Free Resource | Does the Bible Promote Tolerance or Intolerance?
One group says the Bible is a book about love, mercy, and kindness. They think of the story of the Good Samaritan and of Jesus telling us to turn the other cheek. So how could anyone think the Bible prevents a tolerant society? But for another group, the Bible is far from tolerant. There’s the conquest of Canaan. There’s Elijah killing Baal’s prophets by his own hand. And in the New Testament, Jesus talks often about hell. That’s not tolerant. What then can we say in answer to this question?

The situation that many of us are facing is one where we are asking questions about our own worldview, our own faith. We all have some kind of faith. Some of us put our trust in our bank accounts or in science and knowledge or in our families and country. Today's passage touches on the faith of the apostles and the faith of one crippled man.

The fear of man is a very prevalent trap today. "What are people saying about me on social media?" It doesn't matter what other people think of you; what ultimately matters is what God thinks of you. The path to freedom is to focus on pleasing God.

What do you do when you receive criticism? It's one thing when the criticism is fair—that's difficult to take, but we should receive it and learn from it. But how do you deal with it when it is completely unfair? Paul gives some wonderful teaching on how to handle criticism.

The great need of an infantile church like the Corinthians, and the great need of our celebrity, evangelical sub-culture today, is maturity. Paul speaks to the Corinthians about gaining wisdom.

The most difficult people to reach are not the disadvantaged or the poor, for they do not find it hard to believe that they will not be justified by their own works. Jesus said it was difficult for a rich man to get into the kingdom of God. Today we study Abraham and his wealth, possessions, and power.

Let's avoid the crazy and embrace God-centered wisdom. In a time of fear and uncertainty, we want to establish a biblical perspective on our world and for our response to the Coronavirus.

In the midst of a global pandemic, we look at opportunities for the church to respond in ways that move the gospel forward. We are living in a time where many people are experiencing anxiety and there is much we cannot predict. But there is an answer; there is Jesus—and faith in Him can free us from fear.

Corinth was thriving in many ways and was seen as the place to be if you were a big name orator of the day. It was a wealthy city with popular entertainment and a high estimation of speaking gifts. Paul challenges the Corinthians that they had become too focused on following these speakers rather than Christ.

How do we explain the trinity? God reveals the trinity in the Old Testament, and then more clearly in Christ, and then when we're in heaven, we'll know it fully. Learn more about the trinity in this message.

Many people today think that Christianity only has superficial answers to today's problems. If we as Christians are not persuaded that the greatest answer to our most difficult problems are found in Jesus, then we'll go elsewhere to find the solutions. We must be convinced that in Him is all beauty, love, and knowledge, and then we'll find our resting place in Him.
