In today’s episode, we walk through 1 Corinthians 16, one of the most foundational chapters in all of Scripture. Paul brings the Corinthian church back to the core of the gospel: Jesus Christ died for our sins, was buried, and was raised from the dead. Without the resurrection, our faith collapses. With it, everything changes.

Paul makes it clear that the resurrection is not symbolic, spiritual-only, or optional. It is historical, eye-witnessed, and central to Christianity itself. If Christ is not risen, then preaching is empty, faith is useless, sin still reigns, and hope is lost. But because Christ is risen, death has been defeated, forgiveness is secure, and eternal life is guaranteed.

This episode also explores what the resurrection means for our future, the promise of glorified bodies, victory over death, and a coming day when mortality puts on immortality. Paul reminds us that what we believe about eternity directly shapes how we live today. Because resurrection is real, our obedience matters, our suffering is not wasted, and our labor in the Lord is never in vain.

This teaching calls us to stand firm, live with eternal perspective, and walk daily in resurrection power, confident that Jesus has already won the victory.

In today’s episode, we walk through 1 Corinthians 14, where Paul brings balance, clarity, and wisdom to the use of spiritual gifts in the gathered church. The Corinthian believers were passionate about the supernatural, but their gatherings had become confusing, self-focused, and unhelpful to others. Paul doesn’t shut down the gifts, he teaches how they should function so the whole body is strengthened.

We explore the difference between tongues and prophecy, the importance of interpretation and understanding, and why edification must always be the goal in corporate worship. Paul reminds the church that maturity isn’t measured by spiritual expression alone, but by love, clarity, and concern for others.

This episode also addresses a common tension in Spirit-filled churches: freedom versus order. Paul makes it clear that God is not the author of confusion, and that order doesn’t quench the Spirit, it reveals Him. When gifts operate through love and wisdom, worship becomes a place where believers are built up and unbelievers clearly encounter the presence of God.

This teaching calls us to pursue the Holy Spirit with humility, desire the gifts that build others, and ensure everything we do in worship points people to Jesus.

In today’s episode, we slow down and walk through 1 Corinthians 13, one of the most well-known yet often misunderstood chapters in Scripture. Set in the middle of Paul’s teaching on spiritual gifts, this chapter reveals a crucial truth: gifts without love may impress people, but they do not please God.

Paul challenges the Corinthian church, and us, by making it clear that spiritual power, knowledge, sacrifice, and even faith itself are empty without love. He defines love not as a feeling, but as a way of living marked by patience, kindness, humility, and perseverance. This chapter becomes a mirror, exposing pride, comparison, and self-centered spirituality.

We also explore why love outlasts every spiritual gift. Prophecy, tongues, and knowledge all have a purpose for this life, but love carries eternal weight. Paul reminds us that spiritual maturity is not measured by how gifted we are, but by how well we love.

This teaching calls us to examine our motives, grow beyond spiritual childhood, and pursue “the more excellent way”, a life rooted in Christlike love that reflects heaven to the world.
