Why do we slip so easily from applause to hate, on television, online, and sometimes even in church? This sermon on 1 Corinthians 3 shows a community in which believers split into fans of Paul, Apollos and Cephas, and explains why Paul calls them fleshly rather than spiritual. You will hear the parable of the rebellious little screw on a great ship and the moving story of two preachers, Billy Graham and Charles Templeton, whose paths parted forever. Listen and discover that wisdom means being captivated by Christ, not by people.

(Im)perfect
Sometimes we feel like we don’t belong in church because we’re not perfect. Other times, the imperfections of others-their sins and failures-make us prefer to stay away from a church that’s so far from perfect. However, 1 Corinthians shows us how, even while being imperfect ourselves, we can find our place among other imperfect people in the Church, which is both perfect and imperfect at the same time. 1 Corinthians is life itself, but life seen from the perspective of what God can do with it and how He can change it.
