Chapter 5 - Walk in Greater Boldness 

Spiritual maturity - LOVE is the language of heaven.

Here’s a Bible study on 1 Corinthians 13:9–13 — a passage that brings Paul’s great love chapter to its eternal conclusion.

🔍 Context This chapter sits between Paul’s teaching on the spiritual gifts (chapters 12 and 14). The Corinthians were fascinated with prophecy, tongues, and knowledge—but Paul shows that love is the highest and most enduring gift. Spiritual gifts are temporary tools for this age, but love is the eternal nature of God that will continue forever.

Verse 9–10: “We know in part and we prophesy in part…” Paul reminds us that our spiritual insight, revelation, and knowledge are partial and incomplete.

Verse 11: “When I was a child…” Paul uses the analogy of growing up to describe spiritual maturity.

Verse 12: “Now we see through a glass, darkly…” Mirrors in Paul’s day were made of polished metal, producing a dim and distorted reflection. Our present understanding of God and His purposes is like seeing a blurry image—but one day, we’ll see face to face.

Verse 13: “Now these three remain: faith, hope, and love…” Faith is trusting in what we cannot yet see. Hope is a confident expectation in God’s promises. Love is the very nature of God Himself (1 John 4:8).

❤️ Closing Thought:  This passage reminds us that love is the language of heaven. All revelation, prophecy, and power flow from it and return to it. To walk in love is to walk in the very heartbeat of God.

LOVE - The most excellent way. Love never fails.

📖 Bible Study: The More Excellent Way — 1 Corinthians 13:1–8

🕊️ Context Paul wrote this chapter to the Corinthians, who were passionate about spiritual gifts but lacked love in their expression of them. Chapters 12 and 14 deal with spiritual gifts, but Chapter 13 reveals the heart behind them. Without love, even the most powerful gift loses its meaning. Paul calls love “the more excellent way” (1 Corinthians 12:31). Love is not a gift to be exercised occasionally; it is the divine nature to be lived daily.

💡 Verse-by-Verse Study: Verse 1 – The Tongues of Men and Angels. The gift of tongues was prized by the Corinthians, yet Paul warns that eloquence without love is empty noise.

Verse 2 – Prophecy, Knowledge, and Faith. Prophecy, deep revelation, and mountain-moving faith can exist apart from love—but they have no eternal value without it. Love defines our spiritual worth in God’s eyes, not our level of gifting or revelation.

Verse 3 – Generosity and Sacrifice. Acts of sacrifice or charity are empty if done for self-glory or religious duty. True love gives not for recognition but from compassion. Love transforms good deeds into eternal fruit.

Verses 4–5 – The Character of Love. This is a portrait of Christlike love.  Love’s first qualities—patience and kindness—show that it responds gently to weakness. Love refuses to keep a record of offences. Forgiveness is love’s way of freeing the heart from bitterness.

Verses 6–7 – Love’s Strength. Love stands on the side of truth—it never supports wrongdoing, even out of loyalty. 

Verse 8 – Love Never Fails. Love endures beyond prophecy, knowledge, and tongues—it is the heartbeat of heaven. Where love reigns, failure cannot prevail.

🌸Key truth: Everything done in love carries eternal value.

Spiritual Pride and Division

Bible study 📖 1 Corinthians 12:24–31

🕊️ Context Paul is still addressing the issue of spiritual pride and division in the Corinthian church. Some believers were exalting certain gifts (especially tongues or miracles) and looking down on others. Paul uses the human body as a metaphor to show how every member is vital, regardless of function.

💡 Verse-by-Verse Insight Verses 24–25 – God’s Design for Unity and Equality. Paul says “God has put the body together” — meaning that it is God Himself who determines each believer’s place and gift. ➡️ Spiritual truth: No believer is inferior or superior.

Verse 26 – Mutual Care and Empathy Paul paints a beautiful picture of unity: “If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honoured, every part rejoices with it.” This is the essence of Christian community—empathy, compassion, and shared joy.  

Verse 27 – You Are the Body of Christ Paul makes it personal and collective: “You are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.” Each believer represents Jesus’ hands, feet, voice, and heart.

Verse 28 – Divine Order and Diversity of Ministries Paul lists several ministry roles and gifts: “First apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, gifts of healing, helping, guidance, and tongues.” This order doesn’t mean rank or superiority, but function and foundational purpose: Apostles lay foundations and pioneer new works. Prophets bring revelation and correction. Teachers establish truth and understanding. Miracles & Healings demonstrate God’s power. Helps and Guidance (administration) ensure order and care. Tongues edify and connect to the Spirit realm.

