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

1 Corinthians 1:1-3
Well, if you have your Bible, please turn to 1st Corinthians chapter 1. I want to give just kind of a brief introduction. We're doing a new sermon series that I'm starting tonight on 1st Corinthians. And I've entitled this series, ''And You Think You've Got Problems!''

''Well, I can't relate to you.'' But the person that messes up a lot, the church that has problems, it's like, ''Man, I can really learn from you, and I can relate to you. And sometimes I can kind of feel good because it's like, ''Wow! I thought I had problems. You have tons. I mean I'm feeling pretty good. My load's pretty light.'' And so we can learn a lot, and God can teach us so much through this book and through this church and lessons that we can learn about ourselves and ...
