THE CHURCH IN THE CITY … I COR.1:1-9

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN GOD STARTS A CHURCH IN THE MIDDLE OF A MAJOR CITY …

THE CITY,
   THE BEAUTY OF THE CHURCH IN CORINTH, 

   THE BOUNTY OF CORINTH,
      THEY WERE WEALTHY COMMERCIALLY …

   THE BROKENNESS OF CORINTH,
      THEY WERE WRONG SPIRITUALLY …
      THEY WERE WICKED MORALLY …

 THE CHURCH,
Vv.1-9, EACH VERSE IS RICH IN THE REALITY OF GOD’S GRACE … “GOD HAS LOVED YOU!”

   WHO ARE WE, Vv.1-2
     OUR POSITION …
     OUR IDENTITY … “SAINTS BY CALLING

   WE ARE WHO WE ARE BY GOD’S GRACE, Vv.3-4

   WE HAVE WHAT WE HAVE BY GOD’S GRACE, Vv.5-9
    ENRICHED … Vv.6
    EAGERLY WAITING … Vv.7
    ETERNALLY SAVED … Vv.8
   THE FATHER’S PURPOSE, THE SON’S PROMISE, THE HOLY         SPIRIT’S PLEDGE
   ENCOURAGED … Vv.9
