Description
Welcome to “The Search.” The purpose of this program is to explore the proper method of examining the Bible to discover its meaning. We believe that the meaning of Scripture is synonymous with the truth and that loyalty to Christ involves the relentless pursuit of that meaning—both to know it and to be transformed by it.

In the ancient world sharing a meal was considered a core element of fellowship. This concept of Table Fellowship has significant impact on Paul's letter to the Corinthians with respect to the problem of attending idol feasts as well as Paul's theology of the Lord's Supper. This special study explores Table Fellowship as it relates to 1 Corinthians 10-11.----------------------------Please follow us on these platforms:Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@JointhesearchTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jointhesearchInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jointhesearchtodayFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jointhesearchtoday
In this section of 1 Corinthians 10, Paul finally concludes his argument against the idol temple. While some of the Corinthians believed attending idol feasts was morally neutral, Paul exposes the true power behind pagan worship and makes it clear that Christians have no business participating in idolatry.----------------------------Please follow us on these platforms:Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@JointhesearchTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jointhesearchInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jointhesearchtodayFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jointhesearchtoday
There were many striking parallels between ancient Israel and the Corinthians. These similarities were explained by Paul in order to convince the Corinthians that their flirtation with idolatry would have the same ruinous impact on them as it did on the Israelites. The Corinthians needed to learn from history.----------------------------Please follow us on these platforms:Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@JointhesearchTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jointhesearchInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jointhesearchtodayFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jointhesearchtoday
Paul contended that some of the Corinthians were failing to lovingly consider the scruples of their conscientious brethren in 1 Corinthians 8. In chapter 9 he continued this line of thought by offering himself as an example of someone who was always willing to adjust his own behavior for others so that he might win them for Christ.----------------------------Please follow us on these platforms:Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@JointhesearchTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jointhesearchInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jointhesearchtodayFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jointhesearchtoday
1 Corinthians 8-10 is all about idolatry. Specifically, Paul addresses the question of whether or not it is permissible for Christians to attend feasts held in an idol temple. His approach to this subject is multi-faceted, and it all starts in chapter 8 where the apostle contrasts knowledge and love.----------------------------Please follow us on these platforms:Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@JointhesearchTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jointhesearchInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jointhesearchtodayFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jointhesearchtoday
Paul continues to address what people should do about their social situations after they become followers of Jesus. What should slaves, circumcised/uncircumcised, or single/widowed Christians do?

The Corinthians who heard Paul's preaching and became believers had come from all walks of life. Some were betrothed or married while others were single or widowed. Some were Jewish and others were Gentiles, and some were slaves while others were free. How should these new Christians view their unique circumstances now that they belong to Christ? This is what 1 Corinthians 7 is all about.----------------------------Please follow us on these platforms:Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@JointhesearchTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jointhesearchInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jointhesearchtodayFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jointhesearchtodayYou can email us at thesearchwithclintandshahe@gmail.com
What is the proper use of the bodies of believers? Does God care about what Christians do with their bodies? And most importantly, what has God done for those who belong to Christ that indicates how He feels about their bodies? These are important questions Paul answers in the second half of 1 Corinthians 6.----------------------------Please follow us on these platforms:Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@JointhesearchTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jointhesearchInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jointhesearchtodayFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jointhesearchtoday
What happens when Christians allow trivial matters to become giant problems? Who is responsible for mediating and resolving such disputes between believers? Paul will discuss these questions with regards to the Corinthians who were taking their petty squabbles to unjust judges rather than their congregation for resolution.----------------------------Please follow us on these platforms:Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@JointhesearchTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jointhesearchInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jointhesearchtodayFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jointhesearchtodayYou can email us at thesearchwithclintandshahe@gmail.com
How do congregations deal with children of God who are living like children of the devil? In 1 Corinthians 5 Paul raised an issue he had learned about where a man was committing unrepentant sexual immorality at Corinth. Just as alarming as this man's behavior was the response from the Corinthians. Paul lays out how he expected the Corinthians to handle this crisis.----------------------------Please follow us on these platforms:Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@JointhesearchTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jointhesearchInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jointhesearchtodayFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jointhesearchtoday
It was wrong for the Corinthians to ally themselves with their favorite leader, but it was equally wrong that some of them entirely rejected Paul. Instead, Paul tries to establish a middle ground where leaders are respected for their work but not overly esteemed in a schismatic way.----------------------------Please follow us on these platforms:Podcast: https://thesearch.buzzsprout.com/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jointhesearchInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jointhesearchtodayFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jointhesearchtodayYou can email us at thesearchwithclintandshahe@gmail.com
There is something sacred about congregations of Christians. Paul will describe that sacredness by using three illustrations that draw on the Hebrew Scriptures in powerful ways.

How was the message of the cross, so central to Paul's preaching, revealed to humans? And what does Paul mean when he contrasts natural people against spiritual people? 1 Corinthians 2 is all about having the mind of Christ and it is central to Paul's pro-unity argument.----------------------------Please follow us on these platforms:Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@JointhesearchTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jointhesearchInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jointhesearchtodayFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jointhesearchtoday
