The problem with the church in 1 Corinthians: ARROGANCE and IMMATURITY (1 Cor 3:1-3)

A. SIN within the CHURCH

B. UNBIBLICAL THEOLOGY

C. QUESTIONING Paul's AUTHORITY as an apostle

D. PRIDEFUL CHAOS in the church

Paul's response in 1 Corinthians: HUMBLE CORRECTION

The problem with the church in 2 Corinthians: ALLOWANCE of FALSE teachers

Paul's response in 2 Corinthians: GRACIOUS CONCERN

Important Principles:

- Paul's goal: PREACH the gospel and GLORIFY God (1 Cor 1:17; 2:2; 2 Cor 4:5)

- Paul's concern: the Corinthians' RELATIONSHIP with God, not his own REPUTATION (2 Cor 10:17-18; 12:5-6; 13:9)

- Paul's example: CHRIST (1 Cor 11:1)
