1 Corinthians 10:14-11:1 Flee From Idolatry
Moving from the examples of Israel in the wilderness to the elements of our communion table, Paul demonstrates the real possibility of participating with demons in idolatry. His suggestion: Flee from Idolatry! Live to glorify God above.
Daniel 7:1-8 The Vision
The historical, story portion of Daniel is finished. From this point forward, Daniel tells of several visions he had, and the interpretations he was given. There is a lot of debate among scholars regarding the interpretations and I don’t pretend to have all the answers. No-one does.
Mark 16:1-8 The Resurrection
The single greatest event in human history – the resurrection of Jesus the Messiah. This is the section of Scripture we look at in this study; not just in Mark, but in all of the Gospel accounts.
1 Corinthians 10:1-13 As An Example
Regarding Christian Liberty and food sacrificed to idols, Paul formulates an argument from the history of the exodus to the current situation in Corinth. In the face of blessings, the children of Israel still chose idolatry. Paul says don’t be like them.
Mark 15:42-46 The Burial of Jesus
There are some interesting facts with the burial of Jesus that we miss if we read the accounts too quickly. In this study we will look at some of those, particularly in the gospel of John.
1 Corinthians 9:1-27 Bound by Freedom
Continuing in his discussion of Christian Liberty, Paul demonstrates through a convincing argument how he is bound by his freedom.
Daniel 6:1-28 Civil Disobedience
Daniel is stuck between a rock and a hard place. The Supreme Ruler has forbidden prayer to any god except himself for a period of 30 days. How should Daniel respond? He chooses civil disobedience, and pays the price for it.
Mark 15:33-41 The Death of Jesus
The death of Jesus. Will the world ever understand this? No, not likely. Do Christians understand it? Barely. Explore a “non-traditional” perspective of the death of the Messiah.
Daniel 5:1-31 Belshazzzar and the Fall of Babylon
Belshazzar, the grandson of Nebuchadnezzar. Belshazzar plays the fool on the eve of destruction. He knew of Daniel, and of his own grandfather Nebuchadnezzar, but he failed to learn some humility during his brief stint as king. Destruction was knocking on the door while he partied.
1 Corinthians 8:1-13 Christian Liberty and Idolatry
Paul begins a new section here. While we don’t know the exact question he is responding to, it apparently has to do with Christian Liberty regarding former habits and lifestyle choices.
