Morning Session: Reading and Study- 1 Corinthians 1:17-2:9/ Time 0:00
Jared led a morning session of reading and study, focusing on finishing 1 Corinthians chapter one and starting 1 Corinthians chapter 2, verse 9. He began with a prayer, asking for divine knowledge and guidance in understanding the Scriptures. He emphasized the importance of pursuing a spiritual life and glorifying God. Jared then shared his pleasure in bringing God's Word to the group each day and continued breaking down the text verse by verse.
Baptism, Preaching, and God's Wisdom/ Time 1:35
Jared discussed the role of baptism and preaching the gospel, emphasizing that baptism is not the primary role of an apostle but instead preaching the gospel. He also highlighted the importance of not relying on wisdom of words or philosophical thought, as these do not promote salvation or understanding of God's work. He further explained that the message of the cross is foolishness to unbelievers but a source of power and wisdom for believers. He concluded by stating that God chooses the base things of the world, those considered to be nothing, to bring them to significance.
Humility and Power in Preaching/ Time 6:50
Jared discussed the importance of humility and reliance on God's power in preaching and teaching. He referenced 1st Corinthians, 2nd Corinthians, and 2nd Peter to emphasize that effective preaching should not rely on persuasive words of human wisdom but rather on demonstrating the Spirit and power. He also highlighted the significance of spiritual maturity, as those who are mature are the spiritual ones who can understand the wisdom of God in a mystery. Jared ended the conversation by hinting at further discussion, possibly continuing in the next meeting.
Gospel of the Kingdom Mystery/ Time 11:19
Jared discussed the gospel of the kingdom, emphasizing that it was a mystery known only to Christ and not to angels or other creatures. He referenced Romans, Ephesians, and Corinthians passages to support his argument. He also highlighted Jesus's dignity and honor, stating that it was that of God the Father Himself. Jared ended the conversation by announcing that the next session would begin in Chapter 2, verse 10, and continue to Chapter 3, stopping at verse 4.
Prayer Session and Bible Reflections/ Time 17:03
Jared led a prayer session, invoking the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He emphasized the importance of understanding and living the words of the Bible rather than just hearing them. He also expressed his love for his work and desire to help others. The session concluded with a blessing and a wish for peace and forgiveness for all.
In Christ, love ❤️ Jared W Campbell
