The message of the culture divides and is diametrically opposed to the message of the cross where God's people unite together at the foot of the cross. Here, we can be encouraged about who we are becoming in Christ as we stumble along this path of salvation. This segment addresses divisions in the church, then and today.

When we start on this path of salvation, we find that we still have to contend with the flesh and with an enemy who wants to deceive and destroy us. We live in a culture much like Corinth with its moral degradation and snares of the enemy, designed to turn us away from God and His ways. Join Pastor Lloyd for this opening of First Corinthians which lays the foundation for the rest of the study.
