In this episode of the Weekly Jay Ewing and Thomas Milburn discuss the transition from the Advent season back to the study of First Corinthians, specifically addressing Paul’s exploration of eating meat sacrificed to idols. The conversation highlights how Paul emphasizes decision-making through four key lenses: the impact on the church, on unbelievers, on personal freedom, and ultimately on the glory of God. The speakers also reflect on the temptation faced by the Corinthian church, encouraging listeners to remember the resurrection of Jesus as the foundation for making choices that build up the community of believers. Ultimately, they underscore the importance of staying connected to God and community to avoid the pitfalls of temptation and idolatry, linking personal struggles to a broader understanding of God’s presence and grace. 00:00 - Welcome to The Weekly 02:55 - The Calvary Cup 05:26 - 4 Lenses of Paul's Letter to the Romans 10:28 - First Corinthians: The Test of Spiritual Blessing 15:40 - Paul on Praying for a Spiritual Blessing 17:32 - Paul's Old Testament Hermeneutic 21:54 - The Meaning of Jesus' Words 22:14 - The Temptation in Chapter 10 23:25 - Hebrews 4, The Way Out 24:57 - Choosing the Right to Do Things 26:29 - Temptation in the Gospel 28:23 - How to Get Out of Temptations 29:37 - Paul's Letter to the Corinthian Church 31:36 - Conclusion You can find more episodes of The Weekly at calvarybible.com/theweekly.
