Do You Not Know?, Part 4
In 1 Corinthians 6:9-20, Paul asks a series of four questions in order to confront and correct the sexual immorality of the Corinthians. The problem with the Corinthian believers was that they didn’t really know the gospel and its implications for their lives, particularly in the matter of sexual immorality. So, Paul's four questions were intended to direct the Corinthians back to the gospel (and it implications), which alone has the power motivate them to flee sexual immorality (v. 18a) and to glorify God in their bodies (v. 20b). Paul's questions are based on the gospel-philosophy, “become what you are.”

Legacy
Every person leaves some sort of legacy. Every legacy, whether bad or good, is born out of a person's thought life. Do you let your thoughts run wild? Or are they your avenue to greatness? The message is 75 minutes.
The Walking Wounded
If your life is dark and lonely don't give up, trust God. Pray right where you are. God will be there.
Freedom in Christ
When we take security in our own upbringing, dreams, social status, or ambitions, we become slaves. Freedom is only found in Jesus!
A Holy Suffering (part 2 - 4:12-19)
When bad things happen, how should we respond? Shall we blame God, since we know He could make it stop? Perhaps we should blame ourselves, since God wouldn't let bad things happen to us unless we somehow deserved it? What of a third option? How would you feel about the command to rejoice when difficulties come? That's Peter's encouragement in this passage and a deeper look into it reveals how we can rejoice when "fiery trials" come upon us.
Love Perfected
God's love is perfected in us through the power of the Holy Spirit
A Holy Suffering (part 1 - 4:12-19)
Who is there to harm you for doing good? The only reasonable answer here is people. God certainly wouldn't harm you for doing what is right but people are strange enough to do harm to those who strive to do well. How are we to respond to them? With gentleness and respect, so that their mistreatment of you should result in their shame, and their shame might lead them repentance as you speak of your hope in the midst of their reviling of you.
