Main idea: Christ is the wisdom and power of God
Gospel life: Living for Christ out of the spiritual blessings given by Christ in the age in which we live.
Christ is the wisdom and power from which His church lives the gospel Life - Christ is the source of Wisdom & power
They Corinthian church had fell prey to the high cost of a secular, pluralistic age.
No need for God’s wisdom in life or ministry
The scary reality is that a body of Christ can “do church” in its own wisdom and strength and be successful by the worlds judgement.
Acts 18:1 - Paul goes to Corinth - Spent 1.5 years there.
Apollos spent time as well.
Map - Reference -Corinth & Achaia
Corinth was strategically situated on a narrow strip of land and controlled two ports leading to both Italy and Asia
146 BC - Ancient Corinth destroyed by Rome
44 BC - Corinth founded as a Roman Colony (Corinth was the third-largest city of the Roman Empire.)
AD 50-51 -Paul spends 18 months in Corinth
AD 54-55 - Paul writes 1 Corinthians from Ephesus
AD 55-56 -Paul writes 2 Cor.
from Macedonia
In Corinth, ⅓ of the pop.
were slaves & business and profit were the focus of poor and rich alike.
“Corinth” was a byword for sexual promiscuity -
The Greek prostitutes would wear sandals with the words “follow me” on them and walk up to the temple.
Most of the Church of Corinth was made up of Gentiles converts
They were people of both rich and poor, upper and lower class.
Most agree the the congregation was mostly lower class but the upper class and wealthy wielded heavy influence in the letter
Many think of Paul as a traveling itinerant evangelist and church planter.
I Cor.
show us Paul as a man, as a pastor, as a counselor and one who loves the local church.
The Troubling Report of the Corinthians Church
1 Cor.
1:11 - internal conflict
1 Cor.
5:1
reported among you - immorality! - moral compromise
1 Cor.
1:22-25
One would be true to say negatively the theme could be conflict and compromise of the church.
Lack of Godly wisdom
Lack of Holy Spirit power
The Gospel life is lived together as the church should display visible markers to age in which we live.
These markers according to 1 Cor.
are Holiness, Unity and Love.
To say it another way.
The antidote for conflict and compromise is the supremacy of the gospel as they remember they had been called to Holiness, unity & love.
Four Marks of a Wise Spirit- Filled Church
Not just a mark, its the preeminent mark!
The Preeminent Mark of the Gospel (The Essential center of the Church)
Chapter 1-2
1 Cor 1:1-2 - Been Called by Christ - Called on Christ - Sanctified in Christ
Author is Paul - The Recipients is the local church of Corinth
1 Cor 1:16-17 - Preeminence of preach Word - The cross does not need my creativity it demands my clarity.
1 Cor 1:23-25 - Only one thing that saves & makes one wise in Christ
1 Cor 2:1-5 - Spirit empowered lives
Christ is the wisdom and power of God for all who believe but especially for His Church
The preeminence of the gospel should lead to visible characteristics in the local Church.
The gospel is not another program beside other ministries it is the essential heart in all ministry.
Ex: Twins or Triplets - interconnected bond that exists
We should see Holiness, Unity & Love as three links in a chain.
Unable to separate one without losing them all.
The Mark of Holiness
Distinct
1 Cor 1:21 - strange wisdom with a strange message but it is a saving message
Paul in Athens.
What is this babbler saying?! Strange man with strange beliefs!
1 Cor.
2:14 - Spirit filled not merely natural thinking
God’s special people - Strange to the world but Special to God
1 Cor 3:16-17
Pure
Church discipline - Ask most pastors or members if their church practices biblical church discipline and they will look at you like your a member of a cult.
Like your strange.
Purity in our morality - Recently read an article that stated young Christians think premarital sex is acceptable.
1 Cor 5:5 - Is Paul speaking to the man in sin or the church?
Yelling at the church!
This defiles the church!
Far worse than a church in which someone commits adultery is a church that says nothing about people committing adultery.
The church must practice church discipline within the body to care for churches purity and to guard her witness to our watching neighbors.
Love without holiness is not biblical love.
Brother if you say you love your wife and your looking at porn.
That’s not biblical love its corinthian love.
Purity in resolving resolving conflicts
1 Cor 6: 1-2 - Lawsuits letting pagan resolves believers conflict
Purity in Living everyday lives
1 Cor 6:9-10 - False teacher were teaching that since the body is going to die and it doesnt matter what you do with your body.
That God cares more about your soul than your body.
Paul lays out the churches view on the body & soul & the Resurrection in 1 Cor 15
1 Cor.
7:1-24 Purity in marriages,
1 Cor 7:25-40 Purity in singleness and as a widow or widower
1 Cor 7:17
Don’t miss the obvious, he’s not ultimately talking to individuals, he speaking to the church.
We are one body and we should be concerned and involved in each others holiness - this is a gospel issue.
When you see holiness you should also see unity
The Mark of Unity
Identity the couple married the longest
Ex: Unity in marriage comes naturally when you exchange rings.
T or F?
The hallmark of unity in the church?
- Jews and Gentiles are now one unified family.
Christianity stood out because it didn't have the “identity markers” that separated Jews from Gentiles.
(“Community markers”)
Ex: Living on a golf course
What are some common identity markers in our culture, community, and church?
