Caring For Shepherds
Paul tells the Corinthians that they should take care of the shepherds that oversee them. Yet he also does not allow them to take care of him. Why this contradiction? Why would he deny from them what he actually encourages? At the heart of both sides is Paul's desire for the clarity, integrity, and purity of Gospel preaching in churches. He desperately wants an unbiased, deep, healthy Gospel to be preached. 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.
