  • Always Seek Grace and Praise God. (1 Cor 1. 4-9)

Today, we continue our 40-day journey through 1 Corinthians—a letter for the modern church, if ever there was one.In this episode, we’ll witness something astonishing: Paul gives thanks for a church in crisis. Before addressing the many failings of the Corinthian believers, Paul stops to thank God for His grace at work in them—and in doing so, models how we too should begin not with condemnation, but with praise and confidence in God’s faithfulness.📄 Episode Notes: Passage: 1 Corinthians 1:4–9 Theme: Paul opens his letter to the fractured church in Corinth not with judgment, but with gratitude. He sees grace where others might only see failure—and calls us to do the same.Key Points:God’s grace is at work even in messy churches and messy lives.Spiritual gifts are signs of God’s generosity—not our superiority.The same God who calls us will also sustain and confirm us to the end.Fellowship with Christ is both a gift and a responsibility.Hope in God’s faithfulness is the anchor in the storms of spiritual immaturity and disorder.Takeaway Quote:“If God’s grace got you here, then God’s grace will get you home.”Reflection Questions:When was the last time you thanked God for someone, even when they were struggling?Are you confident that God will sustain you to the end? Why or why not?How can you actively pursue deeper fellowship with Christ today?📬 Subscribe & Share Don't forget to subscribe and share this podcast with friends or your church small group.

  • Pauls First Letter to the Corinthians. (1 Corinthians 1: 1-3)
    Send us a text Series: 1 Corinthians — A Letter for Our TimeWelcome to The Bible Project Daily Podcast. I’m Jeremy McCandless, and today we launch a brand new season as we begin our study through the Apostle Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians—chapter by chapter, verse by verse.Corinth was a messy church in a broken world. Sound familiar? That’s why this letter matters so much—because it speaks directly into the kind of cultural confusion and spiritual compromise we face today.Over the next approx 40 episodes, we’ll explore what it means to live a cross-shaped life, how to pursue unity in a divided age, and why the resurrection changes everything.Let’s begin this journey—together—to Corinth.📌 Episode NotesTitle: Introduction and Overview Text: 1 Corinthians 1:1–3 Theme: The Gospel Brings Order to a Disordered ChurchEpisode Summary: In this opening episode, we set the stage for our new study in 1 Corinthians. Corinth was a city of wealth, culture, and corruption—and the church Paul planted there mirrored many of its problems. But Paul doesn’t give up on them. Instead, he writes a bold and pastoral letter calling them (and us) back to Christ.We explore:Why Paul wrote this letter and whenThe moral and spiritual challenges facing the Corinthian churchThe message, structure, and purpose of the letterWhy this epistle is especially vital for the modern churchKey Message: The grace that saves us must also shape us.Key Verse:“To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be his holy people…” — 1 Corinthians 1:2Outline of the Letter (Preview):Divisions and Unity (Ch. 1–4)Church Discipline and Moral Issues (Ch. 5–6)Marriage and Singleness (Ch. 7)Christian Freedom and Conscience (Ch. 8–10)Worship and the Lord’s Supper (Ch. 11)Spiritual Gifts and Church Order (Ch. 12–14)The Resurrection (Ch. 15)Final Instructions (Ch. 16)Application: As we journey through 1 Corinthians, we’ll see that gospel transformation doesn’t just change what we believe—it reshapes how we live together as God’s people.Support the showTo listen to my monthly church history podcast, subscribe at; https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com For an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com

  • Superstition and Fear - Verses faith and Hope. (Berkeley, Voltaire, Descartes and The Enlightenment)
    Send us a textThis Episode was originally made available to my Patreon community on September 15, 2024.... I hope you find it interesting.Study Notes: "Superstition and Fear - Faith and Hope"Episode Overview:Key Topics:Definition and characteristics of superstition.The biblical definition of faith.The influence of superstition on modern life.Enlightenment perspectives on superstition and faith.Practical steps to cultivate biblical faith.Distinguishing Superstition from Faith:Superstition is an attempt to control uncertain circumstances through human means rather than trusting in God's sovereign will.Faith involves a relationship with God characterized by trust, obedience, and reliance on His wisdom and timing (Proverbs 3:5-6).Practical Steps to Cultivate Biblical Faith:Immerse Yourself in Scripture:Romans 10:17: "Faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ."Regularly read and meditate on the Bible.Pray Continually:Philippians 4:6-7: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."Use prayer to express trust in God and seek His guidance.Fellowship with Believers:Hebrews 10:24-25: "Consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together."Be part of a community for support and encouragement.Obey God's Commands:James 2:17: "Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead."Demonstrate faith through obedience and practical action.Conclusion:Understanding the difference between superstition and faith is essential for a vibrant and biblically grounded Christian life. Superstition seeks control through human means, while faith places trust in God's sovereignty. Cultivating a biblical faith involves immersing in Scripture, prayer, fellowship, and obedience to God's commands.Thank you for listening to this bonus episode. We hope it helps you grow in your understanding of faith and steer clear of superstitions that can subtly influence your life.Support the showTo listen to my monthly church history podcast, subscribe at; https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com For an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com
