Sermon Notes-"Shout Out"
Here are my sermon notes from my message today at Hesston MB Church based on 1 Corinthians 1:4-9. Introduction: In our verses this morning, we will hear Paul giving some shout outs to the Corinthians but ultimately to God himself. God gives grace vs. 4-6 · Vs. 4-I thank God for you o In what ways, have you told God thank you for the people around you? What about those in this room? Your Workplace? Your Home? o In our culture of put downs, name calling and negativity, it is refreshing to see Paul start with encouragement and praise even though Paul has some difficult things he needs to address. · Vs. 4-Why does Paul thank God? o Because of grace given you in Christ Jesus § Grace is “favor, goodwill, free benovolence, gift, benefit” offered or given by Jesus in spite of you. You might say you don’t deserve it. You are right. § Jesus gives grace freely based on who He is not who you are or what you have done. Re
