1 Corinthians 1:10-17 w/Jack Hester

1 Corinthians 1:10-17 w/Jack Hester

The Corinthian church was fractured by division, jealousy, and pride because they were being shaped more by the surrounding culture than by the gospel of Jesus Christ. In 1 Corinthians 1:10–17, Paul reminds us that when we lose sight of Christ, our preferences and pride begin to divide what Jesus died to unite, and that the only cure for fractured relationships is lifting our eyes back to Christ crucified.

1 Corinthians 1:4-9 w/Kyle Beshears

In 1 Corinthians 1:4–9, Paul reminds a struggling church that their hope was never found in their own strength, but in the grace of God that saved them, sustains them, and will one day make them blameless in Christ. These verses call us to rest again in the faithfulness of the God who always finishes what He starts.

1 Corinthians 1:1-3 w/Jack Hester

We begin our study of 1 Corinthians by looking at verses 1–3. Though the Corinthians belonged to Christ, their lives were shaped more by the world than by the gospel. Yet Paul begins not with condemnation, but with grace, reminding them—and us—who we are and what we are called to be in Christ

Jonah 4:1-11 w/Kyle Beshears

In Jonah 4, we hear the heart of an angry prophet and see the heart of a loving God. Through loving discipline and probing questions, God exposes Jonah's heart—a man who is happy to receive grace yet struggles to extend it to others. As the book ends with an unanswered question, we're left to consider not only Jonah's response to God's grace, but our own.

Jonah 3:1-10 w/Jack Hester

In Jonah 3 , we see God's prophet reluctantly obey, Nineveh humbly repent, and God graciously relent. Together, these events reveal the depth of God's mercy and His purpose to work in His people so He can work through His people to extend that mercy to the world.
