WELCOME to our brand new series MESSY SAINTS.
The series is titled MESSY SAINTS because it’s based on 1 Corinthians, the apostle Paul’s letter to the Corinth church where he mentioned dark secrets about them.
NOTE: The Corinth church is not like a parish or an organization. It’s a home church like our Feast Lights!
Each home church would have between 10 to 30 members, and altogether, a total of 150 members in Corinth.
Talk 1 is titled Confused Army because the members fight each other in church– it’s like the church has an autoimmune disease.
Autoimmune disease happens when the body’s natural defense system can’t tell the difference between your own cells and foreign cells, causing the body to mistakenly attack normal cells.
What happened in the Corinth church is very much like the story of Christianity. We have a 2000-history of division.
Paul’s advice on how to resolve the Corinthians’ conflicts is also the key message of Talk 1: Go back to the Cross.
