Chapter 4! This season I am walking through the Apostle Paul’s 1st letter to the church in Corinth (1 Corinthians), and I invited my friend Matt Kennedy to unpack chapter 4 with me. In this episode, we discuss the incredible privilege of being carriers of the gospel, and how that privilege alone should keep us from dividing over worthless things. After putting ministers of the Gospel in their proper place in chapter 3, Paul asks several rhetorical questions in chapter 4 to get the Church to realize their errors in having internal conflict with each other, and how that conflict sends the wrong message about the essence of the Gospel.
Tune in to Episode 39 to witness Paul’s fatherly/pastoral heart in correcting his wayward children’s behavior; which emphasizes the essential reminder that the kingdom of God does not consist in words but in power (1 Cor. 4:20).
