MORNING BIBLE STUDY

 Morning Bible study - 1 Corinthians 4

Paul the Apostle walked in great spiritual authority and power in verses 18-21 you can see him stand up in that authority while speaking to the Corinthian Church.

But it is also noteworthy to look at the life he lived and the cost of the authority he walked in when you read verses 1-17.

The content of his character, the motives if his heart, and the integrity of his life were forged in the trials, struggles, and the discipline of a man who gave his life for the Church.

God had made him like a Father to the Church who was a servant first and it cost him everything.

For all who are called to spiritual authority consider this example and calling just as Timothy also was a disciple of this teaching and life(v17) and Apollos(v6).
