At risk of stealing thunder from a future sermon, I’m going to post something about 1 Corinthians 6:1-11 (mostly because I don’t plan on preaching anything from 1 Corinthians anytime soon).
Anyway, a while back I was meeting with a couple of guys to work with them on how to better study and interpret the Bible. And for a “practice” text, one of them suggested that we work through the first part of 1 Corinthians 6. Honestly, I love to study the Bible…but I was not sure how applicable studying this chapter would be to us and our goal of learning to interpret the Scriptures well. I thought something that had a little more “relevance” to us might be better. But I agreed to 1 Corinthians 6 as the passage for the next meeting’s discussion.
