Broken Body
A Sermon Series on Paul’s First Epistle to the Corinthians. First sermon can be found here.
The Church is the Body of Christ. The Church is also people…and people are broken. We get it wrong in a great many ways. The Book of 1 Corinthians is a glimpse into a Broken Body. The saints at Corinth look a whole lot more like the sinners at Corinth. They are divided; they are immoral; they are selfish. Looking at the brokenness of human sin can be depressing. But the book also gives us a glimpse of a different broken body – the body of Christ, broken for us. The hope for sinners is Christ. Our hope is in his atoning work, not our own righteousness. This makes what could be a rather depressing book a wonderfully encouraging one instead.
