We live in a society which is obsessed with the notion of ‘human rights’. In this world, it’s almost inconceivable that someone would actually choose to forego their rights — but that is exactly what Paul does in this pa

Is the Christian life primarily about knowing information? The Corinthians seemed to make a lot of “knowledge,” but they hadn’t realised the most important thing. Knowledge, without love, means nothing. It needed to make

A majority of young people still desire marriage as a ‘life goal’ — according to a 2022 YouGov survey, 60% of 18-34 year olds desire to get married. But is it right to desire marriage? Does marriage conflict with serving

In this passage, Paul teaches the Corinthians how to deal with questions of marriage and sexuality with godly wisdom. This is a message we need to hear today in a world where we face the same kind of issues. What does it

The sexual revolution of the 1960s promised freedom from the old, oppressive rules of Christianity. However, looking back over the last 60 years, it seems that freedom is the last thing that it has brought us. How should

Sometimes we can learn as much by looking at the wrong way of doing things as we can from studying the right way. This is the case with the Corinthians: they had been dealing with sin in the church in completely the wron

Have you ever known anyone expelled from a church because of immoral behaviour? Perhaps that is because most churches simply gloss over Paul’s teaching here about how important it is to purify the church. If we don’t tak

One of the most off-putting things about people is hypocrisy: we hate it when people say they believe one thing, but then do something completely different. This is doubly the case for Christians, where our lives should

Do we out-grow the gospel? Some Christians or churches give the impression that the gospel is there for the start of our lives but we move beyond it as we grow to maturity. But the truth is, we do not out-grow the gospel

Many people in the world have started to look for wisdom over the last few years. A lot of people have even turned to the Bible. But how do we really find wisdom? In this passage, Paul explains that there is a difference

One of the things I see regularly in the New Year is Christians saying that they’re going to try and read the whole Bible in a year. In my opinion, trying to read the Bible in a year is (probably) a bad idea — there’s so

In this passage, we see that the message of the cross looks different from where we are standing: the world thinks it is foolishness, whereas Christians see it as the power and wisdom of God. This has implications for wh

We are living in a more divided time than ever — from the wider political realm to friendships and marriages. That makes this passage from 1 Corinthians 1 especially relevant to us: the message of unity through the gospe

The start of a new year is an opportunity to make plans for the coming months. But few people — perhaps even Christians — stop to think: “What does God want my plans to be this year?” In this first sermon on 1 Corinthian

We human beings find it difficult to look below the surface. It’s easy to see someone who is attractive, rich, powerful or influential, and think they are successful in God’s eyes. But the truth is that God is able to lo

Join me to read John Owen’s classic book “The Mortification of Sin in Believers”. This book is one of the best that have ever been written about how to live a holy life. This final chapter is about how we can put all the

When it comes to obeying God, we can’t pick and choose what we want to obey and what we don’t. Obeying God needs to be all or nothing. In this passage, we see what happened when Saul decided not to obey God fully, and wh

Maybe you’ve asked questions recently about power and authority. In a world where everything seems to be going wrong, who is in charge? Who holds the power? And what does that look like? In this passage we see that true
