The Bible Study Hour
with Dr. James Boice
The Litigious Church
Sunday, June 14, 2026
It seems there was a time when men settled their differences face-to-face, man-to-man, and--unlike today--going to court was usually a final option. Yet, in the Corinthian church, Christians were taking their disputes to court to let the world decide the outcome. Join Dr. James Boice next time on The Bible Study Hour as he looks at Paul’s third admonition to the church at Corinth.

Rejoicing in Trials
"Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Matthew 5:10-12
The Bible tells us that those who are persecuted are blessed, but that message is certainly contrary to the message the world believes. So how is it that Christians can rejoice in trials? In this booklet, Dr. Boice describes what it means to be persecuted for Christ, tells us how to rejoice in persecutions, and challenges us to stand up and be counted.
