Title: The Troubled Church
Subtitle: A Study in 1 Corinthians
Description: The Corinthians had their share of problems, among them marriage and divorce, divisions, pride, legalism, spiritual gifts, immorality, and more. Unfortunately the church hasn’t learned from Paul’s letter as the same mistakes repeat over and over … and over.

Have you considered how people outside the church view these distractions? Have you talked to someone who refuses to enter church again due to the actions of Christians? If Christians should be “little Christs” in their actions, this response reveals much about the state of the church — and it’s not good.

When considered in that light, both the problems in Corinth as well as Paul’s correction take on new importance, requiring new focus from a fresh study.
