Grace is Better Than Gruff - 1 Corinthians 1:1-9.

The heart of Paul, like the heart of King David, is amazing. Both parallel the heart of Jesus Christ Himself. We see how amazing such a heart is when we remember what situation Paul is really in.

Paul planted the church in Corinth about ten years before this current epistle was written. The church had slid into sexual immorality and a host of other sins. There was pride and arrogance, factions and divisions, hatred and discord. There were court cases among them, the offering of food to idols and even a rejection of the Apostle Himself with hints and allegations of misuse or theft of the funds entrusted to him.
