Sungai Ara Gospel Hall Series on The Doctrine of the Church (Cont’d) I.THE “UNIVERSAL” CHURCH II. THE LOCAL CHURCH

One Head and One Body Two aspects where the Local Church should reflect the Universal Church: 1) H E IS THE HEAD of the body, the church… that in all things He might have the pre-eminence.Col. 1:18 …and gave Him to be the head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fulness of Him that filleth all in all. Eph. 1:22f 2) For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: SO ALSO IS C HRIST. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles…and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. For the body is not one member, but many. I Cor. 12:12-14

The Lord’s Prayer for the Local Church, Jn. 17 To give Christ the Pre-eminence.Col. 1:18 The Local Church – its Purpose.Jn. 17 Not to be taken OUT of the World. 17:15a To be kept FROM the evil one.17:15b To be IN the World.17:11 Not to be OF the World.17:14, 16 To Go INTO the World.17:18 To be One as God and Christ are ONE.17:21-23

III. The Problems of the Local Church in Corinth (cf. Acts 18:1, 8, 11) 1.Paul’s Appeal for Unity in the Church. I Cor. 1:10-30 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment (purpose, NRSV) a.There were Petty Contentions (quarrels, NIV) among them. 1:11 b.There were Personal Cults among them. 1:12ff c.There was no interest in the Preaching of the Cross – it was foolishness. 1:17-25

1. Paul’s Appeal for Unity in the Church. I Cor. 1:10-30 d. They Professed to be Wise and opted out of God’s Calling for them.1:24-29 i.They were Childish and Carnal: they still needed Milk and not Meat.3:1-3, 4 ii.They Chose their Ministers; they should know these were Complementary. 3:5-9a

2. Paul Argued for the Adoption of the Wisdom of the Word and not the Wisdom of the World. I Cor. Chs. 2-3 a.Preaching should not be with Excellent and Enticing words but with the Power of the Spirit. 2:1-5 i.The Spirit’s Wisdom vs. the World’s Wisdom.2:6-10 ii. God’s Wisdom vs. Man’s Wisdom.2:11-14 iii. Have the Lord’s Mind, i.e. the Mind of Christ to learn all things.2:15f cf. Phil. 2:5-8

2. Paul Argued for the Adoption of the Wisdom of the Word and not the Wisdom of the World. I Cor. Chs. 2-3 b. Service likened to the building of a Structure. 3:9b-15 i.There is only one Foundation to build on – Jesus Christ, and Paul has laid it.3:10a, 11 ii.There are only two Forms of Service Structure.3:12 iii. It will be tested by Fire with two Results – one Rewarded and the other will suffer loss but will be saved.3:13-15 c. Know these two Foundational Facts: 3:16-23 i.Ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you - You, the Church, are Sacred. 3:16f ii.Ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.3:18-23 – You are Secure and Safe. Cf. Jn. 10:28-30

3. Paul was Appalled by their Tolerance of Incest in their midst.I Cor. Ch. 5 a.The Public knowledge.5:1 cf. Lev. 18:6-8ff b.They were Puffed up with their Inaction.5:1, 2, 6 c.They did not use their collective Power to Incise the leaven. 5:3-5 d.They needed to Purge out the Leaven Inside the Lump.5:7, 8 e.They needed to Part company with those who are Immoral, Idolaters, etc.5:9-13
