Trinity Grace Church

Paul brings a corrective to the Church in Corinth instructing them that God Himslef informs us as to how we are to worship Him.  

The Apostle Paul calls the church to a proper view of the gifts of tongues by giving the church a proper view of the church: The Church is Not an Individual Experience; The Church Builds Up Believers; and The Church Reaches Unbelievers.

Paul calls us to love one another with a gospel love - with the love with which God has loved us; in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.  

Paul calls the church to use their gifts, given by the Spirit, for the glory of God and for the good of the people.  And a proper understanding of those gifts must come with a proper understanding of "Jesus is Lord." 

The Lord's Supper is a wonderful gift that the Lord has given to His church.  When we come to the Lord's Table, though the bread remains bread, and the wine remains wine, nevertheless, we feed on Christ because Christ is spiritually present in the Supper.  

The Scripture gives clear and bold instruction concerning gender and gender roles in the midst of a world that is confused or in rebellion against God.

In the context of food sacrificed to idols, Paul calls the church to a life that brings glory to God and good for people.

By God’s grace we are enabled more and more to flee from our idolatry and flee to Christ. And one of the means of grace he provides that enables us to flee is the Lord’s Table.

Paul sets an example for the church in Corinth, and the church today, to follow. Because we have all we need in Christ, we are free to give up our rights for the sake of others and for the sake of the gospel.  

We have freedom in Christ Jesus and are called to use our freedom for the sake of others; to love them and to serve them.
