The Gospel For a Messy Church
15 EPISODES
What happens when a church begins to look more like its city than like Christ? That was Corinth. Though richly blessed by God, the church was tangled up in division, pride, sexual compromise, spiritual immaturity, and confused worship. In 1 Corinthians, the apostle Paul shows that the answer to a messy church is not better branding, stronger personalities, or more structured systems, but the gospel of Christ crucified and risen. As we journey through this letter, we’ll see that Corinth was not just an ancient church – it is often a mirror held up to us.
EPISODE 1
The Cross of Christ
The church in Corinth was full of division, pride, confusion, and compromise. Yet before Paul answers their many issues, he takes them to the cross. This Good Friday, we begin our series in 1 Corinthians by seeing how Christ crucified is not merely the starting point of the Christian life, but the power and wisdom of God that reshapes every part of it. As Paul will show, the cross does not sit at the edge of our faith - it stands at the centre.
EPISODE 2
The Resurrection of Christ
The resurrection is not just the happy ending to the story of Jesus – it is the truth that holds the whole Christian faith together. On Easter Sunday, we’ll see why Paul insists that if Christ has not been raised, we are left in a terrible mess: still in sin, without hope, and with nothing solid to stand on. But because Christ has been raised, everything is different. Our labour is not in vain, our future is secure, and our hope is alive.
