Feb 13 — 1 Corinthians 10:23-11:1

Posted on February 12, 2007November 8, 2023 by Norm

SCRIPTURE: 1 Corinthians 10:23-11:1 OBSERVATION: Just because something is allowed, doesn’t mean its beneficial or helpful.

SCRIPTURE: 1 Corinthians 10:1-22 OBSERVATION: Paul uses OT Israel as an example for those who were too cocky and casual about dabbling in sinful, immoral practices.

SCRIPTURE: 1 Corinthians 9:19-27 OBSERVATION: Paul’s point is that though He is free in Christ from other peoples’ demands and expectations, he voluntarily becomes like others in order to win them to Christ.
