· ( 4e)
Responsible to advocate God’s cause Ø
Being accountable in your stewardship –
Paul and the other apostles were servants of Christ in that they served the
church. However, they did not claim to own the mysteries of God. Rather,
they were mere stewards of them. That is, we do not own God’s truth;
rather, it owns us in a manner reminiscent of serving freedom, not the other
way around. Paul described his position of apostleship as one who must be
found trustworthy. He considered his calling as a steward of the mysteries
of God greater than his calling as a servant. As a steward, he was
responsible for hearing the voice of the Holy Spirit speaking to him about
God’s truth that he would ultimately serve to the church. With the heart
of an evangelist, Paul’s greatest stewardship pertained to the doctrine
that God has accepted the gentiles as part of His church (see Ephesians
chapter 3). Jesus alluded to this in the gospels, but it needed a lot of
interpretation to understand what He meant, but Paul spoke very clearly
about the matter, and for this reason the gentile church was born. Before
his revelation the other apostles, even Peter, believed that Jesus died only
for the Jews. This example drives home the importance of Paul’s
stewardship.

Jesus judges the church
· (69l) Authority Ø
Discernment Ø Righteous judgment Ø
Judging yourself correctly
1Cor 4-3,4
· (17c) Sin Ø
Unrighteous judgment Ø Judging in the flesh Ø
Evaluating circumstances by the carnal mind – Paul does not allow
his flesh to examine the spiritual part of himself, but leaves that job to
God. He knows his flesh will always come to the wrong conclusion. It is a
common trap for Christians to evaluate their spiritual lives with their
fleshly minds. Our flesh will never lead to
any kind of an advantage to serve Christ. These are things the flesh does not understand. The flesh
should therefore not be allowed to make any decisions about our spiritual
lives. Therefore, always evaluate
your spirit through prayer and meditation on the Scriptures.
· (70b) Authority Ø
Discernment Ø Sensitivity To The Spirit
· (90a) Thy kingdom come Ø
God convicts us Ø Conviction leads us in the
way of righteousness –
Paul intently listened for the small voice of the Holy Spirit, who dictated
the true condition of his heart, which led to repentance. For that reason
Paul was able to hear that same small voice speaking to him about the
greatness of God that he jotted in his epistles. If a Christian brother is
unwilling to listen to God and repent, then we must confront him with his
sin, but this was not the case with Paul. If people are unwilling to listen
to the Holy Spirit, then we must approach the person in a proper manner,
with an attitude of humility. However, if they are not willing to listen to
the Holy Spirit, they probably won’t listen to anyone. So often our
judgment is skewed, and we don’t know all the facts, which leads to making
assumptions, but God knows everything, and He brings to light the things
that are hidden in the darkness and exposes the motives of men’s hearts.
All these things God knows, but we don’t, and He will bring them to light.
We just need to wait for God. If we give a chance to the people who are
struggling to serve the Lord and to make their lives meaningful to God and
to others, once they get it straight and we have not shown our lack of
confidence in them, then we will share in the reward of their faithfulness,
just as the Corinthian Church shared in the reward of Paul’s faithfulness.

· (154j) Witness Ø
Validity of the believer Ø Witness of the

Having a good conscience Ø God is my
conscience –
Paul’s confidence came from being brutally
honest in heart before the Lord with all his foibles, and knew he did this
more conscientiously and devoutly than the Corinthian Church. Paul refused
to carry their burden of guilt. Even if he had done something wrong, he
didn’t feel guilty about it, except from the conviction of the Holy
Spirit. He may be servant of the Corinthian Church, but he was the Lord’s
servant first, who instructed him not to accept their guilt. Paul allowed
the Lord to be far more thorough in discriminating the thoughts and
intensions of his heart than any human could do.
· (161j) Works of the devil Ø
Essential characteristics Ø Satan’s
attitude determines our direction Ø Carried
Away Ø Condemnation Ø
Condemnation without basis of sin – For the Corinthian Church to accuse Paul of
things they thought were wrong was not their business, and he was not going
to tolerate it. Our judgment against one another and against the world is
pointless, so it mostly should not exist, because it is the Lord who judges.
He convicts His people of their transgressions, and deals with their sin.
Paul complained about the Corinthian church that they have not given him
proper respect as their servant and steward of the grace of God. He told
them their opinions and criticisms were not relevant. The only judgment he
respected was God’s. Paul said he was conscious of nothing against
himself. He didn’t even respect his own self-criticism; much less theirs,
though he was not by this acquitted, “but the one who examines me is the
Lord.”

