Gifts That Build the Church (Part 2 of 2)

One commentator has described the Corinthian church as a dumpster fire: sexual immorality, cliques, snobbery, spiritual arrogance, lawsuits among believers—they were doing it all. And Paul hasn’t held back his rebuke. But his final words in 1 Corinthians reflect not rejection but redemptive love, showing that even a deeply flawed church has a future. Christians are called to move forward in love—restored by grace, modeling forgiveness, honoring one another, giving generously, and striving for unity.
