As we come to chapter 7 of 1 Corinthians, Paul starts to address some of the most challenging areas of life, including marriage and singleness. In this talk, Jeremy helps us to see the foundation that Paul lays for how we can make decisions in these areas of life: the priority of honouring Christ with our lives, and how that should shape our decision-making in every area of life.

So in response to their strength, Paul speaks the message of the weak and foolish gospel to them, to persuade them to become a weak church, who trust in the weakness of the cross, and not in the strength of personality or influence.
