Day By Day - 2 Corinthians 1
on July 6th, 2020
- By David Passmore - - Opening Thoughts: This letter was written by Paul between 55 and 56 AD. His theme was ‘powerful ministry through weak vessels.’ It was written in Macedonia, as a result of his first visit to Corinth which was ‘painful’ (2 Cor. 2:4), and it was delivered by Titus. This chapter consists of 5 main parts: His greeting: verses 1-2 Comfort in suffering: verses 3-7 Delivered from suffering: verses 8-11 Paul’s sincerity: verses 12-14 Sparing the church: verses 15-24  Read More
Day By Day - 1 Corinthians 16
on July 5th, 2020
- By Leanne Rich - Opening Thoughts: In this chapter, Paul gives some advice about serving and those in service. Firstly, he gives advice about how the church could contribute and bless others: to manage collections for the needy persecuted Christians in Jerusalem.

Love is the exquisite prize we run for. We hunt it down, capture it, engage in it and maintain every aspect of our Christian walk in it. Here is the reason for Paul’s coaching on love, our spiritual gifts are dependent upon it.   Read More
Day By Day - 1 Corinthians 13
on June 30th, 2020
- By Darryl Flaherty - Introduction: 1 Corinthians 13 is often called the love chapter. Verses 4 to 7 are without a doubt one of the most popular portions of scripture in the Bible. It’s often read at weddings, as the relatively short section of scripture, written by the Apostle Paul, perfectly summarises the power, characteristics and importance of love.  Read More
Day By Day - 1 Corinthians 12
on June 29th, 2020
- By Tom Mitchell - - Personal Thoughts: Chapter 12 begins with Paul expressing his desire for the church at Corinth not to be ignorant about his teachings of the Spiritual gifts. He goes on to describe the different types of gifts from the Holy Spirit. Paul continues with  Read More
