About this listen
In this episode Pastor Rory preaches on 1st Corinthians 4:8-21.
This scripture passage gives an account of how the Corinthian church has rejected Paul. This rejection was very personal to Paul. The church was in conflict and were fighting among themselves about different leaders they wanted to follow.
Paul was the spiritual father of this church. He was the first to share the gospel message with them. Paul's anguish is evident; however, he does not defend himself against the personal slights they had aimed at him.
Instead, Paul demonstrates what a loving father would do, and continues to exhort them.
First, he warns them of the trajectory their actions are taking. Next, he provides a model for them by imitating Christ in his own life. He practices what he preaches. Lastly, he teaches the church the truth of the Gospel.
