Losing Sight of Holy Things (27 of 40)
Series: 1 Corinthians - And You Think You've Got Problems
Jeff Schreve
1 Corinthians 11:17-37
I have a different perspective on 1st Corinthians since I got to go to Corinth and found out that Corinth is not all that big. Interesting city, we got to do a little filming right in front of the judgment seat. The Bema Judgment where they took Paul and they had the council there to try him. And the magistrate wouldn't try Paul. He said, ''Hey, this is a religious thing. You guys, I'm not going to do anything about this.'' And so they got mad because he wouldn't do anything with Paul. But Paul talks about that judgment seat, that Bema Judgment, when he says, ''We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ...'' And so to be right there where what he had in his mind when he wrote that was powerful.
So in 1st Corinthians chapter 11 we're going to look at verses 17 to the end of the chapter in a message I've entitled, ''Losing Sight of Holy Things.''
And I heard about a Polish immigrant. And he had come to America, and he was trying to get his driver's license. So he went to the Department of Motor Vehicles to apply for a driver's license. And one of the things he had to do was take an eye test. And so the optician showed him a card and he had these letters on the card - C, Z, W, I, X, N, O, S, T, A C, Z. And he says to the Polish immigrant, he said, ''Can you read those letters?'' He said, ''Read it? I know that guy!'' He had good eyesight.
Well, we want to talk about losing sight of holy things. That was one of the big problems in Corinth. Now we've entitled this series, ''And You Think You've Got Problems!'' Corinth had tons and tons and tons of problems in that church, but it was a church of the Lord Jesus Christ. God had used Paul to found this church. And He told Paul, ''I have many people in this city.'' And, so it was a New Testament church. It was a church of redeemed people, but they had problems. An ...
