1 Sunday, Aug 30, 2015 Kidzone KG and 1st Grade Small Group TEACHER BIBLE STUDY Church Responsibility 1 Corinthians 1 16 In the first century, the city of Corinth was an important destination in the Roman Empire. Corinth was located on a narrow area of land that connected the southern end of the Greek peninsula with the mainland to the north. When Paul visited Corinth on his missionary journeys, the city was full of people with various cultural backgrounds. Many of them worshiped Greek gods. Temples and shrines to these gods were scattered throughout the city. Corinth was a strategic place to plant a church. Paul arrived in Corinth and met Aquila and his wife, Priscilla. Paul stayed with them for a year and a half. On the Sabbath Day, Paul went to the synagogues to teach God s message to the people. When the Jews refused to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, Paul preached to the Gentiles. Many Corinthians believed and were baptized. (Acts 18:1-18) Finally, Paul returned to Antioch in Syria. About six years passed. Paul was in Ephesus when he heard a report that the church in Corinth was struggling. The people in the church were arguing and suing each other. In some ways, they lived just like the people in Corinth who were not believers. So Paul wrote a letter the Book of First Corinthians to the Corinthian church, not only to instruct them on how to live but to answer questions they had about the faith. As you teach kids from First Corinthians, focus on a few of Paul s main points. He said that the Christian life is like a race, and a great reward awaits in heaven. (1 Cor. 9:24-27) Paul explained that the Lord decides what spiritual gifts to give to believers, and not every believer has the same gift. (1 Cor. 12:4-11) Then he reminded them of what is most important: the gospel of Jesus Christ. (1 Cor. 15:1-11) Emphasize that Paul gave practical instructions so that the believers would know how to live in light of their salvation not as a way to earn God s favor. Paul spent a significant portion of his ministry meeting with believers and encouraging them to keep the faith. Jesus mission for the church is for believers to come together to worship God and to share the gospel.

Years before, Paul helped start the church in Corinth. Now the church faced problems. Paul wrote his letter to help the people in the church. He told them many things about how to follow Jesus. Believers should live in such a way that people see them and know they belong to Jesus. Paul said that living a life for Jesus is like running a race. All of the runners race, but only one receives the prize. You must run to win, Paul said. A believer s prize is not a crown that will get rusty or break. A believer s reward is in heaven. It is a crown that will last forever. Paul heard that when the church got together for a meal, people were divided. They did not get along. So Paul reminded them of Jesus words at the last supper. On the night Jesus was betrayed, He took the bread, gave thanks, broke it, and said, This is My body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of Me. In the same way, after supper He also took the cup and said, This cup is the new covenant established by My blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me. Then Paul explained that the Holy Spirit gives believers different types of spiritual gifts talents and abilities for doing God s work. Not everyone has the same gift, but all of these gifts come from the Holy Spirit. Some people are wise, some have knowledge, and some have faith. Every gift comes from God, and He decides who receives each gift. Paul said that believers must do everything in love. He explained what love is like. Love is patient and kind. It does not want what someone else has or think less of others. Love is not quick to get angry and is happy with what is right. Love doesn t stop hoping, and love doesn t give up. Love never ends. Finally, Paul reminded the church of the most important thing the gospel. This is the good news about Jesus, and by believing it, people are saved. Don t stop believing this message, Paul said. Christ died for our sins like the Scriptures said He would. He was buried and raised to life on the third day. Then He appeared to many people. As Paul finished the letter, he wrote, Be alert and stand strong in the faith. Do everything with love. Christ Connection: Jesus mission for the church is for believers to come together to worship God and to share the gospel. Unit 36 Session 1 Younger Elementary 2

(the good news about Jesus death and resurrection. 1 Corinthians 15:3 4) Say Paul reminded the Corinthians how they should live as people changed by the gospel.
