduction and takes us on an unanticipated journey, or “word work”. Whenever we open the Bible, this rabbit trail is possible. Tune in to the beginnings of Paul’s connection and dig deeper along the way.

Introduction to Corinthians

During Paul’s second missionary journey, he receives a notice from Apollo that the church in Corinth is in need of “corrective instruction”. In this episode we look at the beginnings of the Corinthian church, the journey and connection that led to Paul’s writings from Ephesus. The second of his letter’s to the church provide deep theological truths that have become foundational doctrines for all believers, regardless of culture and modernity.

2 Thessalonians 3 - Wayne Berry

In this episode Pastor Wayne Berry closes Paul’s letters to the Thessalonians with some challenging truths. Many of the hard things in scripture aren’t meant for unbelievers but for the church. Tune in as we close out section one of Paul’s writings to the church.

2 Thessalonians 1-2 - Chris Yeager

In this episode Chris lays out the case that modern empathy is not the same as biblical compassion. Paul’s second letter to the Thessalonians, written on the heels of the first, explains how the early church should function in such matters. Is empathy biblical? Tune in to find out.

Thessalonians 5 - Justin Beshearse

In this episode Pastor Justin closes Paul’s first letter to the church. What things did Paul deem important while he was with them? What events and happenings have we dismissed that the early church were aware of? Final instructions become a daily attitude.

Thessalonians 3-4 - Chris Yeager

In this episode Chris Yeager gets to the meat of Paul’s letter and the encouraging report that led to his writing. He reminds us of the importance that context provides and why background information leads to a fuller understanding of the details.
