1 CORINTHAINS — Part 3

I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some.

1 Corinthians 9:22b

The Corinthians thought themselves superior and able to divine for themselves God’s will and Word, neglecting the teaching of the servant God sent to them (like Paul).

They were “puffed-up” instead of humbling themselves in hearing and learning from those God sent.

May we not be so arrogant and honor those God sends over us!

Scriptures

  • 1 Corinthians 4

Free for Freedom

For freedom Christ has set us free.

Galatians 5:1

“Let freedom ring!”

“Give me liberty or give me death!”

The fourth of July recalls in our minds the Declaration of Independence for our nation and the whole concept of freedom.

But the freedom we have in Jesus is different. It is true. It is complete. It is everlasting.

That doesn’t mean we get to do everything we want. It means we are free to do everything God has called us for in Jesus. And that is a freedom that matters – forever!

Scriptures

  • Galatians 5:1
  • Galatians 5:13-26

NO BIBLE CLASS JULY 3, & JULY 10

I will be at the LCMS National Youth Gathering on July 10, so we were already not going to have class then.

Ben has come down with a mild case of COVID and Jen and I have mild symptoms and expect to in the next day or so. As such, we won’t have class this Sunday either.

Sleep, fellowship, etc. in good health these two weeks and see you on July 17!

“Finger Painting with God” – New Toddler Series

Join us starting July 10, as we learn about Creationwith fingerpaints!

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

Genesis 1:1 (NIrV)

With just paint and our fingers, we can make pictures of whatever we imagine. With just his voice, God created the world, the sky, the animals, and ME!

Each week, preschoolers will have a chance to make finger paintings of the Creation story.

Lessons:

Day, Night, Sky, & SeaGod made the light, the day and the night, the water and the skyGenesis 1:1-8
Days 1-2
Land & Plants, Sun, Moon, & StarsGod made the land and the sea and all the plants that grow in the ground. God also made everything we see in the sky – the sun, moon, and stars.Genesis 1:9-19
Days 3-4
Birds, Fish, Animals, & ManGod made every creature that swims in the water and flies in the air. God made all the animals that live on the land; God made people.Genesis 1:20-31
Days 5-6
RestGod made a special day for me to rest and to remember all He has done. We can remember that God made my family. God made my friends. God made me!Genesis 2:1-3
Day 7

Join us for a fingerpainting, God-loving time!

1 CORINTHAINS — Part 2

I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some.

1 Corinthians 9:22b

Divisions and conflict in the Church have been around since the beginning; often in very pronounced and terrible ways.

The Corinthian believers weren’t immune from this sin and neither are we.

It is a situation that harms, not just believers, but unbelievers who see it, too.

What a terrible witness!

Let us put off these divisions and strive for the unity that is ours through Jesus Christ!

Scriptures

  • 1 Corinthians 1:10-17
  • 1 Corinthians 3:1-23

1 CORINTHAINS — Part 1

I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some.

1 Corinthians 9:22b

The city of Corinth was a tough place, let alone a tough place to start a congregation! Every vice and sin was in abundance.

But Paul had a love for these people and their situation – even as he chastised, taught, and reminded them about “Christ Crucified,” living for others, the Resurrection, and more!

This is an excellent book and we can learn a lot from being in it!

Scriptures

  • 1 Corinthians 1:1-9

I AM — Holy Trinity Sunday

Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.

John 8:58

Some make the mistake of emphasizing the humanity of Jesus over His divinity. Others do the opposite.

But the Truth is that Jesus is 100% God and 100% Man.

That means He is both willing and able to accomplish everything needed to seek and save us, who were lost.

Praise the Lord for that!

Scriptures

  • Exodus 3:13-15
  • John 8:48-59
