The church of Corinth had some issues. All the things the members were doing glorified selfish men rather than the Lord. “When ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it. For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you” (1 Corinthians 11:18, 19). 

What happened to Korah and the two hundred fifty men who followed him? “And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods. They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation” (Numbers 16:32, 33). Seeing this, the people became convinced that God really did know what He was doing.

Thought: God gives churches pastors to lead God’s people to His High Priest (Jesus) who can restore their fellowship with their Father who waits with open arms.
