1. THE CHURCH AT CORINTH
Refuge Apostolic Church of Christ
District Elder Vaughn McRae
August 2011

2. . PURPOSE AND NATURE OF
THE OF PAUL’S LETTER
Pointedly concerned with the
local church
To make positional
sanctification practical

3. There were nine difficulties
Paul was facing in the church:
1. Divisions
2. Sexual Immorality
3. Lawsuits Among Christians
4. Marriage & Divorce
5. Food Sacrificed To Idols
6. Acceptable Behavior During
Service
7. Disorder During The Lord’s
Supper
8. The Right Use of Gifts
9. Uncertainty About Basic
Christian Truth Which Is
The Resurrection
Lessons From The Church of Corinth

4. The first problem, to which Paul devotes almost four
chapters, concerns factionalism within the church.
Paul has heard that the Corinthian church has
divided itself according to the various preachers of the
gospel
Corinthian Error
Universal
Church

5. Like many churches today
Paul inherited factionalism
and resistance to change along
with a host of other issues.
There were divisions in the
church because people were in
it and the church cannot be
perfect because we are not
perfect.
I have to be careful to operate
in the Holy Spirit (God’s Way)
to help prevent the divisions
that happened at Corinth.
