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

Hebrews 4:1 Fear not entering His rest Heb 4:10 don’t be like the Exodus generation. Rest in His work Heb 4:14 stand firm on our battlefield— the moment that you start functioning with Christ as our High Priest is the moment life changes for us —prayer then becomes powerful. Hebrews 5:1-14 Levitical priests continued to sacrifice in error and evil; Jesus fulfilled that function perfectly. 1 Pe 2:5-9 we are all priests. We are all ministers. Heb 6:1-3 dead works are done in our own effort.
