1 Corinthians 1.1-9: Church Can Be Messy

*NB due to technical difficulties the audio quality of this teaching is low. Thank you for your understanding.* The city of Corinth was wealthy, worldly wise and morally corrupt. It was a miracle that a church was planted there. However the light shines ever more clearly in pitch darkness. Over time the church had lost focus and become messed up. Paul writes them this long letter to remind them of the centrality of the message of the Cross. The key verse has to be verse 9 God is faithful, through whom you were called into fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Churches are always messed up because churches are people not buildings. Nevertheless God is faithful over our lives until glory to bring out Jesus in us through the work of His Holy Spirit.
