1 Corinthians

Today's Reading:
1 Corinthians 3-4

We began reading First Corinthians yesterday and I wish that I could have made an entry, but my computer at home was not cooperating, so I'm taking my lunch break here at work to write.
1 Corinthians is a valuable book to the church, for it is in this letter to the church at Corinth that Paul addresses several issues that are still an issue in today's church. Chapter 2 is an important reminder to us of how we should do ministry: not in our own strength, but in the power and strength that we get from God's Spirit who lives in us. I would like to encourage you to go back and read chapter 2, two more times through. As you read through the remainder of this letter, please take note of the different themes and subjects that are addressed by Paul to the church. Try to relate these issues to our church, your small group and your life in relation to other believers. Jot down verses that can aid you in future situations in your area of ministry. There is a good amount of information to cover in this book, so read through it carefully and prayerfully!

PrayerPoint:
Pray for the leadership of our church.
