Part 29: A Word of Warning
Series: Getting Things Straight
Stuart Briscoe
1 Corinthians 10:1-12
Both the Israelites in the wilderness and the Christians in Corinth misunderstood the way God operates, and, accordingly, both had a false idea of their own situation. The Israelites were "overthrown" and the Corinthians were warned the same thing could happen to them. We need to "take heed" of these things too.

Part 30: Temptation
Series: Getting Things Straight
Stuart Briscoe
1 Corinthians 10:12-15
Temptation is a universal human problem. It is "common to man." However, it is not universally understood.

But always temptation comes under the ultimate control of the faithful God Who can bring blessing out of every temptation. But human cooperation is necessary.

B. The Neutral force.
