1 Corinthians 10 Testing = Love?

August 8, 2021 -- The Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost

Pastor Caleb Rothfuss

1 Corinthians 10:1-5, 11-13

We should not only delight in the visible ways God shows his love to us, but even in the hard times, God is there.

1For I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud and 1all passed through the sea, 2and they were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea. 3They all ate the same spiritual food 4and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them—and that rock was Christ! 5Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them. He had them die in the wilderness. 11All these things that were happening to them had meaning as examples, and they were written down to warn us, to whom the end of the ages has come. 12So let him who thinks he stands be careful that he does not fall. 13No testing has overtaken you except ordinary testing. But God is faithful. He will not allow you to be tested beyond your ability, but when he tests you, he will also bring about the outcome that you are able to bear it.
