The wearing of head covers by men and women and the eating of the Lord’s supper or communion were topics the Corinthian assembly wanted Paul to address. This was based on their communication to him. Paul seemingly had insight and knowledge of what was going on amongst the Saints in Corinth. In this letter to them, he provided them with his own wisdom and Instructions he had received from the Lord Yeshua.

There Is No Resurrection?
June 22, 2024 • Arthur Bailey • 1 Corinthians 15:1–34
The resurrection of the dead was a matter of grave concern in the Corinthian assembly. Resurrection deniers amongst the brethren in Corinth put the foundation of the Gospel of the Kingdom, the Gospel Messiah taught, at risk and undermined the preaching of the Gospel, the salvation experience, and the hope of eternal life. Additionally, the corrupted teaching against the resurrection caused the character of some to be corrupted, leading them away from righteous living to a sinful lifestyle.
Prophecy, Tongues & Orderly Worship
June 15, 2024 • Arthur Bailey • 1 Corinthians 14
Yeshua told His followers that they “will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Inclusive of the promised Holy Spirit are the gifts of the Spirit including prophecy and tongues. Paul gives further instructions on operating in the gifts in an orderly fashion during worship including his position on women’s roles when the Saints assemble.
Faith, Hope and Love
June 8, 2024 • Arthur Bailey • 1 Corinthians 13
Speaking in tongues, the gift of prophecy, words of knowledge, faith, and other gifts of the Spirit are extremely essential to the individual Believer and the Body of Messiah as a whole. The manifestations of these gifts in the Assembly amongst the Believers assists, builds, heals, encourages and grows the set apart ones into maturity in faith in Messiah. Equally as important as the manifestations of the gifts of the Spirit in the Assembly are Believers operating these gifts in love.
