Good morning, my family, friends, and followers.
INTRODUCTION 1 CORINTHIANS
Exploring 1st Corinthians and Its ThemesJared, the meeting host, welcomed everyone and led a prayer before delving into the discussion about 1st Corinthians. He introduced the author, Saint Paul, and discussed the central theme of the epistle, which is communion with God versus communion with darkness. He also outlined the subthemes of the epistle, which include factionalism, civil lawsuits, sexual immorality, sacrifice to idols, Eucharistic theology and practice, spiritual gifts, and resurrection life. The conversation ended with Jared sharing the screen to discuss the background of 1st Corinthians further.
Corinthian Church Problems and Paul's LettersJared discussed the problems in the Corinthian Church, which Paul addressed in his letter. These issues included disunity among the church members, incorrect teachings, moral failures, and disagreements on how to respond to idolatry. Jared also mentioned two lost letters from Paul to the Corinthians, one before 1st Corinthians and another between 1st and 2nd Corinthians. The problems in the Corinthian Church were not quickly or easily resolved, as indicated by the internal evidence in Paul's letters.
1st Corinthians and Prayer SessionIn the meeting, Jared discussed the upcoming session on 1st Corinthians, Chapter One, which would cover the greeting and other related topics. He also shared a quick video named "The Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit" and led a prayer session, invoking the blessings of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He ended the conversation by wishing everyone a blessed day.
In Christ, love ❤️ Jared W Campbell