Verses 29–30 – Diversity in Gifts Paul asks rhetorical questions: “Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers?” The obvious answer is no. Not everyone operates in every gift. The Spirit distributes them as He wills (v. 11). 

Verse 31 – Eagerly Desire the Greater Gifts Paul ends by saying: “Now eagerly desire the greater gifts. And yet I will show you the most excellent way.” He isn’t saying some gifts are unimportant — but that the “greater gifts” are those that build up the whole Body, such as prophecy and teaching (see 1 Cor 14:1–5). Then he transitions to 1 Corinthians 13, showing that love is the “most excellent way.” Without love, even the greatest gift is empty.

💖 Love gives value to every gift. 🔥 Key Lessons Unity is God’s design — every believer has a purpose. Mutual care is essential — no part can function in isolation. 

One Body, One Spirit. Unity and diversity of the gifts

Bible study 📖 1 Corinthians 12:13–23 (NKJV)

🕊️ Context Paul is teaching the Corinthian church about the unity and diversity of spiritual gifts. The Corinthians were divided—some boasting of more visible or “powerful” gifts (like tongues or prophecy), while others felt inferior or unnecessary. Paul uses the human body as a metaphor for the Body of Christ (the Church) to correct their mindset.

💡 Verse-by-Verse Study Verse 13 — One Spirit, One Body We are all baptized by one Spirit into one body—Christ’s body.

Verses 14–17 — Diversity with Purpose Paul imagines a conversation among body parts to show the absurdity of comparison or self-pity. Each part (gift) has a distinct and necessary function.

Verse 18 — God’s Sovereign Design “God has set the members… just as He pleased.” The distribution of gifts is not random.

verses 19–20 — Unity in Diversity There are many members, yet one body. Diversity should lead to interdependence, not competition.

Verses 21–22 — Mutual Need No one can say, “I don’t need you.”

Verse 23 — Greater Honour to the Hidden Parts. Paul honours the hidden and modest parts of the body. The Church should value and protect those who serve quietly or behind the scenes.

Unity of the Gifts Of The Spirit

Corinthians 12:1–12, focusing on the Holy Spirit’s gifts and unity in the Body of Christ. 🕊️ 

Theme: Unity in the Spirit’s Diversity of Gifts

📖 Scripture Reading “Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant.” — 1 Corinthians 12:1 (NKJV) 🪔

Background The church at Corinth was rich in spiritual gifts but poor in unity. Believers were divided, prideful, and comparing their gifts. Paul wrote this passage to correct their misunderstandings and remind them that the Holy Spirit is the source of all gifts, given for the common good — not self-promotion.

The Lord's Supper

Here’s a Bible study on 1 Corinthians 11:22–34, focusing on Paul’s teaching about the Lord’s Supper (Communion) and the attitude of reverence and unity believers must have when partaking of it.

🕊️ Context Paul is correcting the Corinthians for their misuse of the Lord’s Supper. Instead of a holy time of remembrance, it had turned into a selfish feast, where some ate excessively while others went hungry. The rich humiliated the poor, destroying the unity and sacredness of the gathering. 📚 Key Themes and Lessons:

1. The Lord’s Supper Is Sacred (v. 23–26) 

2. Examine Yourself (v. 27–29) 

3. Divine Discipline (v. 30–32) 

4. Unity and Love in the Body (v. 33–34) 

Mutual Dependence and Cultural Sensitivity in Worship.

Here’s a study breakdown for 1 Corinthians 11:11–21: 📖 

✨ Key Themes & Insights

1. Mutual Dependence (vv. 11–12) Paul balances his earlier teaching on headship by affirming that men and women need each other. Woman came from man (Eve from Adam), but now all men are born of women. 

2. Cultural Expression of Order (vv. 13–15)  The principle: Worship should reflect respect, order, and cultural sensitivity, not rebellion or confusion.

3. Unity in Practice (v. 16) Paul discourages quarrelsome attitudes over traditions. The unity of the churches mattered more than winning arguments over cultural expressions.

4. Correction in the Lord’s Supper (vv. 17–21) Paul rebukes the Corinthians: their gatherings caused harm rather than edification. Divisions in the church (v.18) exposed pride, cliques, and selfishness.

