23.10.07 “Paul’s Odds & Ends” (1 Corinthians 16)

 

I wonder if you've ever come to the end of a phone call or letter or even a visit with someone and found you had some final 'odds and ends' to mention? Do they sometimes even seem unrelated to each other as you rattle these 'closing comments' off one after another? It seems to me that's what happened to our friend the apostle Paul. His closing chapters, of his first letter to his friends in Corinth, have been so focused, so powerful. Do you remember? * 1 Corinthians 12... all about Spiritual gifts and the diversity of the global church, the body of Christ.* 1 Cor. 13... the great LOVE chapter!* Chapter 14... clear instructions about orderly worship and the issue of tongues/languages and prophecies* Chapter 15... a very powerful explanation of God's perspective on death and God's gracious provision of immortality to us, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.  (Click here to see full text, images and links)  Today's Scripture is 1 Corinthians 16. Choose below to read or listen.​​ Pastor Doug Anderson “Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, with our eyes fixed on Jesus…” (Heb. 12:1,2) Have a comment or question about today’s chapter? I’m ready to hear from you, contact me here.
