The second letter to the Corinthians comes to a close, and so does our study of this wonderful book. Though it has been challenging at times, the ending of the book is fairly straightforward, with a five-fold charge that is meaningful for Christians in any age.

In a Psalm that inspired Martin Luther to pen the words of the hymn “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God” we are reminded of God’s love and care for his people. God is so great, and no enemy of man can overcome Him. And if we are on His side, we have him as our refuge and our fortress.

Proverbs is a book of wisdom. But we don’t study wisdom from wisdom’s sake alone, but because having wisdom is a blessing to us. In this week’s passage we notice how wisdom helps with our understanding and judgement, and keeps us from the paths of wickedness.

Once we know what we want to do, and we have our tools ready, it is time to sit down and study God’s Word. But how do we get started? There are a number of practical things to consider, from the time and place, to exactly what kind of study you want to engage in. In this lesson (and it’s follow up) we examine some thoughts about getting started.

As the apostle Paul prepared for another visit to the church in Corinth, he wanted them to be prepared as well. Being nervous about what he would find, he encouraged them to repent of any sin so that when he did arrive, the reunion would be a joyous one.

This special class asks us to examine one of the qualities that Paul lists in Galatians 5 in the section about “The Fruit of the Spirit.” It is a reminder of how much the quality is needed, and what we can do to cultivate this fruit in our lives.

This class was a very hands on examination of some of the tools of Bible study we had discussed in previous lessons. Though this audio recording may be useful, one would be most benefited, perhaps, by finding the video on our Youtube page and following along.

The apostle Paul’s love and concern for the brethren in Corinth is seen in these verses, as it is throughout the letter. He thinks of himself as, and cares for them, as a loving father who wants what is best for his children.

Mary and Martha were a pair of sisters (along with their brother Lazarus) who knew Jesus well. In Luke 10, our first proper introduction to the sisters, the two are complete opposites in terms of the situation at hand. While Mary sits and Jesus’ feat, Martha is being trying to show hospitality, serving the Lord and his disciples, and desiring fairness, wanting her sister to help too. While these things should not have been neglected, it was Mary who had recognized what is necessary, to sit at the feet of Jesus and learn from him.
