- Title: I Corinthians - An Urban Pentecostal Church in Trouble
- Problem #1: Divisions (1:10-4:21)
- The Corinthians are a Spirit-filled Pentecostal church. They speak in tongues and have all spiritual gifts.
- Paul's letter begins with greetings and thanks. The Corinthians have been enriched in every way with speech and knowledge and do not lack any spiritual gift.
- The Corinthians misunderstand spiritual experiences. They boast about their wisdom and knowledge gained through speaking in tongues of men and angels, considering themselves wiser, stronger, and more spiritual than others, including Paul.
- The church has divided into four groups, all with preferred personalities.
- Paul's response focuses on these issues.
- Problem #2: A Case of Incest (5:1-13)
- A brother in the church is sleeping with his mother-in-law and still participates in worship.
- The leadership in the church isn't acting on this issue.
- The matter was previously addressed by Paul in a previous letter to no effect.
- Problem #3: Lawsuits in the Marketplace (6:1-11)
- Church members are taking each other to court for personal disagreements.
- This issue is likely a social class problem.
- Problem #4: On Going to Prostitutes (6:12-20)
- Active members of the church continue visiting prostitutes while claiming to be spiritual people.
- They deny being influenced through body actions.
- They are likely influenced by worldly values and actions.

- The church as God's temple (3:5-17, 3:16-17)
- The Church: God's temple.
- Workers, foundations and temple of the Holy Spirit.
- The church is a living organism, comprised of believers.
- Servant leadership and gifts: Christians are called to serve, and God equips them.
- How to make sure work is not burned up: The "Day of the Lord" will reveal it.
- Servants and Fools (4:1-21)
- We are servants of Christ.
- Those given trust must be faithful.
- Fools compared to servants (4:7-10)
- The Corinthians are already rich and ruling, boasting about their gifts.
- The Corinthians' claims are arrogant.
- The marks of a servant (4:11-13)
- We go hungry, thirsty, and wear rags.
- We work with our hands.
- We are abused, but we bless.
- We are persecuted, but we endure.
- We are slandered, but we answer kindly.
Conclusion
- Two questions for the Corinthians: Who were you before you found the Lord? What do you have that you didn't receive from Jesus?
