It is hard to imagine all of the emotion Mark packs into just these eleven verses. He tells of the contract put on Jesus, His anointment by Mary, and the betrayal by Judas. Wow, what a passage.

by John Copper

Sun, Aug 30, 2020
by John Copper
Passage: 1 Corinthians 5:1-13
Series: 1 Corinthians
Duration: 44 mins 14 secs
Mercy! That church in Corinth had problems. Reminds me of some stories of churches I read about in America today. How does Paul instruct the church to deal with sexual immorality? Not like we hear across our land. Tune in, if you have the courage.

by John Copper
Passage: 1 Corinthians 4:6-21
Series: 1 Corinthians
Duration: 54 mins 58 secs
Paul finishes this discourse on the divisions in the church by ascribing the divisions to arrogance. He demonstrates that any wisdom men may have is derived from God, it is not due to their innate ability, nor is it particular to them.
