To Fix a Broken Church: A Study in First Corinthians

Corinth was a church that had problems. They had fallen off the track somewhere along the line, and they allowed themselves to take their eyes of the spiritual and they put them squarely on the world. As a result, divisions, arguments, and and wrong teachings were abounding, along with some of the most wrongful sins. When a faithful church member with a little courage spoke up, Paul swung into action, and scribed this letter to the church to take the matters that were fracturing the church and deal with them. This study goes over the letter, and it shall examine what was wrong, and what he had to say to fix a broken church.

Reverend J.O. Smith was born and raised in the shipbuilding town of Bath, Maine, and spent his first 20 years in the state. He found the Lord in his college dorm in the University of Maine. He spent a stint in the Army, and after facing spiritual highs and lows in his walk, he finally heard the call of the Lord to minister. He is now a minister with a full gospel organization and currently resides in Washington State.
