Outloud Bible Podcast - 1 Corinthians 1-2: Willing to look foolish

Send us a message!We trace Paul’s path from Acts into Corinth and face the uncomfortable truth that church conflict is nothing new. We read the opening of 1 Corinthians and let Paul re-center our faith on Christ crucified rather than charisma, factions, or human wisdom. • Paul’s missionary context from Acts and why Corinth matters • Paul’s choice to work as a tentmaker to avoid suspicion • How division and “horizontal energy” distract the church from God • Why 1 Corinthians reads like a practical workbook for church life • Paul’s appeal for unity and his critique of leader-based factions • The wisdom of the cross versus the wisdom of the world • Paul’s weakness and humility so faith rests on the Spirit’s power Download your Echo Bible study for the book of First Corinthians, called Messy Church.
