Good morning everyone!
1 Corinthians 3:5-4:10 Reading and Study.
Exploring God's Teachings and Roles/ Time 0:00
Jared led a Bible study session, focusing on 1st Corinthians, chapter 3, verses 5 to 4, verse 10. He emphasized the importance of understanding and applying God's teachings daily. He also discussed the role of ministers, stating that they serve someone else's will. He used the analogy of planting and watering to illustrate that the increase comes from God, not from the efforts of the planters or waterers. He concluded everything belongs to God, including Paul, Apollos, and the world.
Church Unity and God's Work/ Time 4:39
Jared discussed the organic nature of the church, emphasizing its growth from being planted to becoming a building and, eventually, a temple. He highlighted the importance of unity within the church, warning against actions that could desecrate this unity. Jared also discussed the concept of God's fellow workers, emphasizing that they are not equal partners but servants participating in God's work. He further explained that earthly wisdom is attractive but ultimately leads to death, while true wisdom and life are found in Christ. Lastly, he emphasized that the church possesses all things because it is the body of Christ, and Christ is God.
Humility and Judging in 1st Corinthians/ Time 9:43
Jared discussed the importance of humility and not judging others based on personal opinions or interpretations. He used the example of 1st Corinthians, chapter 4, where Paul emphasized that he and Apollos were not to be judged by others but by Christ. Jared also highlighted the irony and sarcasm used by Paul to convey the message of humility and the need to avoid pride. He concluded the session by expressing hope that the study would be beneficial and invited everyone to join him in the next session to continue their study of 1st Corinthians.
In Christ, love ❤️ Jared W Campbell
