Divided We Fall (3 of 40)
Series: 1 Corinthians - And You Think You've Got Problems

1 Corinthians 1:10-17
If you have your Bible, please turn to 1st Corinthians chapter 1. We're in a study on the Book of 1st Corinthians, and we've just kind of gotten started. This is only our third message. And we've entitled this series, 'And You Think You've Got Problems,'' because the church in Corinth had lots of problems.

Now has anybody ever been in a church where there is conflict, quarrels, division? Anybody ever experience that? If you've been involved in this church for the last 50 years, sometime, you've experienced that. I mean the history of our church, when First Baptist, Texarkana moved from ...
