The Corinthians had an out of balance, celebrity view of their leaders. Paul tells them, "Here is how you should regard us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God."
ABOUT THIS 1 CORINTHIANS SERIES:
Life is messy. Church life is messy. Every church has problems, because every church is made up of people. But God has called His people to come together to live life alongside each other and to encourage and carry each other, even amid difficult and challenging circumstances. The Apostle Paul planted a church in Corinth, Greece, and it very quickly became a church that dealt with many problems. They lacked maturity and wisdom, despite being a very gifted church. 1 Corinthians is a fatherly challenge and guide to them to help them get back on track and grow in the wisdom they need.
