| Being Unequally Yoked in Life ( 2 Cor 6:10-7:3) | 10 Oct 2025 | 00:25:54 | |
Have you ever subscribed to an online service, maybe a streaming platform or the like, and you seem to spend the rest of your days trying to cancel it? You sign up for a free trial and then after your 28 days your inbox is full of newsletters, and other ‘great’ upgrades. Annoying? Almost always. It can be dangerous to choose the easy option in life. And attending some churches, or following some online bible teachers, can be as spiritually risky. That’s bold language, I know. But I promise there’s wisdom behind it. That warning is exactly what the apostle Paul gives the Corinthians in the passage we’re unpacking today….

| Turning Problems into Opportunities. (2 Cor 6: 1-10) | 09 Oct 2025 | 00:29:32 | |
Have you ever noticed how God often hides His greatest opportunities inside what look like impossible situations? Paul reminds us that what we see as hardship and accusation, God often turns into moments of His greatest work. Remember—the wisdom of this world fades, but the message of the cross endures forever. Until next time, may you walk in the power of Christ crucified."

What it means to be an ambassador for Christ, carrying the message of reconciliation.

Episode Notes (Podcast Platforms) Title: How to Prevent Discouragement (2 Corinthians 4:16–5:10) Description: Life is full of pressures, weariness, and moments when discouragement presses hard.

| Preventing Discouragement – Part One (2 Cor 4: 16-18) | 03 Oct 2025 | 00:24:34 | |
Life has a way of wearing us down. Our bodies grow weaker, our circumstances press harder, and discouragement seems just around the corner. But the Apostle Paul shows us a different way — a way of renewal, hope, and courage. In this episode, we’ll explore Paul’s words in 2 Corinthians 4:16–18 and discover how to shift our focus from the temporary struggles of today to the eternal glory of tomorrow. We’ll see that every trial, every affliction, every moment of pressure isn’t wasted. Instead, it is producing for us “an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison.” The key is where we set our gaze: not on what is seen and passing, but on what is unseen and eternal. If you’ve ever felt fragile, weary, or on the edge of giving up, this message is for you. God has placed His treasure in clay jars like us, and though we may be cracked and chipped, His glory shines all the brighter through those cracks.

| The Purpose of Pressure in Our Life. (2 Cor 4: 7-15) | 02 Oct 2025 | 00:29:35 | |
Episode Notes: Modern living, in many ways, can be like living in a pressure cooker. And for those who follow Christ—especially if you are engaged in any kind of service or ministry—the pressures can multiply. Alongside the common struggles of life, there is the added weight of opposition, misunderstanding, criticism, and at times even persecution. If you’ve lived long enough in this world, you’ve likely found yourself asking, Why? Why does God allow me to live under such pressure? Why does He let the heat rise until I feel I can hardly endure it?....

| How to Prevent Deceitfulness. (2 Cor 4: 1-6) | 01 Oct 2025 | 00:29:34 | |
In this episode, “How to Prevent Deceitfulness” (2 Corinthians 4:1–6), we look at Paul’s call to integrity in ministry and life. The gospel is not something to be hidden, twisted, or diluted—it is the clear light of Christ shining into the darkness. Paul warns against deceit, dishonesty, and manipulation, and calls us instead to live and speak in the open truth of God’s Word. Join us as we explore how to guard against spiritual deception, why transparency matters, and how the glory of Christ illuminates the believer’s heart.

In Christ, the veil is lifted — we behold Him with unveiled faces and are transformed into His image from glory to glory. Join us as we explore the Spirit’s ministry of life and righteousness, and the bold freedom we have to proclaim Christ.

| A Christian Minister's Credentials. (2 Cor 3: 1-3) | 28 Sep 2025 | 00:26:57 | |
Suppose for a moment you were on a church committee, tasked with finding a new pastor. What would you look for? Most of us instinctively think of three things: ordination, maybe graduation from a Bible College, and a recommendation. Ordination indicates that other ministers have examined a man and found him to be in line with their doctrine. Graduation from a university or Bible college suggests he has academic ability. And then there are letters of recommendation, which usually prove one thing above all: that the man has friends willing to write good things about him! But do any of these really demonstrate the heart of a minister as described in the bible? Do they actually prove that that person has been called by the Holy Spirit and is trustworthy? That’s the question the Corinthians were asking of Paul. He was ordained by none other than the risen Christ Himself on the Damascus Road. He studied under a Rabii called Gamaliel, one of Israel’s most respected scholars. And he had believers across many churches who would gladly have written him glowing letters of recommendation. But when pressed, Paul didn’t actually point to any of those things. Instead, he pointed to something else entirely—something living, breathing, and far more compelling than a certificate or a commendation. He pointed to the people themselves.