1Cor 4,6-16
· (7b) Responsibility Ø
Protecting the Gospel Ø Defend the word of God
by obeying it – Paul knew all his preaching was only part of his
arsenal he would use to communicate the gospel; the other part was obedience.
He became a model, a living example of Christianity, so people could look to
him, to help them decide such things as what was an appropriate level of
commitment and what was an appropriate response to the situations in their
lives. He knew the more he lived it the more the people he taught would live
it, and the more entrenched the gospel of Christ would be in this world. It
would be a long, cold, dark period after he left, and he wanted to make sure
the gospel got off on the right foot, because it would take many wrong turns
in the centuries to come.

1Cor 4-7,8
· (11i) Servant Ø
We are not our own standard for each other –
The worst thing a
person could do after God blesses them is get conceded and flaunt their gift
to make people jealous. They have completely missed the point of being
blessed by God, who has given us every good thing that we might share it with others in need. Paul was very angry and
sarcastic when he addressed them as rich kings. On the
contrary, Paul who had nothing was more filled than they, possessed more
spiritually than they could possibly have materially, and was living closer
to the King than the Corinthian Church.

· (5l) Responsibility Ø
The church tests the disciples – Another word for "test" in
this context is "judges."
· (12h) Servant Ø
Bond servant Ø Their indifference to the world
– God’s bond servants are typically treated poorly even by the church, but
especially by the world. They respond to their reception with
indifference to hardship and persecution. How
are they able to avoid reacting in these situations? The Bible often teaches
us to "die to self." While God
expects us to do this, many don't, but His bond servants have died to this
life's many trivial concerns. They are indifferent to things that make up the bulk of an
average person’s life. God replaces these temporal pursuits with His own
interests and concerns for the church and about the world. The icing on the cake for His bond
servants is, though their personal concerns are discarded, God’s Holy Spirit
is very strong in them to accomplish His work, at the same time comforting
them in their trials, liberating them to bask in His presence, something the
rest of us have not experienced to the same degree. This
illustrates God's justice. We have our life to live, while they give
up their earthly concerns in exchange for the life of God, plus they will inherit a close position with Christ in
His eternal kingdom.

1Cor 4,8-13
· (165e) Works of the devil Ø
Manifestations of the devil Ø Do not partake of
the world Ø Do not desire the treasures of the
world
1Cor 4,8-10
· (60a) Paradox Ø
Two implied meanings Ø Being sarcastic as
seen through the eyes of the world / Rebuking the church for being carnally
minded –
Paul gets sarcastic with the Corinthians, which is a sign that they are not
listening. It is a sign that speaking straightforward to them doesn’t
work. They’re proud; they’re ungrateful, and their heart is hardened.
These are the traits of a judgmental person. Society today is full of such
people. For example, there are dozens of TV shows designed to make the
viewer judge between issues and people, thus designed to increase the
judgmental attitude of society. Paul said, “You are already filled; you
have already become rich,” yet they were dilapidated and spiritually impoverished.
He said, “You have become kings without us,” when in fact they were not.
Paul was trying to get through to them something Jesus harped to his
disciples that the greatest are least and the least are the greatest, but
the Corinthians seem to have forgotten that. They have gone back to the
world’s system that believes the greatest are the greatest and the least
are the least.

· (99i) Thy kingdom come Ø
Endurance Ø Enduring circumstances Ø
Humiliation –
This is a dirty laundry list of all the ways the world treated Paul and the
other apostles. The Corinthian Church made it clear they were unwilling to go
through this level of humiliation for Jesus. They looked at Paul as a lowly
person, similar to how the world viewed him, as the scum of the earth. The
condition of the world’s unbelief was pressing on Paul in contrast to his
own willingness to serve Christ and the love he had even for his enemies in
spite of all the aggression and oppression he got in return, and then to see
the Corinthians exhibiting the same behaviors toward him broke his heart. They
were becoming increasingly secular and carnal, being more convinced by the
world than they were by the teachings of Christ and of Paul. Essentially, they
were forgetting the whole purpose and meaning of the gospel. They had become
Christians in name only.

