| 1 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 01) Introduction | 4305 | In the introduction lesson, Ed shares the historical background of the Corinthian church and how it proves that the gospel of Christ can work anywhere! The grand theme of the book is that through our union with Jesus Christ as Lord, we have the solution to every problem--corporate or individual. "To the degree we're knowing Him and enjoying Him as Lord," Ed assures, "to that degree all of our problems are solved." | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_01Intro.mp3 | I Corinthians | ||||||
| 2 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 02) Chapter 1 - 4 Overview | 4305 | Paul didn't start with the problems until he saw the Conrinthians in Christ. The first problem of division had four main causes: worldly wisdom, looking to men, hasty judgment of others, and spiritual pride. Satan loves to bring man's wisdom into the Church in its message, method and way to study the Bible. | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_02Chap01_04Overview.mp3 | I Corinthians 1 - 4 | ||||||
| 3 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 03) Theme: The Lordship of Christ | 4305 | In looking at division in the church, there are essential dangers in distinctive emphases, such as exclusivism, exalting men, and dragging Christ down. Ed shares how God can safeguard us from these dangers. | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_03.mp3 | I Corinthians 1 - 4 | ||||||
| 4 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 04) Division; Judgment Seat | 4305 | Hasty jugdment of others' motives is dangerous because it assumes the perogatives of God. The Judgment Seat of Christ is for Him, where He will reward you for what He did through you! Man's part of God's work is keeping his heart on Jesus Christ. | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_04.mp3 | I Corinthians 3 - 4:5 | ||||||
| 5 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 05) Chapter 4:6-21 Spiritual Pride | 4305 | Ed shows how this section asks 3 simple questions about pride and answers them. God gives gifts because we are needy not because we are special. Pride blinds us because it causes us to think that we have arrived. | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_05Chap04_6-21.mp3 | I Corinthians 4:6-21 | ||||||
| 6 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 06) Purity Chapters 5 & 6 | 4305 | Incest was just an illustration of the point that was much bigger that incest: leaven. God's solution was separation. When the Holy Spirit makes it real that your body was made for the Lord, it becomes a mighty weapon against immorality. | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_06Chap05.mp3 | I Corinthians 5 - 6 | ||||||
| 7 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 07) Personal Differences Chapters 5 & 6 | 4305 | In problems of purity, God reveals Christ in the pictures of leaven and Passover. Because the Corinthians only had half the revelation (the Lamb slain), they needed to see the other side of the marvellous picture of the Christian life as feast on Christ (the Lamb eaten). The underlying principle in personal differences is a willingness to be wronged or done unto. | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_07Chap0506.mp3 | I Corinthians 5 - 6 | ||||||
| 8 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 08) Chapter 7: Marriage, Sex, Separation | 4305 | The 7th chapter of this epistle are the apostle Paul's answers to five specific questions the Corinthians had about marriage. As pertaining to separation, how many grounds are there for separation (not divorce)? Marriage is such a sanctifying influence that the good affects the bad, putting the gospel in the face of the unbeliever. | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_08Chap07MarriageSexSeparation.mp3 | I Corinthians 7 | ||||||
| 9 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 09) Chapter 7: Problem of Marriage | 4305 | In the areas of non-essentials, the only thing that needs to change is the direction of your heart. The "unworldly heart" is very practical, making decisions based upon expediency and circumstances. Ed closes this topic with three practical outworkings of it. | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_09Chap07.mp3 | I Corinthians 7 | ||||||
| 10 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 10) Chapters 8-10: Questionable Practices | 4305 | Ed wraps up the section of Christian marriage by pointing out four truths. Chapters 8, 9 and 10 all center upon one question--the whole issue of questionable practices. What do we do with all the things that the Bible doesn't say anything about? | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_10Chap0708.mp3 | I Corinthians 8 - 10 | ||||||
| 11 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 11) Chapters 8-10: Questionable Practices (Cont.) | 4305 | What makes a Christian "strong" or "weak" as it pertains to questionable practices? 2 great principles that limit our liberty are 1) Does it hurt my brother's Spirit-controlled conscience? and 2) Does it hurt my testimony for Christ? | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_11Chap08Question.mp3 | I Corinthians 8 - 10 | ||||||
| 12 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 12) Chapters 8-10: Questionable Practices (Conclusion) | 4305 | When do I lay my liberties down? Ed shares Paul's illustrations to show that our freedoms are not that important and how trusting in these privileges (like Israel did) are no guarantee of your safety. | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_12Chap08_10QP.mp3 | I Corinthians 9 - 10, Romans 14:22-23 | ||||||
| 13 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 13) Chapter 11:2-16: The Veil | 4305 | Ed shares how the gospel impacted Roman society and how the woman's veil related in that culture. Submission is not to an individual but to an office. Pictures illustrate principles and once you have the reality, you don't need the picture anymore. | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_13Chap11_2-16TheVeil.mp3 | I Corinthians 11:2-16 | ||||||
