First - I just wanted to clarify that I am including verses from my Bible reading that say anything about any of the three persons of God. God the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ) or the Holy Spirit. So if you notice that some of the verses only talk about Jesus, or Lord, or Spirit, they are all talking about the same one and only true God. This concept of the Trinity - God, three in one - is hard to wrap our human minds around, but the Bible, God's own words, confirm this truth all throughout. I just had to get that out there - obvious for some, no so obvious for others.
Second - I don't have anything new from 1 Corinthians to share this week. A bunch of kids who were not in my Sunday School class the first week showed up last week so instead of picking up where I left off, I had the kids who were there the first week help me bring the others up to speed about the book (who wrote it, when, where and to whom, historical context, themes, etc). So this edition is shorter than last week's, but still packed with power.
