HFW: 1 Corinthians 1:1-9

We're working through a study this summer to celebrate Ephesians 3:10:

So that the manifold wisdom of God might be made known through the church to rulers and authorities in the heavenly places.

This series will run from June 22-August 30, with four readings per week.

This week (2), the first reading is 1 Corinthians 1:1-9. After reading this text, answer the following questions, then you can watch the video for a 5:00 thought from the text. (I recommend you work in the text first before watching the video. However, be aware, the video is not intended to be the back of an algebra book--supplying answers to the questions--but rather, is just sharing some thoughts from the text.)

Questions:

1. What did Paul's calling look like? What was its purpose?

2. How was Paul's calling similar to the calling of the saints of Corinth?

3. What words describe the work of God for the believers in Corinth?

4. How is this true of all believers?

5. How will Jesus present them someday?
