“Living the Gospel in a Corinthian Culture” 1 Corinthians 1:26-31

Changing Culture, But We Have This Same Gospel Whirlwind 3 weeks! 1.6% of the population is homosexual Bakers (Kleins), $135K judgment due tomorrow But the Gospel can/will prosper anywhere: * communism; socialism; dictatorships

Apostle Paul’s Strategy To Evangelize Corinth What Paul did (18 months): Acts 18:5-6 – turned from resisting Jews 18:8 – “many heard, believed, baptized” 1 Cor. 1:26 – 28 – God has chosen … foolish over wise; weak over strong; the base/despised; things that are NOT over things that are…

The Challenge in Corinth Great metropolis: sea and land trading routes *Culture of wisdom / enlightenment (Impact of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates) *Culture of sexual liberty Temple of Aphrodite – the goddess of sex, affection, and the attraction that binds people together. * 1,000 prostitutes at its height *picture how lonely hearts were enslaved

1. The Church Must Be United! 1 Corinthians 1 Fractures in the family: vss * smaller concerns/agendas vs. the Gospel (Paul, Apollos, Cephas) Unifying factors: 1 Cor. 1:18 – the call of the cross (John 3:16) Humility of those who respond to its call vss “no one should boast” “by His doing you are in Christ Jesus” “let him who boasts, boast in the Lord”

Paul’s Strategy to Achieve Unity, And Outreach: 1 Cor. 12:31 “And I show you a still more excellent way” Followed by 1 Corinthians 13 on “love” * Centrality of love – vss. 1-3 * What love is like – vss. 4-8 The two extremes in our culture 1) love (acceptance, affirmation) + but no truth 2) truth but no love (repeat vss. 1-3) The church = those “coming out of the world,” born again into the Kingdom of God! (Acts 2:37)

2. We Pursue Holiness in the Body 1 Corinthians 3:1-3 – “walking like mere men” As stewards, we must exemplify life change: a people saved from sin, transformed by Him (1 Cor. 4:1-2) CHURCH = “ekklesia” – “ones called out” Rejection of immorality “PORNEA” literally, “a selling off” (1 Corinthians 5) * Adultery, fornication, homosexuality, pornography, sexual sins of all sorts * Hope found in transformed lives (1 Cor. 6:9-11)

3. We Operate By Spiritual Giftedness For Anointed Outreach 1 Cor – theme of gifts from the Lord (purpose: contribution “giving” to community) 1 Corinthians 12 – church is likened to a human body – parts work together for good 1 Corinthians 13 – driving force is love 1 Corinthians 14 – spiritual gifts in assembly, with an eye to unbelievers!

4. Cornerstone of the Resurrection 1 Corinthians 15 Profound, concise teaching on the resurrection from the dead in 1 Corinthians 15 * vs. 13 – no resurrection? - Christ is not raised; - our preaching is in vain - our faith is in vain + vs. 17 “worthless” * vs. 18 – “those fallen asleep in Christ have perished”

Why the Resurrection is Critical to Our Flat Creek Message It portrays our eternal destiny: heaven (1 Cor. 2:9); or hell (1 Cor. 6:9) and the message that defines it (1 Cor. 15:3-4) The resurrection provides accountability (2 Cor. 5:10) It is the solution / answer to our last enemy (death) (1 Cor. 15:26)

Flat Creek’s Strategy in 2015! Diligently preserve unity of the Spirit Love one another, our community, calls to repentance! Use our giftedness in service to Jesus Eagerly embrace His resurrection; 2 nd coming!
