    The Corinthians had made the mistake of approaching worship like a smorgasbord. They were taking what they thought was the best and walking by what they really needed on their plates.

    This is Church not Theatre 1 Corinthians 4:1-21 Today’s scripture passage is meant as a loving correction from a father to his children. St. Paul is writing to his spiritual children in Corinth a church that he planted and now he goes about watering it. Just like the parable of (The Sower) ...read more

    What does it mean to serve Christ? Paul talks about servant-leadership in this passage and calls for humility among those who think they are wise and brilliant enough to lead the church.

    THE TRUTH ABOUT SERV ING CHRIST Whenever a title like this is used several thoughts go through our minds: “You mean there is something false about the way we serve?” “There’s a ‘truth’ I didn’t know about?” “Is this something new?” To set your minds at ease I must confess that this is nothing new ...read more

    Is the "spiritually superior" attitude that the Corinthians had similar to the attitude found in the American church today?

    The Corinthians’ Situation: 1. The Problem: They were living proudly in their spiritual superiority. - vv. 8-13. - Paul points out their pride in their superiority and their position, all of it (from their perspective) a sign of the hand of God.

    We are far more prone to think too highly of ourselves than to think too poorly of ourselves. Such thinking tends to divide the people of God.

    “What do you have that you did not receive? If then you received it, why do you boast as if you did not receive it?” [1] Our contemporaries, and likely we ourselves, esteem the rugged individual. We imagine that we are distinct from everyone else. We are taught in elementary school that there ...read more
