I Corinthians – Rebuking the Carnal Man<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I Corinthians 2:12-3:3<\/strong><\/p>\n

Historical Context<\/strong><\/p>\n

Paul had spent 1 year and 6 months ministering in Corinth<\/p>\n

Corinth was a very world, rich city. It was placed on an isthmus and could carry ships and cargo around the isthmus to the seas on either side.<\/p>\n

It was so identified with drunkenness and defiling sexual sins that it was a common phrase in the Greek language \u201cto do the Corinthian\u201d meaning to be drunken and sin sexually.<\/p>\n

Paul is now in Ephesus when we received word of what is going on in the Corinthian church.<\/p>\n

People had come and gave him a verbal record and the Corinthians church had written asking Paul how to deal with several of the problems within the church.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Three Classifications of Man<\/strong><\/p>\n

Natural man<\/em> \u2013 the unsaved man<\/p>\n

They cannot understand spiritual things<\/p>\n

Spiritual man<\/em> \u2013 the saved man who is dead to self<\/p>\n

They have the mind of Christ and are spiritually discerning<\/p>\n

Carnal man<\/em> \u2013 the saved man who lives by his flesh<\/p>\n

Because he is not obedient to the \u201cbasic\u201d things in the Christian life, he cannot understand the meatier things in God\u2019s word.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Rebuking of the Church<\/strong><\/p>\n

The members of the church were saved, born again, however they were living from the flesh. This was causing all the problems in the church.<\/p>\n

They had divisions<\/p>\n

Failed to separate from sin,<\/p>\n

Failed to exercise church discipline<\/p>\n

Failed to take care of their pastor,<\/p>\n

They were disorderly in the Lord\u2019s Supper,<\/p>\n

Disorderly in the spiritual gifts<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Reproof is always for correcting behavior and should always be done from love<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What Can Be Done About A Carnal Church?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Remind them of the gospel 15:1-4<\/p>\n

Remind them there is a resurrection day 15:10-20<\/p>\n

Remind them to die to self 15:31<\/p>\n

Remind them to guard their tongues 15:33<\/p>\n

Remind them souls need to be won 15:34<\/p>\n

Remind them there is victory in Jesus<\/p>\n

15:57-58<\/p>\n

Encourage them to keep giving 16:1-2<\/p>\n

Get addicted to the ministry 16:15<\/p>\n

Beware of those that don\u2019t love the Lord 16:22<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
