But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindler—not even to eat with such a one. 1 Corinthians 5 The church often finds itself pulled toward one of two extremes.…

Jeremiah 6-8 Impending Disaster for Jerusalem 6 Flee for safety, O people of Benjamin,    from the midst of Jerusalem!Blow the trumpet in Tekoa,    and raise a signal on Beth-haccherem,for disaster looms out of the north,    and great destruction.2 The lovely and delicately bred I will destroy,    the daughter of Zion.[a]3 Shepherds with their flocks shall come against her;    they shall pitch their tents around her;    they shall pasture,…

This is how one should regard us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.  1 Corinthians 4 Given that Paul has written about how not to grasp for authority or prominence in the church back in chapter 1, one might conclude that there is no place for someone to exercise authority over…

Jeremiah 3-5 3 “If[a] a man divorces his wife    and she goes from himand becomes another man’s wife,    will he return to her?Would not that land be greatly polluted?You have played the whore with many lovers;    and would you return to me?declares the Lord.2 Lift up your eyes to the bare heights, and see!    Where have you not been ravished?By the waysides you have…

For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s field, God’s building. 1 Corinthians 3 Christ Himself, in His person, works, and words, constitutes the cornerstone of the foundation of the church.

Jeremiah 1-2 1 The words of Jeremiah, the son of Hilkiah, one of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, 2 to whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. 3 It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of…

…these things God has revealed to us through the [Holy] Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. 1 Corinthians 2:6-16 Paul writes here of the Holy Spirit’s work of illumination within the Christian. In Romans 8:12-17, Paul wrote of the internal testimony of the Holy Spirit, which tells us that the Holy Spirit confirms…

Isaiah 65-66 Judgment and Salvation 65 I was ready to be sought by those who did not ask for me;    I was ready to be found by those who did not seek me.I said, “Here I am, here I am,”    to a nation that was not called by[a] my name.2 I spread out my hands all the day    to a rebellious people,who…

For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. 1 Corinthians 2:1-5 First-century citizens of the Roman Empire prized eloquent, persuasive rhetoric, often placing the speaker’s ability of skilled phrasing over the content of the subject orated. The Corinthian Christians were the same way with their factionalism based on choosing well-spoken…

Isaiah 62-64 Zion’s Coming Salvation 62 For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,    and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not be quiet,until her righteousness goes forth as brightness,    and her salvation as a burning torch.2 The nations shall see your righteousness,    and all the kings your glory,and you shall be called by a new name    that the mouth of the Lord will…
