We Need To Talk
January 6, 2019 • Will Basham • 1 Corinthians 5
"Church Gone Wild" is the second part of our sermon series through First Corinthians. "We Need To Talk" is the first sermon in this series. The Corinthian church was wild. Filled with rampant sin, we see one example of the many sinful situations in chapter five. A man having a sexual relationship with his stepmother leads to teaching on the importance of church discipline as the church is exhorted to stop being so wild and instead start reaching wild people, far from Christ.

Save The Drama

"Church Gone Wild" is the second part of our sermon series through First Corinthians. "Save The Drama" is the second sermon in this series. The Corinthian Christians fought with one another a lot. Their depravity fought its way to the surface in their lives and led them into disputes with one another. Instead of living selflessly, they selfishly sought to win every argument or conflict. This created a horrible reputation for the church and needed correction from Paul, the apostle.

Worth It

"Church Gone Wild" is the second part of our sermon series through First Corinthians. "Worth It" is the third sermon in this series.
