Topics: immorality

Today we continue our study in 1 Corinthians with chapter 7. We will look at marriage, being single, and being celibate. The goal of our study is to understand that living as God has called us is radical. Trying to be something that God has not made us to be is harmful to ourselves and to others.

1 Corinthians 1:1-17 – A Problem Church

July 17, 2015

Pastor Shawn

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.
