Week of January 11

The Body of Christ, the Universal Church, and the Local Churches

On January 2–4, the Metro Cleveland churches gathered to read the first three chapters of First Corinthians. In these verses we saw how Paul presented Christ as the wisdom of God, the unique solution to any of the problems found in the church in Corinth. Then, on January 11, in a message given by our brother James, we saw a high view of what the church is. In the next few weeks, we’ll take a look at Christ and the church in more detail.
