A note from your Bible study mentor – 

Do you know of a perfect church? I’ve heard it said that if you do find a perfect church, don’t go to it because then it won’t be perfect. No believer is perfect, but growth should be evident.

Each church, group of believers, is made up of people in various stages of spiritual growth. Some are serious believers, and some are just attendees.

Paul wrote to the church in Corinth to help them with some trouble in the church. Do you have any idea what that trouble was?
