*INTRODUCTION: Let’s go back and remember some of what we looked at when we started our study of 1 Cor.
*
#. *As we were looking at 1 Corinthians 1-4, we identified some important truths about wisdom.*
*1. *There are many different definitions on what it means to be wise.
*2. *Wisdom is more than having and applying a value system.
*3. *We need a wisdom system, and Jesus has become for us Wisdom from God.
*4. *We need to pursue the M&M’s of wisdom, *AND* the pursuing the Maturity & Mystery of
Wisdom is seeking to know, understand, and learn about Jesus.
*5. *The teacher and revealer of God’s Wisdom is His Spirit.
#. *Wisdom Promises at least 3 Things?
Proverbs 2:1-11*
*1. *It promises to teach us what it means to “Fear The Lord.”
*2. *It promises to teach us Knowledge of God.
*3. *It promises to provide God’s Protection.
#. *Remember the Key Theme & Verse.
1:2 – “Sanctified in Jesus, CALLED TO BE HOLY!!!”*
*PROPOSITION: Apply God’s Wisdom & Holiness in the Battle with Sin.*
*TRANSITION: *
*1. **Don’t live with FALSE security.
10:1-5*
*A. *Just because you are saved, it does not mean that you will avoid God’s consequences for sinful behavior.
*B. *Just because we are a church, don’t think that we will avoid the corporate consequences of sinful corporate choices.
Revelation 1-3 (Remember that 1 Corinthians was written before the book of Revelation.)
*2. **Learn From The Examples of History – 10:6-11*
*3. **Guard Your Heart And Life – 10:12-13*
*A. *Remember that Pride Lies & Destroys.
· Pride says I have it under control --- I can live on the edge and not fall off.
· Wisdom says I will establish some boundaries & buffers to keep me safe.
*B. *Look honestly at your battle with sin.
· Sin wants to isolate you.
· Sin wants to play on your embarrassments and pride.
· Sin want to entrap you and make you it’s slave.
· There is nothing about your sin that is unique or unusual.
· /(Sin has not changed it’s playbook since the beginning of time)/
2500 years after Moses, what are the Corinthians struggling with?
Ø Idolatry
Ø Carousing ~/ Sinful Revelry (1 Cor.
11)
Ø Sexual Immorality
Ø Grumbling
Ø Pride (This was the first sin ever committed.
It is still in sins playbook and Paul is warning against it.)
Ø Disobedience (This was the second sin committed and Paul is calling the Corinthians to OBEDIENCE!)
· *WHAT ARE WE STILL STRUGGELING WITH TODAY???*
* *
* *
*C.
*Believe God when he says that he will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you can Bear.
Q – Why does God allow us to be tempted?
· God wants us to live in dependence upon HIM, not ourselves.
· In the furnace of Temptation:
---We will learn about God, His Character, His Nature, etc…
---We will learn how to experience intimacy with God in the hard times of life.
---We will have some of our greatest opportunities to be Salt and Light
---We learn how to live by God’s Sprit instead of ourselves.
---We learn that we really can trust God.
---We learn how to make good~/excellent choices.
(Often private choices that have public implications.)
---God refines our character
*D. *Make the right choices.
(Sin for a Christian is always a result of our choices.
We are no longer slaves to sin.)
· God has guaranteed us that there will ALWAYS be an escape route away from temptation.
*E. **Q* –As a Community, how do we flesh out this guarding of our heart
Remember, Verses 11-12 are the midst of a discussion about Building Community Within the Church
*4.
**Recognize what is happening behind the scenes – 10:14 & ff*
*A. *On the surface things appear similar – In communion & the temple, we use food items in our worship.
*B. *Behind these food items is the worship of God or the worship of Demons.
*C. *Key Question – Who is receiving worship from our lives?
(God, Demons, Self, Man???)
*5. **Exercise Freedom with Wisdom, with Discernment, with Godliness.*
*CONCLUSION: *

*Apply God’s Wisdom & Holiness in the Battle with Sin.*
