1 Corinthians | Life as Believers

1 Corinthians is a letter from Paul in response to some serious questions from the church in Corinth concerning their environment — one which was surrounded by corruption and every conceivable sin, to which they were being pressured to adapt. Corinth of the day was a major cosmopolitan city, a seaport and a major trade center filled with diversity and pluralistic values. As Paul speaks to the various struggles in the church He takes a strong and straightforward approach with church leaders by emphasizing the clear and simple gospel message around which all believers should rally. Sandwiched in the middle of all the issues is his magnificent description of the greatest gift — which is Love.
