Introduction to 1 Corinthians
An introduction to Paul’s first epistle to the Corinthians.
The Creation of Woman | Genesis 2:10-25
After God formed a place where the man could have fellowship with Him (the Garden in Eden), we are introduced to two trees – the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Adam (alone) is commanded not to eat of the tree of knowledge. God then proceeds to allow him to name all of the animals, indicating his authority over the earth. In doing so, he also allows him to see his uniqueness and aloneness. So, He proceeds to make him a suitable companion – Eve.
The Days of Creation 5-7 | Genesis 1:20-2:3
We continue our exploration of the days of Creation with days 5 through 7. The key day is day six, when God creates man. So, we see that everything in creation was done for man. (Psalm 8)
The Days of Creation 1-4 | Genesis 1:3-19
After the chaos of the original creation, God begins the restoration of the universe. But this time, the world is being remade for humanity. So, on the first day He restores the lights of the heavens. On the second day He pulled back the waters of the first worldwide flood (deluge). And on day three He created vegetation. Then on the fourth day God set the stars and planetary bodies.
Women Teach Angels | 1 Corinthians 11:10
In 1 Corinthians 11:1-16, the Apostle Paul commended the Corinthian church for remembering the traditions and practices that he taught them. However, they failed to continue practicing one thing: the women did not cover their heads when praying or prophesying. Paul explained principally why this should be done; and then he proceeded to tell them why the women should do this. And he said, “because of the angels”. What did he mean by this?