| The Trials and Triumph in Ministry (2 Corinthians 2:12–17) + Q&A What Happens to the Body and Soul After Death. | 26 Sep 2025 | 00:34:22 | |
Episode Notes: In this passage, Paul reflects on the tension every servant of Christ feels—burdened with deep concern for people, yet buoyed by God’s unfailing triumph in Christ. Ministry is not for the faint of heart. It brings anxiety, questions of sufficiency, and moments of discouragement. But it also brings joy, thanksgiving, and the privilege of marching in Christ’s victory. In this episode, we look at what makes someone truly “sufficient” for ministry: not cleverness, money, or popularity, but godly sincerity and genuine love for Christ and His people. We’ll explore Paul’s contrast between false “peddlers” of the Word and faithful heralds of Christ, and we’ll discover how God’s triumph is shared by all who faithfully serve Him. The call is simple but profound: give yourself away in service to Christ, and you will share in His victory.

| The Forgiveness of Sinners. (2 Cor 2: 5-11) | 25 Sep 2025 | 00:29:48 | |
Episode Notes. Title: Forgiveness of Offenders – 2 Corinthians 2:5–11 In today’s episode, we read of Paul’s urgent call to forgive those who have repented. Writing to the Corinthians, Paul shows that forgiveness isn’t just a personal choice — it is a spiritual battle. To withhold forgiveness is to give Satan a foothold; but to forgive, comfort, and reaffirm love is to disarm the enemy and reflect the heart of Christ. We’ll see why forgiveness is central to Christian discipleship, how Satan exploits bitterness, and how we can walk in the freedom and joy of Christ’s victory.

| The Importance of Integrity (2 Cor: 1:12-2:4) | 24 Sep 2025 | 00:32:48 | |
Today we consider what I think is a very important aspect of the Christian ministry life: The importance of integrity. You see, when a messenger’s integrity is questioned, the message itself often comes under suspicion. I remember the first time I notice this happened was sobering. The integrity of the messenger is deeply tied to the credibility of the message. So, let me ask you: have you ever had your integrity questioned? Has someone ever doubted your character? Or perhaps you’ve wrestled with whether a leader you once trusted was truly living what they preached? And one of the clearest examples comes from the life of the apostle Paul, in and around this church he planted in the city of Corinth. Initially he spent about 18 months there to help it get established, but then he moved on. But after he left, serious problems arose among the believers. Paul then wrote a strong letter—what we know as 1 Corinthians—to confront those issues. At the end of that letter, he told them he planned to come back and visit. But during this between time false teachers crept in. They began attacking Paul personally. They questioned how he handled discipline in the church. They pointed out that he had promised to visit, but hadn’t yet arrived. “See?” they said, “You can’t trust this man. He says one thing and does another. He doesn’t really care about you—he’s just in it for himself.” Have you heard accusations like that before? Paul certainly had. And so, he wrote another letter—what we call 2 Corinthians—to defend both his ministry and his message.

| Why Me – Why Does God Allow Suffering? (2 Cor 1: 3-11) | 23 Sep 2025 | 00:29:23 | |
🎙️ Welcome Welcome to The Bible Project Daily Podcast — where we open God’s Word each day and walk together through the Scriptures. In this episode, we’re exploring 2 Corinthians 1:8–11, where Paul pulls back the curtain on his own suffering to show us a deeper truth: God allows trials not to crush us, but to teach us to rely on Him — the God who raises the dead. If you’ve ever felt at the end of yourself, this message might help. 📄 Episode Notes In today’s episode, “Why God Allows Trials”, we step into Paul’s experience in 2 Corinthians 1:8–11. Paul thought the end had come — but instead, he discovered the unshakable hope of God’s deliverance. We’ll explore:
This is a message of hope for anyone who feels overwhelmed. Yesterday, today, and tomorrow — God is faithful.