Laying your body on the altar –
Paul reminds the Corinthians of all the heartache and trouble, all the trials
and tribulation that he and the rest of the apostles had endured for their
sake as men condemned to death, “We have become a spectacle to the world,
both to angles and to men.” They appeared as foolish to the world,
sacrificing their bodies and their very lives for the sake of the church as
servants of Christ, and the church could not as much as appreciate what they
do. As Christians they barely understood what Paul was doing. There were
people in the Corinthian Church who were trying to usurp Paul’s authority
and take charge of the doctrines and theology and the general direction of the
church, which had they gotten their way would have driven it into the ground,
and it took everything Paul had to keep it sailing in the right direction. He
worried what would happen to the church after his demise, and rightly so.

· (36m) Gift of God Ø
Adopted Ø We are adopted in the flesh –
Although Paul wanted to correct them and even make them feel guilty, yet he
wrote them, not to shame them, but to admonish them as his beloved children.
One day prior to the conception of the Church in Corinth Paul came preaching
the gospel in their town, and those who believed his message became the
Corinthian Church. From that point forward they may have had many teachers,
yet in the Lord Paul had become their father, because he had begotten them
through the preaching of the gospel, and they will forever be his children. He
felt responsible for their spiritual health. Fearing they were letting their
faith slip, had Paul not corrected them, the many forces of unbelief may have
swallowed them whole. He had this relationship with the Corinthian Church, as
with all the churches that got their start through his efforts in preaching
the gospel. He earnestly desired them to remain faithful to Christ, because
they were his reward in heaven. He needed them to endure the temptations of
the world and keep the faith all the way to the end, so Christ could present
them to the Father holy and blameless and beyond reproach, that the gates of
heaven my be opened to them, and be given to Paul as his prize for the sake of
the kingdom of heaven.

· (93b) Thy kingdom come Ø
The narrow way Ø Follow me as I follow Christ
–
This verse is the capstone of Paul’s fatherhood with the Corinthian
Church. He admonished them, “Be imitators of me…the scum of the earth,
the dregs of all things, even until now.” He wants the Corinthian Church
to be this, over arrogant and worldly and secular, fighting and arguing
among one another about who is greatest, because these things lead to doubt
and unbelief, which eventually leads to backsliding and falling away from
the faith. He would rather the Corinthian Church become the scum of the
earth than to loose their faith. These are the only choices we all have in
this world. Either we become the scum of the earth and keep our faith, or we
model after the world, camouflaging our faith, acting like the world to
avoid persecution. Once we no longer look like Christians, who to say we
really are?

Paul sent Timothy to them, whom Paul loved like his own son. He wholeheartedly

endures to eternal life.

· (178e) Works of the devil Ø
The religion of witchcraft Ø Hypocrisy of the church is rebuked Ø The church
is rebuked for rebellion –
Paul promises to come and find those who have been arrogant, and discover not
just their words, but their power, meaning what spirits they have been
entertaining through their words. Attitude matters, because it determines the
spirits that teach us what we believe, which determines the direction of our
lives. The phrase, ‘spoken in the wrong spirit,’ in the most spiritual
sense suggests there really are spirits behind the way we say things and
behind our wrong thinking, which leads to wrong teachings. Otherwise, what did
Paul mean by the phrase, “doctrines of demons” (1Tim 4-1)? The kingdom of
God is not just about words, but power, referring to the Holy Spirit. If there
is a Holy Spirit, then there is an unholy spirit. Paul’s complaint is that
people in the Corinthian Church have been operating by an unholy spirit. He
gives them an ultimatum of coming to them with either a rebuke or with a
spirit of gentleness. By this time the Corinthians didn’t believe Paul had
it in him to be severe. They thought he was a milk-toast kind of person,
because the world ran roughshod over him as he practiced the fruit of the
spirit, which is rooted in love, which can’t hurt anybody. However, Paul
disciplined them in a form of love that seemed very harsh to the church.
Sometimes the love of God brings with it a rod of discipline.
