—To be called by God is a marvelous blessing. It is a most important theme in 1Corinthians chapter one. This chapter identifies three cases of a calling from the Lord. Firstly there is Paul, secondly the Christians at Corinth, and thirdly the Lord Jesus himself. All these were called by God.
—Paul was utterly dedicated to his ministry as an apostle of Jesus Christ. His preaching was without charisma, but not without substance. In this chapter (1Corinthians 2) Paul defends his message and states its credentials
—In this chapter (1Corinthians 3), Paul wrote of four classes of people, namely Babes, Beanplanters, Builders, and Boasters. We will see who among these were servants of God.
—Paul wished the Corinthian church to understand the worries, hardships, and challenges he and his companions experienced in the ministry. These were extreme challenges, yet they embraced them all. This lesson is part 1 looking at five troubles (1Corinthians 4).
—This is Part 2 following the previous lesson. It looks at five more of Paul's troubles (1Corinthians 4).
—After writing about his own troubles, Paul next wrote about a most serious problem in the Corinthian church. There was a shocking attitude to immorality, particularly regarding the sexual immorality of one man in the congregation. This chapter (1Corinthians 5) describes what was wrong, and records what God, through Paul, said about it.
