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

Incense on the Altar
Gene recently taught a class at our local church called 'Incense on the Altar' based on the words of Psalm 92 and Revelation 5:8. We would like to share this class with you to encourage your heart this Thanksgiving week. Even in the midst of this crazy and ever changing world we have so many absolutes from God's Word to fill our hearts with gratefulness. May your prayers of gratitude to our Lord be as "Incense upon the Altar" bringing praise and glory to His Name.
