1 Corinthians: Lessons on Grace [From a Dysfunctional Church] As we start our long series in 1 Corinthians please pray that God would open our eyes to see the connections between the grace given to us by God, in Christ Jesus and the practical effects of that grace that is operating in our lives in the person of Jesus. Through faith in His work done for us on the cross, I pray that many would believe the good news of Jesus' life, death and resurrection—the Gospel and experience the joy of having their sin's forgiven. I pray that we would understand how this good news—Jesus, not only saves us from condemnation but how Jesus continues to be an effective work of God's grace in our lives. I have called this series Lessons on Grace from a Dysfunctional Church because God wants us to understand from this letter that it is His grace—God's unmerited favor on us who deserve only His wrath, that saved the Corinthians. I want us to see that it is God's grace that will keep these Corinthians (1 Cor. 1:7-8) strong to the end and even blameless on the day that our Lord Jesus Christ is revealed—in spite of some severe sin and dysfunction. I want us to see that through faith in the Gospel, the same grace of God is effective in us through Christ Jesus and that grace will keep us until Jesus is revealed—in spite of sin and severe dysfunction in our lives.
