The Christian Church (1 Corinthians 1:1–2:5)
As troubled (and, at times, as troublesome) as was the church in Corinth, Paul was committed to helping it to fulfil its purpose of being a truly Christian church—a Christlike church amid a graceless and godless culture. Brackenhurst Baptist Church too needs to be always reforming to be a Christian church. The triune God commands and expects us to be a Christian church—not merely a gathered people, but rather a grace-empowered, godly people that gather to grow in the Lord so we will go with and for the Lord. We consider these verses under the following broad headings: 1. Paul: Called (1:1) 2. Paul: Confident (1:2–9) 3. Paul: Concerned (1:10–17) 4. Paul: Crucified (1:18–2:5)
Scripture References: 1 Corinthians 2:1-5, 1 Corinthians 1:1-31
