1 Corinthians 1:1-17 Reading and Study

Good morning everyone.

1 Corinthians 1:1-17 Reading and Study

1st Corinthians Discussion and Prayer
Jared Wesley Campbell led a discussion on 1st Corinthians, chapter one, focusing on verses 1-17. Jared also emphasized the importance of faithfulness and the role of a minister as a servant to someone else's will. Jared also highlighted the significance of the Church of God at Corinth despite the disorder and disunity among the Corinthians. He ended the session with a prayer, asking for divine knowledge and the application of learned teachings.

Grace, Peace, and Church Unity
Jared discussed the concept of grace and peace in the context of the Bible. He explained that grace is God's unlimited, unconditional, and uncreated love, freely given to those who do not deserve it, and peace is our reconciliation with God and each other. He also emphasized the importance of thankfulness for God's grace and the Church's gifts and calling. Jared then shifted the discussion to the Church's unity, stressing the need to put away divisions and maintain unity within the Church. He mentioned that Chloe, a prominent woman who hosted the Corinthian Church in her home, had reported these contentions to Paul.

Apollos' Teachings and Paul's Perspective
Jared discussed the life and teachings of Apollos, a Jew who was learned from Alexandria, Egypt, and known for his knowledge of the Scriptures. Apollos was initially a follower of John's baptism but was later taught more about Christ by Priscilla and Achaia. He then preached at Corinth, where some saw him as a rival to Paul. Paul emphasized that Christ should be the focus of the Church, not the apostles and that baptism is not his primary role but rather to preach and teach the gospel. The conversation ended with a prayer and a blessing.

In Christ, love ❤️ Jared W Campbell
