1 Corinthians 7

If you have ever read this chapter and felt frustrated, you’re not alone

A few verses in it make good sense and are immediately helpful
- but the rest is strange, confusing, or upsetting
• this chapter is the reason some people give up on Paul
• but you and I cannot give up on him
◦ his spiritual insight has been too helpful to walk away now
- so we take a deep breath, cool our heals, and pray
• we ask God’s Spirit to walk us through the rough spots
• in time, it will make sense
