Lessons

The lesson on May 3, 2015 was part 27 of the “First Corinthians” study.  This lesson covers the impact of tradition amongst the Corinthian church during the Acts period. Paul begins chapter eleven with an appeal to the Corinthians that they use their talents to serve Christ by following him.  Paul was teaching what Christ had given him at that time which was the hope of Israel. Christ was waiting for the repentance of Israel during the book of Acts.  We learn about ordinances and traditions that we prominent at the church in Corinth.  Right division is so important because if you try to follow what is in the Corinthians letter vs. what is written for us after Acts 28, problems will arise because it won’t work!  We see how the ordinances they followed in Acts were shadows of the substance we now have!  We see this in Colossians 2:8-10 KJV.  The scripture reading was from 1 Corinthians 11:1-6 KJV

“1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. 2 Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you. 3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. 4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head. 5 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven. 6 For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.”
