Application to our lives today
Lesson 6

2. Read 1 Corinthians 3:1-4

3. 1 Corinthians 3:1-4
What period of time is Paul talking about in vss. 1-2a?
What about 2b-3?
Why couldn’t Paul speak to them as men rather than babes in 1-2a?
What about in 2b-3?

4. 1 Corinthians 3:1-4
So, these couple of verses beg one very obvious question: How do we get ready to receive real food rather than milk?
What are the differences between babes and men as Paul explains in these verses?

5. 1 Corinthians 3:1-4
How can we apply this to our Christian walk?

6. Read 1 Corinthians 3:5-9

7. 1 Corinthians 3:5-9
So who are Paul and Apollos?
Paul is saying that they are mere men as well – but they are men who “got Corinth’s” attention by preaching the gospel
They may each do a particular job (Paul planted, Apollos watered), but in the end, it wasn’t men that caused them to believe

8. 1 Corinthians 3:5-9
Who causes the growth?
How does God cause the gospel to grow within someone?
Hint: What did the end of the last chapter say?

9. 1 Corinthians 3:5-9
So Paul and Apollos are just men who did some labor for the Lord
And they will each be rewarded for that labor (by whom?)

10. 1 Corinthians 3:5-9
Vs. 9 is interesting because we don’t think of our work for God like that
Paul says “we are God’s fellow workers”
How are Paul, Apollos, and God working?

11. 1 Corinthians 3:5-9
Paul also writes that the Corinthians are God’s field and God’s building
How are they a field?
How are they a building?

12. 1 Corinthians 3:5-9
How can we apply this to our Christian walk?
