Paul’s Paternal Care: 1 Cor. 4:7-21

Bringing his opening arguments to a close, the apostle Paul addresses the ridiculous nature of the Corinthian’s pride in 1 Cor. 4:7-21.  In this lesson, David Brown shows that Paul’s goal was not to shame them, but to correct them as a father for their betterment.  Paul also issued a severe warning – shape up before his next visit, or he would have to come with the rod of correction!

“Come and See” (Life of Christ Sermon 10)

The very first men that became the disciples of Jesus received the invitations, “Come and See” and “Follow Me.”  With those sweet few words Jesus extended the greatest invitation to His disciples, and He still extends that invitation to us today.  In this lesson, Nate Bibens teaches on Jesus’ first calling of His disciples in John 1:19-51!