| 2 Corinthians – Introduction and Prologue - A Personal Warning from Paul. (1 Cor 1: 1-) | 22 Sep 2025 | 00:31:32 | |
In this opening episode, we begin our study through one of the most personal, passionate, and challenging letters Paul ever wrote. More than just theology, 2 Corinthians gives us a window into Paul’s heart — his care for people, his suffering in ministry, and his defense of true apostleship. Together, we’ll see how this letter speaks not only to an ancient church in crisis but also directly into our lives today. This series will help us see what faithful Christian ministry really looks like: caring for people, being comforted by God, and sometimes even standing firm when misunderstood. Stay with us across this series as we walk passage by passage through Paul’s words — words that still comfort, challenge, and transform today.

| The History of the Christian Church (Part 28) The Eastern Confession of Cyril Lucaris & The Synod of Jerusalem | 21 Sep 2025 | 00:35:11 | |
To listen to the complete series, so far, visit the podcast website. https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com Episode Notes. Season 2 Finale: The Eastern Confession of Cyril Lucaris & The Synod of Jerusalem (1672) In this final episode of Season Two of the History of the Church Podcast, we close our journey through the Eastern tradition by examining two defining documents: Cyril Lucaris’ Eastern Confession of the Christian Faith (1629) and the response of the Orthodox world in The Confession of Dositheus (1672). At stake were the deepest questions of authority, salvation, and the gospel itself. Was the East to move closer to Reformed Protestantism, with Scripture at the center, as Lucaris urged? Or would it anchor itself firmly in tradition, sacramentalism, and church authority, as Dositheus declared? These debates remind us that the gospel is never preserved by accident. Each generation must ask again: what is the foundation of our faith — the Word of God, or the shifting judgments of men? As evangelicals, we find much to appreciate and much to critique in these confessions. But above all, we are reminded of Jude’s charge to “contend for the faith once delivered to the saints” — a call as urgent today as it was in the seventeenth century. Season three coming soon: As Season Two ends, we turn now from the Eastern world to the Western Middle Ages. Season Three — The Medieval West, 500–1500 A.D. — will explore the rise of monasticism, the papacy, scholasticism, corruption, reform, and the movements that prepared the way for Luther and Calvin. Join us as we cross into a new chapter of church history — and discover how God was at work even in the darkest of centuries, preserving His Word and preparing His Church.

This bonus episode was originally posted as a Patron-only bonus episode on Patreon on November 17, 2024. I hope you enjoy it. explores the life and theories of Abraham Maslow, a prominent psychologist known for his "Hierarchy of Needs" theory and This special episode delves into the life and theories of Abraham Maslow, a renowned psychologist who is famous for his "Hierarchy of Needs" theory and his contributions to the field of "Humanistic Psychology." In it, I examine the intersection of Maslow’s ideas with Christian principles, analyzing how concepts such as self-actualization and human potential align with the biblical view of human nature, purpose, and fulfillment. I also discuss Maslow’s later work in transpersonal psychology, in which he explored mystical and spiritual experiences, and I critique this, as well as his controversial views on eugenics. Finally, I conclude by arguing that a Christian worldview provides a more comprehensive understanding of human flourishing than Maslow’s theories alone.

| Love Meets on the Threshing Floor. (Ruth 3: 1-18) | 15 Sep 2025 | 00:29:15 | |
Have you ever faced a moment where you weren’t sure if you were staring at an amazing opportunity—or a potential disaster? Life is full of those moments, like that, isn’t it? Times when we have to make decisions without knowing how things will turn out. That’s the very tension we find in Ruth chapter 3. Ruth and Naomi are facing another turning point—an opportunity that could change everything, or a step that could leave Ruth exposed and vulnerable. Naomi has a plan, but Ruth has a choice, and Boaz also has a role to play that will unfold in ways neither of these women could fully predict. So, let’s open Ruth chapter 3 together and see how God uses this midnight encounter on a threshing floor to teach us about faith, character, and what it looks like to walk into uncertain moments with trust in His hand of providence….

Episode Title: How to Always Keep Your Life Going in The Right Direction. In Ruth chapter 2, we see the beauty of kindness at work.

