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.

In today’s episode, we dive into 1 Corinthians 12, where Paul brings clarity to one of the most misunderstood and debated topics in the church: spiritual gifts. The Corinthian believers were passionate about the supernatural, but their lack of maturity led to confusion, comparison, and division. Paul doesn’t shut down the gifts, he teaches the church how to walk in them... God’s way.

We break down the nine manifestations of the Holy Spirit, explaining how each gift functions and why they are given for the common good, not personal attention. Paul reminds us that true spirituality is measured by devotion to Jesus, not outward displays, and that every gift flows from the same Spirit with one purpose: to build up the body of Christ.

This episode also explores Paul’s powerful illustration of the church as one body with many members. We confront pride and insecurity head-on, showing how both damage unity and limit effectiveness. You’ll be reminded that your gift is not accidental, your calling is not random, and your place in the body was intentionally designed by God.

This teaching is an invitation to walk in humility, honor the gifts of others, eagerly desire what builds the church, and make room for the Holy Spirit to move freely, always through love.

In today’s episode, we walk through 1 Corinthians 11, where Paul addresses disorder, dishonor, and confusion in the Corinthian church, especially in worship gatherings and during the Lord’s Supper. This chapter is often misunderstood, but when read in its cultural and biblical context, Paul’s heart becomes clear: God cares deeply about honor, order, and unity in His church.

We unpack Paul’s teaching on spiritual authority and headship, clarifying what it means, and what it does not mean, in light of Christ’s example. We also explore the cultural background behind head coverings, explaining why Paul focused on honor rather than external appearance, and why worship is a moment where heaven itself is paying attention.

The episode then shifts to Paul’s strong correction regarding the abuse of communion. What was meant to be a sacred proclamation of Christ’s sacrifice had become a selfish, divided, and irreverent gathering. Paul calls the church back to self-examination, unity, and reverence, not to shame believers, but to protect them.

This teaching challenges us to ask hard questions: Are we honoring God in our worship? Are we discerning the body of Christ? Are we approaching the Lord’s Table with humility and gratitude? Ultimately, this episode is a call to restore reverence, heal division, and worship God in spirit and in truth.

In today’s episode, we dive into 1 Corinthians 10, one of Paul’s strongest and most urgent warnings to the church. The Corinthians were blessed, gifted, and spiritually privileged, but they were drifting into the same sins that destroyed Israel in the wilderness.

Paul reminds them, and us, that spiritual experiences don’t replace obedience, and freedom doesn’t excuse compromise. He walks us through four destructive patterns: idolatry, sexual immorality, testing God, and grumbling. And he reveals how each of these ancient pitfalls is still alive in our culture today.

We also unpack the promise in verse 13 that God always provides a way out of temptation, the command to flee idolatry, and Paul’s powerful challenge: “Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.”

This episode is a call to humility, holiness, spiritual discipline, and wholehearted devotion to Jesus. It’s about learning from history instead of repeating it, recognizing subtle idols, and running our race with purpose.

If you’ve ever felt pressure to blend in with the world, struggled with temptation, or wrestled with spiritual pride, this teaching will help anchor your heart back to God’s truth and His glory.

In today’s Morning Charge replay, we break down 1 Corinthians 8, a powerful chapter where Paul confronts the difference between having knowledge and walking in love. The Corinthian church was growing in understanding, but their spiritual maturity was being tested by how they used that knowledge. Paul reminds them that “knowledge puffs up, but love builds up,” calling believers to prioritize the spiritual well-being of others above personal freedom. We explore what it means to avoid becoming a stumbling block, how to handle our liberties with wisdom, and why true maturity always expresses itself through love. This episode challenges us to grow in compassion, humility, and responsibility as we live out our faith in a watching world.

In today’s Morning Charge, we take a deep dive into 1 Corinthians 7, where Paul tackles some of the most sensitive and misunderstood topics in the early church, marriage, divorce, remarriage, singleness, and living the life God has assigned to you. Before exploring the passage, we step back and look at the historical and cultural backdrop of Corinth, a city overflowing with sexual immorality, pagan worship, temple prostitution, and broken views of intimacy. Understanding this context reveals why Paul had to speak with such clarity, boldness, and pastoral authority to newly converted believers who were confused, conflicted, and coming out of chaotic lifestyles.

From there, we walk through Paul’s practical, Spirit-led instructions for husbands, wives, singles, widows, and those wrestling with their past. This episode brings biblical truth with real-life application, reminding us that our calling, our season, and our relationships carry purpose when surrendered to God.

Whether you’re married, single, divorced, widowed, or simply seeking God’s direction for your life, this teaching will bring clarity, encouragement, and conviction.