Application: The Lord’s Supper must be a moment of unity, remembrance of Christ, and equal participation — not indulgence or exclusion. 🪔 

Headship, Order and Honour in Worship

Here’s a Bible study on 1 Corinthians 11:1–16 with context, key themes, and application:

📖 Bible Study: 1 Corinthians 11:1–16 Topic: Headship, Order, and Worship 1. Context Paul continues addressing issues in the Corinthian church. This section focuses on order in worship, specifically the practice of head coverings and the principle of headship in God’s design. Corinth was a diverse city with Greek, Roman, and Jewish influences. Customs around modesty, authority, and gender roles varied, and Paul is giving guidance that both honors God’s created order and avoids cultural confusion in worship.

Christian liberty exercised with love

Here’s a structured Bible study on 1 Corinthians 10:23–33 that unpacks the passage step by step: 📖 Passage 1 Corinthians 10:23–33.

📝 Context Paul is addressing the Corinthians’ struggles with food offered to idols. Some believers thought their freedom in Christ allowed them to eat anything. Others, with weaker consciences, could stumble if they saw Christians eating food connected with idol worship. Paul provides a principle: Christian liberty must be guided by love and God’s glory, not selfishness.

Israel's failure in the wilderness.  Warning again idolatry.

Here’s a detailed Bible study on 1 Corinthians 10:15–22

Context

Paul is warning the Corinthian believers against idolatry.

Earlier (10:1–14), he reminded them of Israel’s failures in the wilderness as a warning not to repeat their mistakes.

Now (10:15–22), Paul addresses the Lord’s Supper and contrasts it with pagan sacrifices to show that believers must not share fellowship with both Christ and demons.

Spiritual Warnings.  Israel's History in the Wilderness.  Warnings to church

Bible study on 1 Corinthians 10:6–14 (1 Corinthians 10:6–14)

1. Context Paul is addressing the Corinthian church’s pride and compromise. They assumed that because they were baptized and took communion, they were spiritually secure—even if they mixed with pagan worship and immorality. Paul points to Israel’s history in the wilderness: although they experienced God’s miracles and blessings, many fell into sin and judgment. This is both a warning and an encouragement.

2. Key Themes and Verse-by-Verse

Breakdown v. 6 – Lessons from Israel’s failures “These things took place as examples for us…” The Old Testament accounts are not mere history; they are spiritual lessons. God preserved these stories to show us what to avoid—coveting evil, pursuing sinful desires, taking His grace for granted.

v. 7 – Warning against idolatry “Do not be idolaters as some of them were…” Reference to Exodus 32 (golden calf). They ate, drank, and “rose up to play” (Hebrew word suggests revelry and immorality). Idolatry is not only bowing to statues—it’s putting anything above God (pleasure, wealth, status, even ministry itself).

v. 8 – Warning against sexual immorality “We must not indulge in sexual immorality… twenty-three thousand fell in a single day.” Reference to Numbers 25 (sin with Moabite women at Baal Peor). Shows how quickly sin can bring destruction—even among God’s people.

v. 9 – Warning against testing Christ “We must not put Christ to the test…” Reference to Numbers 21 (people complained against God and were bitten by serpents). To “test Christ” means to push His patience, doubting His goodness while demanding proof.

v. 10 – Warning against grumbling “Nor grumble as some of them did and were destroyed by the Destroyer.” Reference to Numbers 16 (Korah’s rebellion and other complaints). Grumbling reflects unbelief and rebellion; it’s more serious to God than we think.

v. 11 – Examples for our instruction “Written down for our instruction, on whom the end of the ages has come.” These warnings apply directly to believers today. We are living in the last stage of God’s redemptive plan; the stakes are high.

v. 12 – A call to humility “Let anyone who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall.” Spiritual pride makes us vulnerable. The moment we think we are immune to sin is the moment we’re in danger.

v. 13 – God’s faithfulness in temptation “No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man… God is faithful… will provide the way of escape…” Encouragement: Temptation is universal, but never irresistible. God limits its power and always provides an escape—whether that’s a door to run through, strength to resist, or wisdom to avoid the trap.

v. 14 – Flee from idolatry “Therefore… flee from idolatry.” Don’t debate with sin—run. This is Paul’s practical conclusion. If something competes with God for your heart, leave it behind immediately.

