Don’t Arouse the Lord’s Jealousy
March 8, 2010 · Filed Under Sermon Study Guides
1 Corinthians 10:14-11:1
- How does this section relate to the whole unit of 8:1-11:1?
- Read through this section of Scripture and through 1 Corinthians 6:12-20. What parallels do you see between the two texts? Do you have any thoughts as to why the texts have these parallels?
- Think about the use of terms like “participation”, “participate”, “partake” and “have a part” in vs. 16-21. What is meant by these terms? Specifically, what is meant by them as applied to the Lord’s Supper, OT sacrifices and demons?
- Why is it alright for God to be a “jealous” God? In what way is He jealous? Can you think of any human parallels where jealousy is appropriate? What distinguishes them from an inappropriate jealousy? (cf. Ex. 34:14; Dt. 4:24)
- What are some “sticky situations” you can think of in our setting and culture where this text might find helpful application? Be sure to think in terms of the “guiding principles” mentioned at the end of the sermon.
- Formulate your own question from this text to share with the group:
- Pray discernment in applying this text in our present setting. Pray that God would have our full allegiance.
