About this listen

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.
