Corinthians

What is the nature of faith?

September 6, 2022 by Krisan Marotta

Some see faith as a settled issue, something we no longer have to think about once we pray the sinners prayer. Others see faith as a journey with trials and troubles along the way. The goal is to grow and persevere. Which approach we take influences how we interpret the Bible. (I take the second approach.)

46 1Corinthians 15:50-58 The end of death

May 13, 2020 by Krisan Marotta

43 1Corinthians 15:1-19 The importance of Christ’s resurrection

April 22, 2020 by Krisan Marotta

Paul starts correcting the Corinthians view that there is no resurrection from the dead by making two points: 1) Jesus, the man, was resurrected and 2) if Jesus wasn’t resurrected, then his death accomplished nothing and we are still guilty before God.

41 1Corinthians 14:1-25 The greater gifts

April 8, 2020 by Krisan Marotta

Paul argues that prophesy is a better than tongues because prophesy edifies the larger body while speaking in tongues edifies only the speaker. Implicit in his argument is that we should value truth over emotion.

March 25, 2020 by Krisan Marotta

In this podcast we focus on what Paul is saying about love and why Paul felt it was important to correct the Corinthians understanding of love. In the next podcast, we’ll examine how this passage fits into the context of his overall argument.
