1 Corinthians 2 – How the Holy Spirit works

Paul has some surprising things to say about what is Christian wisdom, maturity, and freedom. The Corinthians should have matured but were still acting like unbelievers. Why? And how can we avoid being like that?  (Erik Pattison, 20 March 2022.  Bible reading by Anna Workman)

1 Corinthians 1:18 – 2:5 – The Wisdom of the Cross

God's strategy is very surprising. He uses what the world thinks is nothing to destroy what the world thinks is important.  God can even use you. 

What are we trusting in?
Are we surrendered to his way?
Do we accept that God can be glorified in our life?
And do we rely on him?

Is there anything you need to do in response to the call of God? (Bex White, 27 February 2022. Bible reading by Lesley Goddard.)

Ephesians 5:12-33 – Church is more than a phase

To understand this passage, start from the end. It is written for all of us, and Paul's point is that marriage is something like Church.  "Here Comes the Church!"  In what ways do you see Jesus washing, cleansing and making his church spotless?  (John Day, 13 February 2022)
