In the books of 1 & 2 Corinthians, Paul is writing to the church that he had established at Corinth, but was enduring some difficulties. Paul is pastorally seeking to deal with issues and lead the church up higher. From these letters, we can see that first century churches were not always perfect, just like our churches today are not always perfect. What lessons do we learn from the church at Corinth and how can we apply them today? Are these principles applicable to us today, as well?
