Greetings from the Saints at Burmah Road Gospel Hall, Penang To The Saints at Sri Damansara Gospel Centre

Sri Damanasara Gospel Centre Series on The Doctrine of the Church. I.THE “UNIVERSAL” CHURCH II. THE LOCAL CHURCH

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 are Sanctified. 3:16, 17 ii.Ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.3:18-23 – You are Secure and Safe.

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

4. They Accused one Another in Court. I Cor. Ch. 6 a.Such accusations should be brought before the Court of Saints and not Sinners.6:1-4 b.It was Shameful that these Surfaced – no one was prepared to Suffer wrong!6:5-8 c.They were Sanctified; hence they need to behave like Saints and not Sinners.6:9-11 d.Their bodies are the Spirit’s Dwelling – they will be Destroyed, if Defiled. 6:12-20 cf. 3:17

CONCLUSION: Responsibilities of being a full-fledged independent assembly: - (1) Towards God: God-Glorifying, Christ- Centred, Spirit-Stimulating and Bible-Based. (2) Towards Self: Self-supporting and Self- propagating, Self-governing (3) Towards Subversives: Receive them not neither bid them God-speed. II Cor. 11:12-15 cf. II Jn Acts 20:28-31

C ONCLUSION : Responsibilities of being a full-fledged independent assembly:- (1) Towards God. (2) Towards Self. (3) Towards Subversives. (4) Towards Others: reach out to..... a. Sinners with the Gospel, I Cor. 9:22 "by all means save some" b. Sister-churches, in Consideration, Consultation and Communion (Fellowship); c. Such as those who Call on the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ – Greetings and Salutations: "Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.“ I Cor.1:3
