1 Corinthians 6:12-20 – The Hard Truth

July 18, 2015

Today we continue our study in 1 Corinthians with the second half of chapter 6. In our study, we will address immorality, specifically sexual immorality. The goal of our study is to recognize that the temptations that vexed the Corinthian Church also vex the church of today. We will acknowledge that and learn how to respond to temptation in our lives.

1 Corinthians 5

July 18, 2015

Today we continue our study in 1 Corinthians with chapter 5 as Paul confronts the Corinthian church on their tolerant attitude toward blatant, unrepentant sin among them. The goal of our study is to recognize that sin is a corrupting influence and blatant sin in the church should be confronted and dealt with, sternly and compassionately. And Paul says that sometimes this means putting an unrepentant brother or sister out of the fellowship. Find out how church discipline is carried out Biblically.

1 Corinthians 1:1-17 – A Problem Church

July 17, 2015

Today we begin our study in 1 Corinthians, a letter in which Paul confronts a young church with many problems. The Corinthian church had class problems, arguments over style, infighting lawsuits, and unconfronted immorality. The church at Corinth was full of problems, and its into this situation that the Apostle Paul wrote this letter. But, if we are to be honest, the church in Corinth doesn’t sound too far off from what we see going on in many churches today. But it’s not just the corporate church … worldliness finds it’s way into individual Christians, too. And so, this letter has direct application for today’s Christian in today’s world and for today’s church.