This episode explores how small acts of love and mercy can open the way to God’s blessings, shaping not just our lives but the lives of those around us. Which road are you on—the path of self-interest, or the road of kindness and service? Scripture reminds us, “mercy triumphs over judgment” (James 2:13). Join me as we learn from Ruth’s example and discover the direction God calls us to walk: the way of kindness, mercy, and Christlike love.

| The Book of Ruth - Redemption Revealed. (Complete Overview of the Entire Book) | 09 Sep 2025 | 00:31:16 | |
Overview: The book of Ruth is more than a love story set in the days of the Judges. At one level, the story is about Ruth, a Moabite widow who chose to follow her mother-in-law Naomi back to Bethlehem. She was a stranger, an outsider, under the condemnation of the Law — for Deuteronomy tells us that no Moabite could enter the assembly of the Lord. And yet Ruth was redeemed by a near-kinsman. This is the heart of the book: redemption through a kinsman. In Exodus, Israel was redeemed by the blood of a lamb. In Ruth, redemption comes through a near-kinsman. The New Testament brings these together in Jesus Christ, who alone qualifies for both. He is our near-kinsman — fully human, the Son of Man — and He is also the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29). Ruth also serves a greater purpose: it introduces us to the line of David, which ultimately identifies the line of the Messiah. Ruth’s story is the missing link that ties the promises of Judah to the kingdom of David, and from David to the true King, great David’s greater Son, Jesus Christ. But the message is not just about genealogy or law. It is also about what it means to live faithfully. Ruth’s quiet trust in God, her kindness to Naomi, and her courage to step into the unknown all show us that simple faith and steadfast love still go a long way in living a life pleasing to God. So, when we read Ruth, we see the gospel in miniature: the outsider brought near, the hopeless given hope, and the Redeemer stepping in to claim what was lost.

| The History of the Christian Church. (Part 27.) Finding God in the Silence. Gregory Palamas. | 03 Sep 2025 | 00:20:37 | |
This is a bonus episode of the latest episode of my monthly church history podcast. To binge the entire series, visit; https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com Finding God in the Silence: Gregory Palamas In this episode of the History of the Christian Church podcast, we turn to the 14th century and meet one of the most influential voices of Eastern Christianity: Gregory Palamas. A monk, mystic, and defender of Hesychasm, Palamas taught that the path to God is found not only in theology and doctrine, but in prayer, silence, and communion with the divine. His distinction between the “essence” and “energies” of God became a cornerstone of Orthodox theology. But how should evangelical Christians view Palamas today? Can we learn from his emphasis on prayer and communion with God while still holding firmly to the sufficiency of Scripture and the finished work of Christ? Join us as we explore his life, his teaching, and why he still matters.

| 1 Corinthians – A Review of the Complete Book. | 02 Sep 2025 | 00:34:59 | |
Welcome back, friends. Today, we’re wrapping up our series on 1 Corinthians with what I’m calling “A Book Review.” If there’s any church in the New Testament that feels like it could be dropped right into the modern world, it’s the church at Corinth. Because of the issues they were facing then? They’re the very same issues the church faces today.

| What To Do In The Middle of a Mess. (1 Cor 16: 13-24) | 01 Sep 2025 | 00:31:55 | |
Episode Notes: Churches are messy. Families are messy. Life is messy. But Paul’s closing words to the Corinthians give us something better: five short commands that can anchor us in the middle of chaos. In this episode, we’ll explore how to:
Because love is what keeps us from being consumed by the mess. Key Scripture: “Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love.” Takeaway: Don’t let the mess make you bitter. Let it make you better at loving people.

| Following the Plans and Path of God. (1 Cor 16: 5-12) | 29 Aug 2025 | 00:27:56 | |
Welcome: When Paul begins to closes his letter to the Corinthians, he includes what looks like a simple travel log — where he plans to go, who he plans to send, and how long he’ll stay. At first glance, it feels ordinary. But hidden in those details is a surprisingly practical lesson on how Christians should make decisions. In this episode, we’ll explore:
Paul shows us that decision-making isn’t about waiting for a mystical sign at every crossroads. Instead, it’s about living wisely, faithfully, and with open hands — seeking God’s kingdom above all, but also using the common sense He gave us. Takeaway: The Christian life is both spiritual and practical. Make your plans with wisdom, but hold them lightly, always ready to say, “If the Lord wills.” To 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;|Patreon | |||
| The Question of Giving. (1 Cor 16: 1-4) | 28 Aug 2025 | 00:29:45 | |
In this episode, we step into the final chapter of 1 Corinthians, where Paul turns to a very practical subject: Money. In just four verses, he lays out a Spirit-inspired pattern for giving that still speaks powerfully today. Key Takeaways
Application Paul’s message is simple: you need a plan. Not just a vague idea, not a last-minute gift under pressure — but a thoughtful, regular, intentional plan for how you give.
Encouragement Because Christ is risen, our giving isn’t in vain. We live with resurrection hope.

