Praising God for the Positives (2 of 40)
Series: 1 Corinthians - And You Think You've Got Problems
Jeff Schreve
1 Corinthians 1:4-9
We're in a series on the Book of 1st Corinthians. I've entitled this series, ''And You Think You Have Problems,'' because the church at Corinth had lots and lots of problems.
I heard a story about a guy. He came home from work, and his wife met him at the door, and she said, ''I have some news to tell you.'' And he said, ''Listen, ''I've had a terrible day. Everything went wrong at work. And I don't want to hear any bad news. I've had my fill of bad news. So if what you're getting ready to tell me is bad news, you can save it, because I don't want to hear any bad news.'' And she said, ''Okay.'' And she thought for a minute, and she said, ''But I do have something to tell you.'' And he said, ''Well, what's that?'' She said, ''Well, you know the new car you bought me?'' He said, ''Yes.'' She said, ''The airbags work!'' She had to get that in there.

And it's all perspective sometimes on negatives and positives. And it's amazing. As Paul starts in his letter to the Corinthian church, this church that's so messed up. They have all sorts of problems. Christians are suing other Christians in the church. That's talked about in 1st Corinthians chapter 6. They have divisions. They have all sorts of factions. One guy says, ''Well, you know, I follow Paul.'' And the other says, ''Well, I follow Cephas,'' which is another name for Peter. ''And I follow Apollos.'' And somebody else says, ''Well, I follow Jesus.'' ''Wow! I have, a novel idea, you follow Jesus?'' And Paul's like, ''What are you doing? Has Christ been divided? Why all these factions? Why are all these divisions in the church?'' And, then, sexual immorality in the church, a huge, huge problem. And here was the issue in Corinth: Cori ...
