Corinth: conflict and community

Shaftesbury Rd Family Camp, 26–28 February 2010

This is a study of the church at Corinth during the period when the apostle Paul visited them and wrote to them. I cover who they were and what was it like to be a believer in Corinth in the first few years after the church was formed. Particular issues include division and the Lord’s supper, chaos in the ecclesia, dealing with weak brethren, and Paul’s thorn in the flesh.

In this talk (given at the Dandenong Bible Education Centre), I explore the most important examples thereby providing explanations of several otherwise puzzling passages. The talk covers demons, Beelzebul, Belial, Satan as an “angel of light”, the “angels that sinned”, and the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. Read the rest of this entry »
