As a believer, are there any limitations on what we can do and what is it that drives the decision about those limitations? Paul has been explaining to the Corinthians that there are direct rules in the Word of God that a Christian must obey. But what about the things that are not so clearly labeled as wrong in the Bible? Are there any limitations with these? What follows is a study on the things that are controlled by how our brothers and sisters in Christ, and the lost people of the world, will perceive and be affected by our actions. This is a verse-by-verse study of 1 Corinthians 8:1-6.

The Bible tells us that time is short, and there is much work to be done for the Lord. What is it that distracts you from focusing totally on the Lord's work in your life? Is it your marriage? Is it your job, your friends, your stuff that you have accumulated while you have lived? In this verse-by-verse study of 1 Corinthians 7:25-40, Paul challenges us to focus our whole life on completing the Lord's work.

Have you ever wondered if God truly realizes what He has done to you since you became a Christian? Does God see the mess that becoming a believer has made in your marriage? Your lost husband or wife feels like they are now married to an alien. They want the person back that they married. Does He see the problems that you are having at work because people recognize the change in your life? You have stopped socializing in the ways that you did before. Did God know the type of person you were when He called you to be a Christian? Should you change anything? Should you leave your marriage, your job, your old friends? Paul answers these questions in a verse-by-verse study of 1 Corinthians 7:12-24.

Our lesson today concerns marriage. The matter of marriage has always been one of great interest and concern among God's people. Whether or not to remain single? Who to marry? When to marry? All are questions that relate to the stuff that life revolves around. With the exception of accepting Jesus Christ as our Savior, I can think of no other decision that impacts our lives like the decision of whom we marry, and if we should marry. It affects every single part of our life, as it should. Paul answers these questions in a verse-by-verse study of 1 Corinthians 7:1-11.

In today's lesson we are going to talk about what occurs when either a believer, or a lost person, chooses to have a sexual relationship with another person outside of the bounds of marriage. How many people do you think are involved when two unmarried people begin a sexual relationship? How many people are involved when one, or both, of the partners are married to someone else?In this verse-by-verse study of 1 Corinthians 6:16-20, Paul is going to answer these questions in our lesson today, and he is going to do it by showing us the cost of our infidelity to God and to our spouses.

Have you ever asked yourself what God's purpose was in giving us a body? Why did He not just leave us as spiritual beings? Why did He make us unique in all of creation by giving us three parts: body, soul, and spirit? Could it be that from the very foundations of the universe God has had a particular purpose in mind for us? The answer is yes, God does have a purpose for us and our bodies. Not only in this life, right now, but for all of eternity. This is the lesson that Paul wants the Corinthians to understand, that they are tools that God intends to use to serve His purposes, and for them to fulfill that purpose they must keep their bodies pure. This is a verse-by-verse study of 1 Corinthians 6:9-15.

What does the Bible say about how believers are to react when another believer steals from them, or lies about them? Of course, our natural reaction is to want to tell the world about what this person has done to us. However, the Bible tells us that there is something much more important at stake. The testimony of the church, and the believer, must be our main focus. Paul gives us the answer to this question in a verse-by-verse study of 1 Corinthians 6:1-8.

Our churches, afraid of confrontation, have chosen to tolerate the flagrant, willful sin of its members. Why do we do this? The Bible is certainly clear that we are not to tolerate it, so why do we do this? Paul answers this question in this verse-by-verse study of 1 Corinthians 5:6-13.

In our lesson today, Paul is going to talk about a father's discipline. He has been telling the Corinthians about the judgment that is to come. He has been telling them about how Christ will judge their works. But today he adds another element. Paul tells the Corinthians that he is their father in Christ, and that he is going to exercise discipline on them. This podcast is a verse-by-verse study of 1 Corinthians 4:15 through 5:5.

What is it that you are proud of? Your home, your car, your job, your looks, your wisdom, your clothes, your kids, your ability to sing, your college degrees, or your heritage? What is that you look at and say this is what I did, this is what I earned, this is what I created, this is what I accomplished, or this is what I am? This week's lesson is about what God says we have a right to be proud of.
This study is a verse-by-verse study of 1 Corinthians 4:6-14.
