1 Corinthians 1:1-9 - The Grace of God and the Church

We conclude our study of the introductory verses to 1 Corinthians. In this sermon, we focus on Paul's usage of the idea of "grace" in these verses. We see God's past grace to the Corinthians in saving them and confirming the reality of the Gospel. We see God's present grace to the Corinthian church in distributing spiritual gifts to them. We finally see God's future grace in promising to sustain believers in the faith to the end.