| 14 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 14) Chapter 11:17-34: Picture of Lord's Table | 4305 | Ed shares about the picture of the Lord's Table and the danger of embracing the picture and missing the reality. The agape feast of the Corinthians became the occasion for exposing improper heart motives; and it's bigger than some ceremony. The direction of the heart is that we ought to be eating and drinking Christ. | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_14Chap11_17-34PictOfLordsTable.mp3 | I Corinthians 11:17-34 | ||||||
| 15 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 15) Chapters 12-14: Introduction To Spiritual Gifts | 4305 | Ed delicately handles these very controversial chapters by starting with that which is 100% certain and then clearing out the "smoke" that confuses so many. The basis premise of spiritual gifts is to fill the deficiency in ourselves or others. Tongues was not the problem in Corinth but the perfect illustration of the problem. | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_15Chap12_14IntroSpiritualGifts.mp3 | I Corinthians 12 - 14 | ||||||
| 16 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 16) Chapters 12-14: Introduction To Gifts | 4305 | As you go on to perfection, you will need less and less spiritual gifts. You must die to your spiritual gifts and blessings in order to rise again to the knowledge of Christ alone. As you grow, your gifts become a part of your character. | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_16Chap12_14IntroGifts.mp3 | I Corinthians 12 - 14 | ||||||
| 17 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 17) Chapter 12: The Gifts | 4305 | God's gifts are not God, and to grow into maturity we must die to gifts much like we "died" to the ABC's to embrace written communication. It is helpful to know that these chapters deal with the errors of childhood or immaturity. You never lose the gifts, but through a death are resurrected into the principle of character and life illustrated by the gifts. | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_17Chap12.mp3 | I Corinthians 12 | ||||||
| 18 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 18) Chapter 12: The Body | 4305 | Why is the human body such a wonderful illustration of Christian unity, more so than a factory, hospital, team, school or other metaphor? The secret of harmony of all believers is that they all live for the pleasure of the Head--Jesus. God has a variety of "tools" to get the "job" done, and the variety of the body rests upon the sovereignty of God. | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_18Chap12TheBody.mp3 | I Corinthians 12:12-31 | ||||||
| 19 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 19) Chapter 13: Love | 4305 | What is love? Love is the life of God. Don't wear yourself out by exertion trying to produce a life that only God can produce. The more you look to Christ, the more you experience the life of Christ and the more your need for gifts will pass away. | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_19Chap13.mp3 | I Corinthians 13 | ||||||
| 20 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 20) Chapter 14: Prophecy | 4305 | Whereas churches today have two kinds of gatherings (a "spiritual" meeting and a "business" meeting), the New Testament church had them as one. Spirituality is not defined by being involved with "spiritual things" but having a heart set upon Christ. Ed shares 4 reasons why he is leary of the modern approach to prophecy. | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_20Chap14Prophecy.mp3 | I Corinthians 14 | ||||||
| 21 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | I Corinthians 21 Chapter 15 The Resurrection | 4305 | too many audio problems | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_21Chap15TheResurrection.mp3 | |||||||
| 22 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 22) Chapter 15: Goal of Lordship | 4305 | What is the zenith of Christ's lordship? Christ lays down the crown to spend eternity with His people as the Kinsman-Redeemer! The goal of lordship is friendship. Ed shares from his own experience two big misunderstandings of the lordship of Christ. | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_22Chap15.mp3 | I Corinthians 15:12-32 | ||||||
| 23 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 23) Chapter 15: Resurrection Body | 4305 | One of the wonders of our resurrection is that it will be as sure as Jesus' and modelled after His. Through death and resurrection, God will adapt us to our new environment. We can only catch a hint of future glory as we can only catch a hint of mighty oak that will come forth from the acorn. | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_23Chap15_ResurrectionBody.mp3 | I Corinthians 15:35-54 | ||||||
| 24 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 24) Chapter 15:54-58 | 4305 | The present principle of resurrection is certain victory. Because death stung our Lord Jesus on the cross and left its stinger in Him, there is no more stinger for us! "One sight of Christ in glory," asserts Ed, "is a death blow forever for our old sin nature." It is seeing Jesus that not only makes us holy in the future but now in this present age. | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_24Chap15_54-58.mp3 | I Corinthians 15:52-58 | ||||||
| 25 | New Testament Books | Church Epistles | I Corinthians | (I Corinthians 25) Chapter 16: Conclusion | 4305 | The last chapter of Corinthians contains some spiritual nuggets of the proofs or evidences of the outworkings of the lordship of Christ. The test of lordship is systematic giving (16:1-4), control of my schedule (16:5-9), and control of my relationships with other Christians (16:10-18). When Christ is Lord, even my greetings will be holy and genuine. | Ed Miller | Corinthians01_25Chap16_Conclusion.mp3 | I Corinthians 16 |
