Thanksgiving for a Troubled Church – Part 1

Pastor John Miller

September 20, 2024

1 Corinthians 1:1–9

1:1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother, 2 To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who in every place call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours: 3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 4 I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given to you by Christ Jesus, 5 that you were enriched in everything by Him in all utterance and all knowledge, 6 even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you, 7 so that you come short in no gift, eagerly waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, 8 who will also confirm you to the end, that you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Jesus told His disciples that they were to be in the world but not of the world. This is true for all believers. In today’s teaching, Pastor John begins unpacking Paul’s letter to the Corinthian church. Corinth was a city that could be compared to Las Vegas. It was known as a hub for sin and debauchery. That lifestyle of sin had infiltrated the Church like water in a boat, threatening to sink it. Has this happened to you? Are you being influenced by the culture? Jesus is calling you to live a holy, set-apart life.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Corinthians chapter 1 as he begins his message, Thanksgiving for a Troubled Church.
