Helping the Poor and Final Exhortations (1 Corinthians 16)

As Paul concludes his letter, his love for the brothers and sisters in Corinth is palpable despite the many problems he has addressed. We also see his deep love for the poor Christians in Jerusalem, as he instructs the church in Corinth to set aside money for their brothers and sisters across the Mediterranean Sea.

The Resurrection of the Body - Part 4 (1 Corinthians 15:50-58)

In his final remarks on the resurrection of the body, Paul explains when the resurrection will happen and describes a great mystery: our bodies will be transformed, and death will be destroyed.

Tongues, Prophecy and Women Speaking in Church (1 Corinthians 14:1-40)

Some churches claim that the gifts of speaking in tongues and prophecy no longer exist. However, others embrace these things as part of their worship. In this passage Paul also forbids women from speaking in the church. Was that command based on local culture, or does it still apply today? In this message we tackle
