All in This Together

In this passage the body of Christ is not bread but a community of believers. all are joined together and each is essential. There are two serious errors to be avoided - discounting oneself ("because I am not...") and discounting others ("I have no need of you").

Scripture References: 1 Corinthians 12:12-27

From Series: "Body. Life."

This sermon series picks up where we left off in February 2012 in the series "Moving on to Maturity" - in the middle of chapter six of 1 Corinthians. As we move selectively through the remaining ten chapters of the letter, we will use Paul's discussion of 'body' (Greek, soma) in its various meanings to choose passages for study. First, we'll consider the use of the word 'soma' to describe our ordinary human body (especially its sexual capacity), "the body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord." Further on, 'soma' signifies the bread of the communion table, "this is my body which is for you." and shortly after, the apostle declares of the church community, "you are the body of Christ." Finally in chapter 15 we read, "the body...is raised imperishable." These texts offer direct instruction and suggest wonderful implications. We should choose obedience and embrace opportunity. 'The Lord is for the body'. Let's not miss out.

Tips

  • Enter multiple search parameters to narrow the list to sermons matching all of them. For example, choose
    • Book: Psalms
    • Speaker: Stedman, Ray
      to see sermons by Ray Stedman that also have a specific reference in the Psalms.
  • Click on the Clear Filters button to see the whole list again. If you are getting no results, make sure that you don’t have an unintended filter parameter or search term remaining in place.
  • Click on a column title to sort the list by that column. Click a second time to reverse the sort order. By default the list is ordered from newest to oldest (reverse chronological).
  • The Book filter will not find every sermon that touches on a particular book
    • it cannot find sermons where the book name does not appear in the Scripture References column, e.g. filtering on Luke does not find a sermon with references of “Matthew – Revelation”.
    • Scripture References in the catalog are not complete for all sermons for various reasons
  • If you are exploring the library by Date, note that the date selector has unfortunate limitations:
    • Typed in dates must be in the format shown in the sermon list: 20 Jan 2019. Other formats such as 1/20/19 do not work.
    • In the calendar browser that pops up, you can click on the month/year at the top to move by larger periods of time. For example, if “JANUARY 2019” is displayed and you click on it you can choose months in 2019, click again and you can navigate through years.
    • Typed in dates will sometimes be misinterpreted and replaced: try editing the replacement text into your desired date rather than clearing the field and starting over.
  • The Search field only searches the catalog list of sermons displayed on this page. Unfortunately we do not have the capability to search the text of sermons at this time.
