The Gospel Core | James Boice

1 Corinthians 16:1-24 The ending to Paul’s monumental letter to the Corinthians ends in a very practical way with principles for giving and his final instruction for the brethren to love one another. Listen to Dr. James Boice's teaching on Paul's final words to the Corinthians on the Bible Study Hour.

1 Corinthians 15:35-58 The fact that Christians will be raised from the grave means that, in the end, we will be victorious over our greatest enemy: death. What kind of resurrected bodies we will have when we are raised is of lesser importance. Dr. James Boice shares this encouraging message on the Bible Study Hour.

1 Corinthians 15:12-34 While the Apostle Paul previously proclaimed the essential elements of Christ’s resurrection, he now turns to the consequences of denying the core belief of the Christian faith as he progresses in his letter to the Corinthians. Dr. James Boice speaks sense about the resurrection on this episode of the Bible Study Hour.

1 Corinthians 15:1-11 The foundation of the Christian faith is the resurrection, and the 15th chapter of Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians is the most comprehensive chapter in the New Testament concerning this monumental event. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he summarizes Paul’s reason for preaching the resurrection and considers the apostle’s proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and our salvation.

1 Corinthians 14:1-40 While every part of the Bible is relevant, some parts speak to contemporary issues more directly than others, as is the case with the 14th chapter of First Corinthians. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he explains why the danger of people within the church doing what they want to do is both an ancient and contemporary problem... and presents the Apostle Paul’s remedy for it.

1 Corinthians 13:1-13 A Scottish evangelist, Henry Drummond, preached a famous sermon entitled “The Greatest Thing in the World.” It was about love, and--if indeed--love IS the greatest thing in the world, then the 13th chapter of First Corinthians has to be one of the greatest chapters of the Bible. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he explains why love is superior to hope and even to our faith.

1 Corinthians 12:1-31 While the Apostle Paul had a lot to say on the subject of tongues, he had a lot more to say on the much broader subject of spiritual gifts in general. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he emphasizes the important topic of believers exercising their spiritual gifts for the benefit of the church.

1 Corinthians 11:17-34 It’s hard to fathom that something as solemn and moving as the Lord’s Supper could draw controversy, and yet, in Paul’s day, it did just that...and in our day, through differing interpretations of its meaning and purpose, the table still draws dissention. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he takes a deeper look into the reasons we celebrate this foundational institution of our faith.

1 Corinthians 10:23-11:16 Of all the practical matters that are dealt with in First Corinthians, the most applicable is the matter of temptation, because--unlike some of the issues the Apostle Paul confronts--temptation affects everyone.
