1 Corinthians 1:26-2:5
- Start your time by doing exactly what Paul exhorts the Corinthians to do at the beginning of this text: consider your calling, specifically what you were when you were called. What does this tell you about God’s character and what should that elicit in you?
- What are some things that we ought not boast in but often do? What are some things we ought to boast in?
- What is the doctrine of election? What is the biblical evidence for it? How is it misperceived? Why do so many have such a hard time with this thought? (Some help in understanding might be gained by reading both the previous posts entitled “Total Depravity” and “Unconditional Election” by Pastor Bryan at blog.lifelinecommunity.com)
- Discuss the three terms in vs. 30 that seem to be explaining Christ as the wisdom from God.
- Righteousness
- Holiness
- Redemption
- What do you make of Paul’s proclamation (2:1a), proposition (2:1b-2) and posture (2:3)? Discuss each. Read Acts 18:5-11, why do you think he describes himself as coming to them in weakness, fear and trembling?
- Pray for each other to be humble and make the Lord their boast. Thank God for His mercy and sovereignty in salvation.
