How Do You Walk Into The Room?

1 Corinthians 4:1-5

Paul’s letter to the Corinthian church is a response to real questions by real people whom Paul knows and loves.  1 Corinthians is certainly practical and theological answers to questions, but at its core it is an example of shepherding a flock of sinners saved by grace.  Answers are given, thoughts are expounded, falsehoods are confronted with a heart that these people would experience grace and peace walking in the privilege that it is to be those called into the fellowship of Jesus Christ by the God of the universe.
