    I Corinthians 12 | Spiritual Gifts, One Spirit, One Body | J. Dan Gill & Anthony Buzzard

    What are spiritual gifts, and why does God give them to His people? We dive into 1 Corinthians Chapter 12 to explore the gifts of God's Spirit, the importance of unity in the Church, and the unique role every believer plays in the body of Christ.

    I Corinthians 11 | God, Christ, Head Coverings & the Lord’s Supper | J. Dan Gill & Anthony Buzzard

    What does the Apostle Paul teach about the relationship between God and Jesus Christ, the role of women in worship, and the meaning of the Lord's Supper? In this episode, we examine 1 Corinthians Chapter 11 and explore some of its most frequently debated passages. Beginning with Paul's instruction to imitate Christ, we consider his declaration that "the head of Christ is God" (1 Corinthians 11:3). What does this statement reveal about the relationship between Jesus Christ and his Father? The discussion continues with Paul's teachings about head coverings, women's participation in prayer and prophecy, and the importance of understanding these instructions in their biblical context. In the second half, we explore the Lord's Supper, the New Covenant established through Jesus' blood, and Paul's serious warnings about division and mistreatment within the congregation. Special attention is given to the meaning of discerning Christ's body—not only remembering Jesus' sacrifice but also recognizing and honoring the brothers and sisters for whom he died. This chapter reminds us that true Christian worship involves much more than religious observance. It requires love, humility, unity, and faithfulness to God and His Son. Scripture Focus: 1 Corinthians 11:1–34 Key Themes: God the Father, Jesus Christ, biblical authority, head coverings, women in the church, the Lord's Supper, communion, the New Covenant, and Christian unity. Join us for a thoughtful, Scripture-centered examination of Paul's first letter to the Corinthians.

    1 Corinthians 10: Salvation, Temptation & Christian Freedom | J. Dan Gill & Anthony Buzzard

    Can Christians lose their salvation? How can believers overcome temptation? And what does it truly mean to live for the glory of God? In this episode of 21st Century Reformation, we explore 1 Corinthians Chapter 10 and the Apostle Paul's important teachings about faithfulness, idolatry, temptation, and Christian liberty. Drawing lessons from Israel's experiences in the wilderness, Paul reminds believers that receiving God's blessings does not eliminate the responsibility to remain faithful. His warnings challenge Christians to take obedience, repentance, and perseverance seriously. We also examine the often-debated statement that "the rock was Christ" (1 Corinthians 10:4), considering how biblical typology and foreshadowing help explain Paul's words. The conversation then turns to one of Scripture's most encouraging promises: God is faithful and will provide a way to endure temptation (1 Corinthians 10:13). Finally, we discuss Paul's practical instruction concerning Christian freedom, personal conscience, love for others, and the importance of doing everything for God's glory. Topics covered include: • The spiritual rock and the Messiah in 1 Corinthians 10:4 • Israel's wilderness experience as a warning to Christians • Salvation, perseverance, and the danger of falling away • God's faithfulness during temptation • Avoiding idolatry and remaining devoted to God • Christian liberty and consideration for others • Living wisely without unnecessary religious restrictions • Doing everything for God's glory (1 Corinthians 10:31) This thoughtful, Scripture-centered discussion encourages believers to follow Jesus Christ faithfully, pursue righteousness, and keep their hope fixed on God's coming Kingdom. Scripture Focus: 1 Corinthians 10:1–33 Additional Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 9, Romans 14, Colossians 2, and Isaiah 53. Join 21st Century Reformation as we continue examining Scripture, seeking biblical truth, and growing in our understanding of God, Jesus the Messiah, and the hope of the Kingdom of God.

    1 Corinthians 14 | Understanding Tongues, Prophecy & Orderly Worship | J. Dan Gill & Anthony Buzzard

    What is the purpose of speaking in tongues, and how should spiritual gifts function when Christians gather? In this episode of Bible Conversations, J. Dan Gill and Sir Anthony Buzzard explore 1 Corinthians 14, examining Paul’s instructions about tongues, interpretation, prophecy, and worship that strengthens the whole congregation. They discuss the connection between tongues in Acts and Corinth, praying with understanding, the impact of worship on unbelievers, and possible interpretations of the passage about women keeping silent in church. They also consider why possessing spiritual gifts does not automatically mean someone is spiritually mature. Throughout the conversation, one principle guides the discussion: pursue love and use God’s gifts to build up others. Explore more at https://21stcr.org.

    1 Corinthians 9: Christian Freedom & Running to Win | J. Dan Gill & Anthony Buzzard

    How can we use our Christian freedom to help others hear the gospel? And what does it mean to run the race of faith to win? In this episode of Bible Conversations, J. Dan Gill and Sir Anthony Buzzard explore 1 Corinthians Chapter 9. They discuss Paul’s defense of his apostleship, the right of gospel ministers to financial support, and why Paul willingly set aside that right in Corinth. The conversation also examines becoming “all things to all people,” living under the Law of Christ, and pursuing the imperishable prize through self-control and perseverance. They consider Paul’s warning about being disqualified and how it challenges “once saved, always saved.” Join us for a thoughtful discussion about serving others, putting the gospel first, and remaining faithful to Christ.