3. Main Takeaways Learn from history. Spiritual privilege is no guarantee of spiritual safety. Idolatry, immorality, testing God, and grumbling are deadly sins—still real threats today. Be humble. Anyone can fall. Confidence must rest in Christ, not in self. God is faithful. He always provides an escape route from temptation. Act decisively. Don’t toy with sin; flee from it.

4. Discussion Questions What “idols” tempt believers today—things we might put before God? How does Paul balance warning (“take heed”) with encouragement (“God is faithful”)? What are some practical “ways of escape” from temptation you’ve seen in your own life? Why do you think Paul includes grumbling alongside idolatry and immorality? How can we keep spiritual privileges (like baptism and communion) from becoming a false sense of security?

5. Application Personal: Identify any area of compromise—flee from it, don’t flirt with it. Corporate: Churches must guard against mixing cultural idols with worship of Christ. Hopeful: God doesn’t leave us helpless; He faithfully provides escape routes when temptation comes.

Spiritual Privileges vs Spiritual Immunity.  Avoiding presumption.

Here’s a detailed Bible study on 1 Corinthians 10:1–5, drawing out its historical background, theological meaning, and practical applications.

The Passage (ESV) “For I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, and all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual Rock that followed them, and the Rock was Christ. Nevertheless, with most of them God was not pleased, for they were overthrown in the wilderness.” 1. Context Paul is writing to the Corinthians, a church struggling with pride, division, and moral compromise. In chapter 9, Paul described his own self-discipline so he would not be “disqualified” (1 Cor 9:27).

Chapter 10 continues this warning by using Israel’s wilderness story as an example of how spiritual privilege does not guarantee spiritual success.

Outcome: Despite these blessings, almost the entire generation (except Joshua and Caleb) perished in the wilderness due to unbelief and disobedience (Numbers 14).

Warning: Spiritual experiences and blessings are not a substitute for perseverance in faith and obedience.

Apostolic Athletics and Discipline

Here’s a Bible study on 1 Corinthians 9:24–27, a powerful passage where the Apostle Paul uses the imagery of athletic discipline to describe the Christian life and ministry.

📖 Scripture: 1 Corinthians 9:24–27 (ESV)

24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it.

25 Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable.

26 So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air.

27 But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.

🧐 Context Summary Paul has been discussing his apostolic rights and his choice to forgo them for the sake of the Gospel. In these verses, he shifts to a metaphor from athletics — something familiar to the Corinthians, who hosted their own version of the Olympic Games, the Isthmian Games. He compares the Christian life to a race or a boxing match, requiring discipline, focus, and purpose.

💬 Declaration I run my race with purpose. I will not grow weary or distracted. I fix my eyes on the eternal prize and choose to walk in discipline, focus, and faith. I will not be disqualified — I will finish well.

Apostolic Adaptability and Servanthood 

Bible Study: 1 Corinthians 9:19–23

Theme: Becoming All Things to Win Some

🔍 Context:

Paul is explaining his approach to ministry. Though he has the right to be supported financially (as discussed earlier in the chapter), he voluntarily gives up his rights for the greater mission of spreading the Gospel. These verses show his evangelistic strategy—deep empathy, cultural awareness, and sacrificial love.

✨ Key Themes and Insights:

1. Freedom and Servanthood (v.19)

• Paul emphasizes he is free—not under anyone’s control.
• Yet he chooses to become a servant to all.
• This is a model of voluntary servanthood—laying down one’s rights for the sake of love.

🔁 Reflection: Am I willing to surrender my personal rights for the benefit of others' salvation?

2. Adaptability Without Compromise (vv.20–22)

• Paul adapts to different cultural and religious groups:
  • Jews: He honors their traditions to build bridges.
  • Those under the law: He respects the Mosaic customs.
  • Gentiles (those not under the law): He meets them where they are.
  • The weak: He comes alongside them in humility.

Paul doesn't compromise truth or righteousness, but adapts his approach to be relatable.

🧭 Principle: Cultural sensitivity and compassion open doors for the Gospel.

3. Purpose-Driven Living (v.22b–23)

• Paul’s motivation: "that I might save some."
• He is laser-focused on the eternal impact of his actions.
• His reward: to share in the blessings of the Gospel—seeing lives transformed.

🎯 Challenge: Do I live with the same evangelistic urgency and eternal perspective?

📜 Takeaway Verse:

“I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some.” (1 Corinthians 9:22b)

Apostolic Purpose and Calling .

Here's a Bible study on 1 Corinthians 9:15–18, which explores Paul’s heart and motivation for ministry. This passage is rich in lessons about servanthood, calling, and reward in the Christian life.

📚 Context Recap

In the broader chapter, Paul is defending his apostolic authority and explaining why, even though he has the right to receive financial support from the church (like other apostles), he chooses not to. This is to remove any obstacle that might hinder the message of the gospel. 

Key Themes:

• Servanthood over entitlement 
• Obedience over convenience
• Eternal reward over earthly gain
• Love for the gospel over love for self. 

Apostolic Rights and Sacrifice

Bible Study on 1 Corinthians 9:3–14.

Focusing on Paul's defence of his apostleship and his right to material support in ministry. Paul is responding to criticism about his apostolic authority and whether he should receive support from the church. Some Corinthian believers questioned whether Paul, because he did not take financial support, was truly an apostle. Paul firmly reasserts his rights, though he emphasizes that he has chosen not to use them for the sake of the gospel.  Paul affirms that it is a biblical right for ministers of the gospel to receive financial support.

Apostolic Authority 

Bible Study on 1 Corinthians 9:1-2.  

Apostleship is validated by results.  
Others may not accept Paul as an apostle (possibly rival teachers or critics), but the Corinthians themselves are living proof of his ministry. He calls them the “seal” of his apostleship—a seal in ancient times confirmed authenticity and ownership. The transformed lives in Corinth validated Paul's divine calling.  ✨️ Don't let people's doubt define you.

Healing Money can't buy

A Sermon on the Healing Power of God

Healing Money Can’t Buy

Text: Acts 3:1–10; Acts 4:1–22

I love the miracle of Peter and John healing the lame man at the Beautiful Gate. Though they had no money to give him, they gave him something far greater — a healing that money could never buy. The man had been begging for alms but received strength in his legs and a new life he could not have imagined.

Paul's wisdom on various life situations- married, widow and single.

Here is a Bible study on 1 Corinthians 7: 39​–40 

Context Overview:

This chapter is part of Paul’s teaching on marriage, singleness, and Christian living. Paul is offering Spirit-led counsel to believers navigating relationships in a time of distress (verse 26) and in light of eternity.

Happiness in singleness: Paul suggests that a widow may find greater contentment in remaining unmarried, especially in light of the distressing times they were facing.

Marriage, Purity and Singleness 

Here is a Bible study on 1 Corinthians 7:36-38

Context of 1 Corinthians 7

Paul is responding to questions from the Corinthian believers about marriage, singleness, and sexual morality. The Corinthian church was dealing with cultural pressure, spiritual confusion, and false teachings about celibacy and marriage. 

Main points: 

1. Marriage is good and a protection against immorality. 

2. Singleness allows undivided attention to the Lord.

3. Focus is on betrothal. 

Guidance on Marriage and Singleness 

Bible Study on 1 Corinthians 7:25-35.

This passage is part of Paul's instructions to the Corinthian church about relationships, particularly singleness and marriage, in light of what he calls the “present distress.”

Theme: Singleness, Marriage, and Undivided Devotion to the Lord.

Verses 25–28 – Advice on the Unmarried and Virgins

Paul clarifies he has no direct command from the Lord (i.e., Jesus didn’t teach on this), but he gives his trustworthy counsel.

Prayer 

Prayer for the peace of Jerusalem and Israel and an end to this war. Divine intervention in the Middle East. 

Handling legal disputes in church

Bible study

1 Corinthians 6:1-8

Paul reproves the Corinthians for going to the courts of law over minor disputes.   He says they should be wise, a bit more mature and have moral integrity, to judge and resolve these matters of little value among themselves.   By taking the matter to unbelievers in court they brought reproach on the church.  

Be God's instrument of healing 

Maintaining Holiness and Purity

Bible study 

1 Corinthians 5:9-13

The Apostle Paul is writing to the church in Corinth, addressing issues of immorality and the responsibility of the church to maintain holiness within its community.  He guides them on church discipline for persistent unrepentant sinners.  Purge the evil.

 How to know the difference between a word of knowledge from God and a word from a psychic or a medium, which is spiritualism. God's words bring life and hope for the future.  He gives us loving guidance into his will.  The path of life. A word from the demonic realm will bring death and lead you to a dead end.
