1 Corinthians 5-6: The Church and Bad Apples

Artist depiction of the Apostle Paul writing his epistles

 

This is the third part of a multi-part series covering the Apostle Paul’s first letter to those in Corinth. In this sermon, Dr. Thiel goes over each verse of the fifth and sixth chapter of 1 Corinthians. The sermon includes many comments that the late Herbert W. Armstrong gave related to these two chapters as well as his preface to these chapters. Topics covered included the Church, sexual immorality, putting out bad apples, praying to follow God, striving to overcome personal faults, going to court, judging angels, why Jesus spoke in parables, selfishness, pride, the body as the Temple of the Holy Spirit, Jesus paying for our sins, church governance, character, salvation, dealing with outsiders, and God’s loving plan for humanity.