| How To Obtain a Perfect Body. (1 Cor 15: 50-58) | 26 Aug 2025 | 00:31:36 | |
It began with a doubt in the Corinthian church — is there really a resurrection of the dead? That doubt spread into denial, and eventually divided the believers. So, they turned to Paul, and his sweeping answer in 1 Corinthians 15 leaves no room for uncertainty:
Paul closes with both encouragement and challenge: “Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labour in the Lord is not in vain.” (v. 58) This episode explores the mystery, the triumph, and the hope of the resurrection — and why it should move us to godly living, courageous faith, and overflowing service for Christ.

| Our Promise of Resurrection ( 1 Cor 15: 35-49) | 26 Aug 2025 | 00:29:36 | |
Episode Notes:
In this message, we explore three of Paul’s strange but powerful arguments for the resurrection — ones you won’t often hear in an apologetics book, but that cut straight to how we live, who we walk with, and what we’re willing to risk for Christ. Paul’s logic is simple but searching: if there is no resurrection, then why endure suffering, why pursue holiness, why sacrifice for the gospel? But if there is a resurrection — and there is — then everything changes. Belief in the resurrection isn’t just about proving a point — it’s about shaping a life. Because if Christ is risen, then living for Him is not only worth it — it’s the only thing that makes sense.

| The Reality of Our Resurrection. (1 Cor 15: 20-28) | 22 Aug 2025 | 00:25:52 | |
The Reality of Our Resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:20–28) Death comes to us all — one out of one. And yet, Scripture declares that death is not the end. In this message, we turn to 1 Corinthians 15:20–28, where Paul shows us that Christ’s resurrection is both the guarantee of our resurrection and the promise of His final victory over every enemy, including death itself. In this episode, you’ll discover:
Because Christ is risen, we can live with confidence, hope, and assurance: there is more beyond.

| The Crux of Christianity. (1 Corinthians 15: 12–19) | 21 Aug 2025 | 00:25:45 | |
What is the heart of Christianity?
The true heartbeat of our faith is the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Without it, Paul says, Christianity collapses. Preaching is empty, faith is futile, sins remain unforgiven, and hope is lost. In short, no resurrection, no Christianity. In this episode, we walk through Paul’s seven devastating consequences of a resurrection-less faith — and then we hear his great reversal: “But now Christ is risen from the dead.” And because Christ lives:
The resurrection isn’t just a doctrine to believe — it’s the heartbeat of Christianity, the foundation of our hope, and the guarantee of eternal life. Christ is risen — and because He lives, so shall we.

| The Risen Lord (1 Corinthians 15: 1-11) | 20 Aug 2025 | 00:25:41 | |
What if you saw a headline that read: "Man Returns from Dead, Witnessed by Hundreds"? In this episode, we explore Paul’s eyewitness account of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, not as a myth or metaphor, but as the concrete, historical act of God that changed everything—past, present, and future. Through Peter’s restoration, Paul’s transformation, and the testimony of hundreds of witnesses, we see how the risen Christ is not a relic of the past but a living Lord who can stand us on our feet again when life knocks us down. Discover how the resurrection gives us stability in a slippery world, hope in the face of death, and a future that’s more certain than tomorrow’s headlines. Christ is risen—and that means your faith is not in vain.

| Good Order in Our Church Services. (1 Cor 14: 24-40) | 18 Aug 2025 | 00:33:06 | |
Welcome back to the podcast! In this episode, we’re stepping into the closing section of 1 Corinthians 14 to tackle a challenging but essential topic: order in the church. From ancient Corinth to our modern congregations, the same struggles show up — division, misuse of spiritual gifts, and confusion about worship. We’ll unpack why God calls His people to worship in a way that builds up the whole body, explore what Paul means about tongues, prophecy, and even that controversial instruction about women in the assembly, and see how it all fits within the bigger picture of unity and love. This isn’t about personal preference — it’s about submitting to the wisdom of God’s Word and pursuing the kind of worship that truly honours Him. 📄 Episode Notes – “Good Order in Our Church Services” (1 Corinthians 14:24–40) Main Idea: Key Themes:

| The Purpose of The Gifts of the Spirit. (1 Cor 14: 20-25) | 15 Aug 2025 | 00:27:45 | |
Few topics in the church spark as much debate as the gifts of the Spirit, and particularly that of speaking in tongues. Is it a private prayer language? A sign of the Holy Spirit’s baptism? A tool for evangelism? Or something else entirely? In this episode, I try and go beyond traditions and opinions to see what the Bible says. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 14 and the prophecy of Isaiah 28, we explore the original, God-given purpose of tongues — and why using them outside that purpose can confuse rather than build up. We’ll see how Paul contrasts tongues with prophecy, why clarity matters in the gathered church, and how Spirit-led teaching can bring conviction, revelation, and worship. And along the way, we’ll discover that tongues aren’t about spiritual showmanship, but about God’s unstoppable desire to make His message heard — in every language, to every heart.

