This study was presented in the August 2013 Bible conference in Southern California.Though Corinth was a “problem church” for Paul, how thankful we ought to be for them, for without their problems and questions, we would not have the answers and guidance provided in this wonderful letter. As with all the epistles, the challenge is to lay hold of the character of Christ. We are to be “transformed by the renewing of [our] minds” (Rom 12:2), and to “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus” (Phi 2:5).
Key verses for this study:
- “For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.” 1Co 2:2 and
- “Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you are truly unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us.” 1Co 5:7

Joshua # 09 -- Jos 6:1
Salvation mostly means deliverance in New Testament (Phi 1:12-14, Phi 1:19-20, Phi 2:12-13, Jam 1:21). Paul sees salvation as sustaining him through dangers and threat so that he could be a bold witness who is not ashamed. The special protective hand of God is there when a believer is obedient (Phi 2:13). Worship means I am willing to lose my life, lay it down, to find what He promises. The greatest security we have is in seeking the plan of God. Rahab knew that God was able to save her life if he had already saved her soul. Jos 6:1
