1 Corinthians 10

Understanding how I am under the influence

Charles BarkleyCRAVINGS influence how I live

1 Corinthians 10:1-6 “These things happened as a warning to us, so that we would not crave evil things as they did,…”
What is it that I crave that is damaging (evil)?

What I WORSHIP influences my cravings

1 Corinthians 10:7-13 “…or worship idols as some of them did. As the Scriptures say, ‘The people celebrated with feasting and drinking, and they indulged in pagan revelry…’”
What is at the center of my life?

Breaking Free from Unhealthy Patterns

Flee from FAKE “gods”

1 Corinthians 10:12-14, 23-24 “So, my dear friends, flee from the worship of idols.”
I can do this, but does it benefit others & myself?

Center your life around GOD

1 Corinthians 10:31 “So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.”

We are all influenced by what we crave and worship. Leave the fake “gods” & put God at the center.
