A Sermon for our Gospel Choir Sunday,
Rooke Chapel Congregation, 10/6/19
Our semester’s theme,
as many of you know by now,
is big questions.
And it’s likely, upon reading our text today from
1 Corinthians,
that you had a few questions of your own,
including, perhaps,
“What is Paul prattling on about?”
And, perhaps also,
“Why would Kurt choose this text?”
And finally, I imagine,
“Can’t we get back to the music?”
To the last of these questions I say, “Yes, very shortly.”
But I do wish to address the first two ever-so-briefly first,
if you’ll allow me.
The Corinthian Church –
which Paul loved, and also probably hated,
had a problem.
Actually, they had a lot of problems.