| Should All Believers Seek the 'Baptism of the Holy Spirit'. (1 Cor 12: 12-31) | 12 Aug 2025 | 00:30:49 | |
Welcome Welcome back to the podcast! In this episode, we're diving back into our series on 1 Corinthians, picking up where we left off in Chapter 12. Paul's letter to the Corinthian church is more than just a theological discussion; it's a practical guide for how believers should function as a unified body. The Corinthians were struggling with the use of spiritual gifts, especially the gift of tongues, and Paul's response gives us a foundational understanding of the church, unity, and the diverse roles we all play. Today, we'll explore Paul's powerful metaphor of the church as a human body. We'll see how unity and diversity aren't opposites, but are designed by God to work together. We'll also tackle some big questions, including what the Bible says about the baptism of the Holy Spirit and whether all believers should speak in tongues. Join us as we uncover the value of every member of Christ's body and celebrating the unique, God-given variety that makes the church alive and whole. Episode Notes This episode covers 1 Corinthians 12:1-10 and explores the core teachings on the body of Christ and spiritual gifts. Key Takeaways:

Episode Notes: Scripture Focus: “If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love…” (1 Cor 13:1) Overview: Today, we explore the contrast between spiritual gifts and spiritual fruit. Paul’s words cut through eloquence, prophecy, and sacrifice to reveal the one thing that gives all things meaning: love.

| The Spirit Gives, the Church Receives. Understanding Spiritual Gifts (1 Cor 12: 1-11 | 11 Aug 2025 | 00:33:54 | |
Welcome: Today, we begin a new section in Paul’s letter to the Corinthians—one that has stirred conversation, confusion, and often controversy in the church: Spiritual gifts. But Paul’s goal here isn’t confusion. It’s clarity, unity, and edification. In these opening verses of chapter 12, Paul reminds us that every spiritual gift—no matter how ordinary or extraordinary—comes from the same Spirit, serves the same Lord, and works toward the same goal: the building up of the body of Christ. If you’ve ever wondered about your spiritual gifts or how to use them in your church community, this episode is for you. Episode Notes: Passage: 1 Corinthians 12:1–11 Summary:
Key Verses: “There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them.” (1 Cor 12:4)“Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.” (1 Cor 12:7) Takeaway:

| When Communion Becomes Dangerous. (1 Corinthians 11: 17-34) | 08 Aug 2025 | 00:27:49 | |
Welcome back to The Bible Project Daily Podcast. Today we’re exploring one of the most sobering of teachings found in the New Testament—Paul’s shocking warning about the Lord’s Supper in 1 Corinthians 11. You may have heard these verses read many times during Communion, but Paul didn’t write them for tradition—he wrote them in response to a crisis. A broken church had turned the Lord’s Table into a place of division and pride. Paul’s words remind us that this simple act—bread and wine—is a proclamation of the Gospel. And how we come to the Table either honours or denies what Jesus has done. So let’s slow down, open our hearts, and remember: this Table is holy ground. Episode Notes: Passage: 1 Corinthians 11:17–34 Summary:
Key Verses: “Whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord.” (1 Cor 11:27)“Do this in remembrance of Me.” (1 Cor 11:24–25) Takeaway: To 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;|Patreon | |||

Episode Notes: Passage: 1 Corinthians 11:2–16 Summary:
Key Verses: “I want you to realise that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.” (1 Cor 11:3)“Because of the angels.” (1 Cor 11:10) Takeaway: To 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;|Patreon | |||
| Can I or Can't I? (1 Cor 10: 14-33) | 06 Aug 2025 | 00:30:29 | |
Welcome: What do you do when the Bible doesn’t give a clear “yes” or “no”? In this episode of The Bible Project Daily Podcast, we unpack Paul’s answer to one of the most practical questions in 1 Corinthians: “Can I, or can’t I?” As Paul deals with eating food offered to idols, he also gives us more timeless principles for navigating the grey areas of the Christian life. Join us as we discover how freedom, love, and the glory of God shape every choice we make. Episode Notes: Passage: 1 Corinthians 10:14–33 Summary:
