1 Corinthians 10:2,
• NAU 1 Corinthians 10:2 and all were baptized
into Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
• Remember, it was the Egyptians who got wet
there, and baptism is not the gospel;
• NAU 1 Corinthians 1:17 For Christ did not send
me to baptize, but to preach the gospel…
• Baptism literally means to be immersed, it is used
of sunken ships, dyeing cloth. Figuratively it
means “to be identified with”

1 Corinthians 10:4 Spiritualizing
• NAU 1 Corinthians 10:4 and all drank the same
spiritual drink, for they were drinking from a
spiritual rock which followed them; and the rock
was Christ.
• Scripture is always very clear when the text is
spiritualized, usually from the context.
• In John 6, it's clear that Jesus did not mean his
literal body and blood, that would be breaking the
law, cannibalism. Yet the RCC insists that their
priests do a “hocus-pocus” magic miracle over the
bread and wine. 6

1 Corinthians 10:4…and the rock was Christ.
Acts 4:11 "He is the STONE WHICH WAS REJECTED…
Romans 9:33 …A STONE OF STUMBLING…
Ephesians 2:20 having been built on the foundation of the apostles
and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone,
Peter said in; 1 Peter 2:4 And coming to Him as to a living stone
which has been rejected by men, but is choice and precious in the
sight of God,… 6 For this is contained in Scripture: "BEHOLD, I LAY IN
ZION A CHOICE STONE, A PRECIOUS CORNER stone, AND HE WHO
BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED." 7 This precious value,
then, is for you who believe; but for those who disbelieve, "THE
STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED, THIS BECAME THE VERY
CORNER stone," 8 and, "A STONE OF STUMBLING AND A ROCK OF
OFFENSE"

1 Corinthians 10:4
Moses Actually Struck The Rock
• Carl Weiland wrote, “If Moses did not strike the rock at Horeb
historically, then Paul is wrong theologically when he indicates that
the rock was a spiritual type of Christ (1 Corinthians 10:4). The
fundamental doctrines of the Cross - God's answer to the problems
of sin and death - are tied to historical events in Exodus, as we have
seen. And they are also - even more so - squarely rooted in the
history recorded in Genesis (how sin and death entered the
universe). This history is referred to many times in the NT - both
directly and by allusion. Satan's hatred of the Gospel/Cross is well
known. So, no wonder we see this huge and focused effort, including
within the very walls of the church, to undermine the credibility of
that Cross-related history, by whatever means. Whether ridicule,
appealing to 'science', academic credibility, getting people to see it
as an unimportant issue - whatever it takes.”

came to Moses and said, "We have sinned, because
we have spoken against the LORD … 8 Then the
LORD said to Moses, "Make a fiery serpent, and set
it on a standard; and it shall come about, that
everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, he
shall live." 9 …when he looked [by faith] to the bronze
serpent, he lived.

1 Corinthians 10:4
• NAU John 3:14 "As Moses lifted up the serpent
in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man
be lifted up; 15 so that whoever believes will in
Him have eternal life. 16 "For God so loved the

Good/Bad Examples

1 Corinthians 10:8
QUESTION FOR THE DAY
• Dear Compass, I realize you want to take the Bible
literally, without one single mistake, but there is a
glaring mistake that you must admit exists. In Numbers
25:9, the plague that followed Israel's worship of Baal
and Peor killed 24,000. Yet in 1 Corinthians 10:8 Paul
said only 23,000 died.
• ANSWER: No, Paul said there were 23,000 killed IN
ONE DAY! The account in Numbers obviously included
the total number who were killed and counted by the
judges in the days following. But don't miss the point of
all those deaths: Worship God and God only!

1 Corinthians 10, Numbers 25:9
23 or 24,000?
• The Nelson Study Bible, Page 1927 says, “…the
Numbers account includes the death of the
leaders (Num. 25:4) while Paul's figures do not.”
• Don’t miss the point of 1 Corinthians 10:7-10;
• God judges all sin justly (harshly), whether it is
licentious living (Exodus 32:6), building an idol
(Exodus 32:5), gathering sticks on the Sabbath
(Numbers 15:32), murmuring and complaining
(Numbers 25:9), the penalty for sin is death
(Romans 6:23).

1 Cor 10:9, Christ or Lord, LORD?
• NAU 1 Corinthians 10:9 Nor let us try the Lord,
as some of them did, and were destroyed by
the serpents.

destroyer.

fault, following after their own lusts; they speak
arrogantly, flattering people for the sake of
gaining an advantage.

1 Corinthians 10:13
The Lord is my Shepherd
• The Lord Is My Shepherd
•
• By Melvin Newland
•
•
Turn with me this morning to the 23rd Psalm, perhaps one of the best loved passages in the Bible. We often read it in times of stress or sorrow.
•
• But I would like you to see it in a slightly different way this morning. Now that we're in the fall season & Thanksgiving, I'd like you to see in this Psalm three great reasons for us to be thankful unto God.
•
• The 23rd Psalm begins with these familiar words, "The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not be in want."
•
• When someone says, "I shall not be in want," we need to sit up & take notice because this is an age of discontent. Listen to these words by JasonLehman:
•
• It was spring. But it was summerI wanted
The warm days, & the great outdoors.
It was summer. But it was fall I wanted
The colorful leaves, & the cool, dry air.
It was fall. But it was winter I wanted
The beautiful snow, & the joy of the holiday season.
It was winter. But it was spring I wanted
The warmth, & the blossoming of nature.
•
• I was a child. But it was adulthood I wanted
The freedom, & the respect.
I was 20. But it was 30 I wanted
To be mature, & sophisticated.
I was middle aged. But it was 20 I wanted
The youth, & the free spirit.
I was retired. But it was middle age I wanted
The presence of mind, without limitations.
Then my life was over, & I never got what I wanted.
•
• Many people never seem satisfied, & almost everybody wants more. A little child wants more toys & more television time. A teenager wants more freedom & more popularity. Most adults want more possessions & more leisure time. And as we age, we want more health, more friends, & more loyalty from our children.
•
• Yet, listen againto these words of the Apostle Paul that we looked at last Sunday, "I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, & I know what it is to have plenty.
•
• "I have learned the secret of being content in any & every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want" (Philippians 4:11 12).
•
• Obviously, God wants us to be a happy, satisfied people. We shouldn't be restless & jealous, always chafing about what we don't have. There should be a spirit of thankfulness in us that brands us as belonging to Him.
•
• So with the 23rd Psalm in mind, notice 3 great reasons to be thankful.
•
• IN THIS LIFE THE GOOD SHEPHERD GIVES US ALL WE NEED
•
• The first one is this: "We can be thankful because in this life the Good Shepherd gives us all we need."
•
• Frequently in the Bible humanbeings are compared to sheep. Now that sounds nice, but surely you realize that is not necessarily a compliment, because sheep are among the dumbest& dirtiest animals in the world.
•
• So when Isaiahsays, "We all, like sheep, have gone astray" (Isaiah53:6), he is not saying "That's good." He's saying, "That's bad, because we're just about on a level with sheep."
•
• When Jesus looked out on the people with compassion, the Gospel writers say that He saw them "like sheep without a shepherd" (Matthew 9:36). That's not a compliment, either, but a concern, because sheep are so helpless when they're all alone.
•
• Philip Keller was a sheep rancher & in his book, "A Shepherd Looks at the Twenty third Psalm," he says that they require more attention than any other livestock. They just can't take care of themselves.
•
• Unless their shepherd makes them move on, sheep will actually ruin a pasture, eating every blade of grass, until finally a fertile pasture is nothing but barren soil.
•
• Sheep are near sighted & very stubborn, but easily frightened. An entire flock can be stampededby a jack rabbit.
•
• They have little means of defense. They're timid, feeble creatures. Their only recourse is to run if no shepherd is there to protect them.
•
• Sheep have no homing instincts. A dog, horse, cat, or a bird can find its way home, but when a sheep gets lost, it's a goner unless someone rescues it.
•
• So one over riding principle of the 23rd Psalm is that sheep can't make it without a shepherd. And the only reason that David could say, "I shall not be in want," is because David could first say, "The Lord is my Shepherd."
•
• Now let's look at what David says the Good Shepherd does for his sheep.
•
• Vs. 2 tells us that "He makes me lie down in green pastures." The good shepherd leads his sheep to a lush pasture where they have plenty to eat & their stomachs are soon full.
•
• Here, then, is a picture of a sheep so completely satisfied that there isn't the least desire for anything more. He's so content he lies down in green pastures.
•
• The Lord has provided us with plenty, too. There are few of us who ever go hungry. In fact, we have so muchto eat that dieting is a constant discipline or, maybe more accurately, a constant discussion.
•
• But did you notice the wording? David said, "He makes me lie down." Sheep sometimes have to be forced to lie down.
•
• Keller says that in order for sheep to lie down 4 things are required:
•
• 1. First of all, they have to be full. Hungry sheep stay on their feet searching for another mouthful of food.
• 2. Secondly, they mustbe unafraid. They will not lie down if they're fearful. The least suspicion of wolves or bears & they standready to flee.
• 3. Thirdly, they mustbe content. If flies or fleas are bothering them they'll not lie down. They mustbe comfortable before they'll lie down.
• 4. Finally, sheep will not lie down unless there is harmony in the flock. If there is friction over the butting order among them, then they simply cannot relax & lie down.
•
• But God makes us lie down once in a while, doesn't he? We rush about, trying to meet this engagement& fulfill that obligation. And in our hurry & scurry we tend to miss the things that are most important.
•
• So once in a while God has to say, "You need to lie down," by allowing an illness, or heartbreak, to make us stop & reevaluate our priorities.
•
• David then says, "He leads me beside quiet waters." (vs. 2) Sheep are frightened of swiftly moving water. They're poor swimmers, &get bogged down with their heavy wool just as we would if we tried to swim wearing wool overcoats.
•
• So when the shepherd comes to a flowing stream, he doesn't try to force the sheep to drink. Instead, a good shepherd builds a dam & makes a quiet little pool where his sheep can drink from still waters.
•
• God knows our weaknesses. He leads us by quiet waters. He promises to protect us from the temptations that we can't handle. He never forces us into situations with which we cannot cope.
•
• Isn't that what Paul is saying in 1 Corinthians 10:13? "God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted He will also provide a way out so that you can standup under it."
• David said the same thing in the 32nd Psalm, "Surely when the mighty waters rise, they will not reach me. You are my hiding place, you will protect me from trouble & surround me with songs of deliverance" (Psalms 32:6 7).
•
• Back in the 23rd Psalm David goes on to say, "He restores my soul." (vs. 3) A lost sheep cannot find its way home, so the shepherd has to restore the stray or it is lost forever.
•
A Christian drama depicts a little boy working in his parent's carpentry shop in Jerusalem. He protests his chore, which is to assistin building a cross. The parents insist that he help because Rome has given them a contract for construction of crosses.
•
• In Scene 2 the boy is weeping. "What is wrong?" his parents ask. He responds, "I went to the market place & I saw Jesus of Nazareth, the Man we love to hear speak, & He was carrying OUR cross! They took Him to Golgotha & nailed Him to MY cross."
•
• The parents insist, "Oh no, son, that wasn't our cross. Other people in Jerusalem build crosses. That wasn't our cross."
•
• "Oh yes, it was! When you weren't looking, I carved my name on the cross that we were making. When Jesus was carrying His cross, He stumbledright beside me, & I looked, & my name was on His cross!"
•
• My namewas on His cross, too. So was yours. He died in our place. He went to the cross to restore our souls.
•
• That is why the Apostle Peter wrote, "He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, so that we might die to sins & live for righteousness; by His wounds you have been healed.
•
• "For you were like sheep going astray, but now you have returned to the Shepherd & Overseer of your souls" (1 Peter 2:24 25).
•
• David continues on in Psalm 23:3, "He guides me in paths of righteousness for His name's sake." A careless shepherd might lead his sheep over steep & dangerous paths where they could fall. But a caring shepherd leads his sheep over paths that are safe.
•
• The Bible clearly teaches that there are 2 paths we can take. One leads to destruction, & Satan tries to lead us along that path. It is such a broad & smooth road. It often seems like the logical way to go.
•
• The other is the path of righteousness that leads to the glory that God is preparing for us. Sometimes this way is narrow & difficult & filled with obstacles. But the good Shepherd knows which way His sheep are to go, & He leads them on that path of righteousness.
•
• So here is something for us to be thankful for. Thank God that in this life He provides us with everything we really need.
•
• IN THE FACE OF DEATH THE GOOD SHEPHERD PROTECTS US FROM EVIL
•
• Secondly, David says, "Be thankful, because in the face of death the Good Shepherd protects us from evil."
•
• Listen to David as he says, "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadowof death, I will fear no evil." (Psalm 23:4) The fear of death can really disturb us.
•
• Hebrews 2:15 speaks of people who "all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death."
•
• The Bible clearly states that death is Satan's weapon, the last enemy to be defeated. But David said, "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadowof death, I will fear no evil." Why? Because "you are with me."
•
• A 1st grader stood in front of his classroom to make a speech about "What I want to be when I grow up." He said, "I'm going to be a lion tamer & have lots of fierce lions. I'll walk into the cage & they will roar."
•
• He paused for a moment thinking through what he had just said & then added, "But of course, I'll have my mommywith me."
•
• I'm convinced that when death roars its worst at us, we need not fear, for our Savior is with us. Whether we brush the edge of the valley of death or actually walk through it, He promises, "I'll be there with you."

1 Corinthians 10:13, God Tests Our Faith
• Today is August 19, 2013, Verse of the Day -- John 9:7 And (Jesus) said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam." And so he
went away and washed, and came back seeing.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
• Sometimes God tests our faith.
• MINI BIBLE STUDY FOR THE DAY
• In the case of the blind man in the above verse, it was not going to the pool of Siloam and washing that restored his sight.
Rather, it was his faith in following the instruction. God could have cured his blindness without making him wash his face, but
to test his faith, He required obedience to a simple test.
• God says His yoke is easy, and His load is light.
• For My yoke is easy and My burden is light. —Matthew 11:30He never demands that we climb a mountain or swim across the
ocean. He only asks us to do easy things like:Look His way.And Moses made a bronze serpent and set it on the standard; and it
came about, that if a serpent bit any man, when he looked to the bronze serpent, he lived. —Numbers 21:9As Moses lifted up
the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up —John 3:14
• Walk around a wall seven times. (Joshua 6)By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled for seven
days.—Hebrews 11:30
• Or wash in a pool.So he went down and dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the word of the man of God;
and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child and he was clean. —2 Kings 5:14
• In fact, even in temptation, the Bible promises that God will never allow us to be tempted beyond that which we can bear.No
temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted
beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it. —
1 Corinthians 10:13Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about
yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you—unless you fail the test? —2 Corinthians 13:5

1 Corinthians 10:13, God Provides
• 1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you but such
as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow
you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the
temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you
will be able to endure it.
• Genesis 22:8 Abraham said, "God will provide for Himself the
lamb for the burnt offering, my son." So the two of them
walked on together.
• Acts 17:25 nor is He served by human hands, as though He
needed anything, since He Himself gives to all people life and
breath and all things;
• Our salvation includes more than pardon from sin, deliverance
from hell and a ticket to heaven. It includes all that we shall
need on our journey. Vance Havner

1 Cor. 10:13
• Is The Bible Only For Believers?
• Monday, May 26th, 2014Salvation
• Q. My question is this, does 1 Cor. 10:13 apply to non-Christians? I have a relative that is going
through some very difficult times and has contemplated suicide. He is a non-believer (I pray
everyday for his salvation) and wonders if this verse is ever wrong. I explained that I believe this
verse can never be wrong because God’s word is never wrong. But I also told him that I don’t
know if this verse applies to non-Christians. I’m a believer and this verse has rang true on every
occasion in my life. I know this book was written to the Christians in Corinth so my thought is it
only applies to Christians. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
• A. Here is 1 Cor. 10:13. “No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind.
And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are
tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.”
• Like all the promises in the Bible, this one is for believers. God loves everyone but until our sin
problem is solved He can’t fully express His love to us. Knowing we can’t solve the sin problem
ourselves, He solved it for us by sending His Son to die in our place. All that’s left for us to do is
accept His solution.
• Until your relative does that, there’s nothing more that God can do. But once he does, all kinds of
blessings will immediately become available to him.
• The fact that he’s asking about a Bible verse shows your prayers are working. It’s clear that he
wants to believe this verse. I think you should seize this opportunity. Use Colossians 2:13-14 to
show him that Jesus has already paid the penalty for all our sins, so as soon as he believes that
Jesus died for him, this promise and all the others in the Bible will begin coming true for him.
• For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Jesus Christ (2 Cor. 1:20).

10;13, Greater Is He
• NAU 1 John 4:4 You are from God, little
children, and have overcome them; because
greater is He who is in you than he who is in the
world.
• A. W. Tozer said, “I’m not afraid of the devil.
The devil can handle me–he’s got judo I never
heard of. But he can’t handle the One to whom
I’m joined; he can’t handle the One to whom
I’m united; he can’t handle the One whose
nature dwells in my nature.” 3

1 Corinthians 10:13, 7 Phrases Christians
Like to Say That Aren't Biblical, by Lori Hatcher
• “We’ve all heard them—phrases that sound wise, insightful, and biblical. But are they really?
• First Corinthians 10:13 is one of the first verses I memorized as a new believer, and its truth has
carried me through many a temptation: “No temptation has seized you except what is common to
man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you
are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.”
• Notice two important parts of this empowering verse. First, God will never allow us to be tempted
beyond what we can bear. This tells us we can have victory over any temptation we encounter.
Nothing is too hard to resist.
• Second, God will always provide a way to escape. Joseph is a great example of this. Remember
when Potiphar’s wife tried to entice him to sleep with her? “My husband is away, and I’ve ordered
all the servants out of the house,” she said. “Come to bed with me. No one will ever know...” I’m
sure her offer was mighty tempting. He was young and virile, and she was rich and beautiful. But
Joseph knew giving in to his desires would be a sin. Instead of succumbing, he took the “way out”
God provided. When Potiphar’s wife caught him by his cloak, “he left his cloak in her hand and ran
out of the house” (Genesis 39:12). Not very dignified, but highly effective.
• As long as we’re alive, our sinful nature will tempt us. Notice the wording in the passage above. It
doesn’t say, “if you are tempted.” It says, “when you are tempted.” Knowing this, we’d be wise to
set up this three-fold defense before we encounter a temptation: First, memorize 1 Corinthians
10:13. Second, look for the way of escape. Third, take it.”
