    If we don't purify the church, God will

    Have you ever known anyone expelled from a church because of immoral behaviour? Perhaps that is because most churches simply gloss over Paul’s teaching here about how important it is to purify the church. If we don’t take this teaching seriously, then God will.

    How to avoid hypocrisy

    One of the most off-putting things about people is hypocrisy: we hate it when people say they believe one thing, but then do something completely different. This is doubly the case for Christians, where our lives should reflect God. What does that mean for us, and how can we avoid hypocrisy? Understand the Bible is a reader-supported publication.

    Growing to maturity in Christ

    Do we out-grow the gospel? Some Christians or churches give the impression that the gospel is there for the start of our lives but we move beyond it as we grow to maturity. But the truth is, we do not out-grow the gospel message of Christ crucified — in fact, it is how we grow. Understand the Bible is a reader-supported publication.

    How to find true wisdom

    Many people in the world have started to look for wisdom over the last few years. A lot of people have even turned to the Bible. But how do we really find wisdom? In this passage, Paul explains that there is a difference between godly wisdom and worldly wisdom — and he shows how we can get godly wisdom.

    Should I read the Bible in a year?

    One of the things I see regularly in the New Year is Christians saying that they’re going to try and read the whole Bible in a year. In my opinion, trying to read the Bible in a year is (probably) a bad idea — there’s something much more helpful you can do instead. You can find the What is Christianity? (Bible overview) course here. Understand the Bible is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

    God's Topsy-Turvy Wisdom

    In this passage, we see that the message of the cross looks different from where we are standing: the world thinks it is foolishness, whereas Christians see it as the power and wisdom of God. This has implications for what we believe about God and how he relates to us, and how we should live in the light of it. Understand the Bible is a reader-supported publication.

    How the gospel heals divisions

    We are living in a more divided time than ever — from the wider political realm to friendships and marriages. That makes this passage from 1 Corinthians 1 especially relevant to us: the message of unity through the gospel is one that we need to hear and take to heart.

    What does God want your plans to be?

    The start of a new year is an opportunity to make plans for the coming months. But few people — perhaps even Christians — stop to think: “What does God want my plans to be this year?” In this first sermon on 1 Corinthians, we think about what God wants from us and what that means for how we should live as we face the new year.
