  • The Message of Christianity (1 Corinthians 1:18-2:5)
    Send us a textWelcome to The Bible Project Daily Podcast—where we journey together through the whole Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. In today’s episode, we continue unpacking one of the most profound and challenging sections in all of Scripture.We’re looking at 1 Corinthians 1:18 through to 2:5, where the apostle Paul lays bare the very heart of the Christian faith: Christ crucified. This message—often seen as foolish by the world—is the very power and wisdom of God.But more than that, Paul shows us how the message of the cross levels all human pride, calls us to unity, and sets the foundation for true Christian living. Whether you're curious about Christianity or have been walking with Christ for years, this passage confronts and comforts in equal measure.📖 Episode Notes & Key Takeaways Theme: Why the message of the cross is central to Christian faith—and why it still offends.🧭 Summary:In today’s study, we explore Paul’s bold claim that the cross of Christ is the dividing line of human history and human hearts. For some, it is foolishness. For others, it is life itself.Paul reminds the Corinthians that God has deliberately designed salvation to overturn worldly categories of wisdom, power, and status. He chooses the weak, the lowly, and the despised—not the influential—to show that salvation is His doing, not ours.And Paul himself models this by preaching not with lofty speech or clever arguments, but with trembling and simplicity. Why? So that our faith rests not on human wisdom, but on God’s power.🔑 Key Verses:“The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” (1 Corinthians 1:18)“God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise…” (1 Corinthians 1:27)“I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.” (1 Corinthians 2:2)🧠 Reflection Questions:Do I ever judge spiritual truth by how clever or impressive it sounds rather than by its faithfulness to Christ?What does it mean to truly boast in the Lord—and not in human personalities or achievements?How does the message of the cross challenge my understanding of wisdom, power, and success?✝️ Application:Let’s stop dividing over leaders or preferences and focus instead on the heart of the gospel—Christ crucified. That message unites believers, humbles the proud, and transforms lives.Wherever you are today, whether you feel strong or weak, confident or broken, this message is for you.🙏 Final Thought:To the world, the cross looks like failure. But to those being saved, it is victory. It is wisdom. It is power. And it is ours, by grace, through faith.Thanks for listening—and if today’s episode encouraged you, consider sharing it with a friend, subscribing, or leaving a review.Support the showTo listen to my monthly church history podcast, subscribe at; https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com For an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com

  • Divisions in the Church. (1 Corinthians 1: 10-17)
    Send us a text🎙️ Welcome to The Bible Project Daily PodcastA journey through Scripture, one verse at a time, one chapter at a time, one book at a time.We’re currently in a brand-new season exploring Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians. This powerful letter, written to a divided church in a diverse and challenging city, has relevance for the church today.📖 Today’s Episode:Divisions in the Church Text: 1 Corinthians 1:10–17In this episode, we examine one of the early church’s most pressing problems—division—and Paul’s urgent plea for unity centered on Jesus Christ. The Corinthian church was rich in spiritual gifts but poor in spiritual unity, as believers began to rally around human leaders rather than the cross.We’ll unpack what Paul means when he says, “Is Christ divided?” and reflect on how the modern church still wrestles with similar fractures. This episode challenges us to lay down personal preferences, reject personality cults, and return to the only unifying center we truly have: Christ and Him crucified.📝 Episode Notes📌 Key Themes:Unity over Uniformity: Paul calls for deep, Christ-centered unity—not sameness, but spiritual harmony rooted in the gospel.The Danger of Personality Cults: Loyalty to human leaders threatened to eclipse loyalty to Christ. Paul exposes this as foolish and spiritually dangerous.Gospel-Centered Identity: Our identity is not in Paul, Apollos, Peter—or any preacher—but in Jesus alone.The Mind of Christ: True unity flows from adopting the servant-hearted, humble attitude of Christ (Philippians 2:5–8).Cross over Cleverness: Paul refuses to preach with worldly eloquence lest the cross be emptied of its power. The gospel must remain unembellished and central.🧠 Reflection Questions:Are there ways I’ve aligned more with a leader or tradition than with Christ Himself?Do I approach church with a consumer mindset or a servant heart?How can I personally contribute to unity in my church, my family, and my community?What does it mean for me to have “the mind of Christ” in daily relationships?🙏 Application:Ask God to help you discern whether your spiritual loyalty lies more with human leaders or with Christ.Seek reconciliation in areas where personal preference or pride may have caused division.Embrace a servant mindset in your home and church community—not to be served, but to serve.📡 Connect & SubscribeIf you found this episode meaningful, subscribe to The Bible Project Daily Podcast and journey with us through 1 Corinthians.
