Christ’s Church in a Corrupt Culture

1 Corinthians Sermon Series

Series Description: What instructions, corrections, encouragements, and hope must the church have to navigate the troubled waters of living in a pagan society? Paul’s first letter to the church at Corinth gives us a picture of the challenges and opportunities facing the early church trying to survive in a wicked and twisted culture. The lessons, warnings and help written in 1 Corinthians provides a roadmap for believers in the 21st century who face similar issues such as preaching the gospel in a resistant climate; divisions within the church; personality conflicts; avoiding sexual immorality; offending the conscience; differences in doctrine; and the debate over spiritual gifts. But throughout the book, the message of the gospel, the power of God’s love and the eternal hope of the resurrection shine through making 1 Corinthians is a letter written for our times.
