This Sunday, we’re grateful to begin our new study through the book of 1 Corinthians.
If you’ve ever wondered if the Bible is relevant in today’s world, you’ll never wonder again after this.
The letter was written by the apostle Paul a few years after planting the church in Corinth and it deals with issues that are just as relevant today as they were in Paul’s day.
Around A.D. 55, Paul wrote this letter from Ephesus to address reports he had received about the church and to answer specific questions the Corinthians had sent to him.
The book divides naturally into two sections:
Chapters 1-6 – Acknowledging Reports
Chapters 7-16 – Answering Questions
Over the coming weeks we’ll discover afresh that agape love is the glue that holds a church together, and that our lives as a church and individuals must always be centered on Jesus, His life, His death, and His resurrection.
We'll begin this week with 1:1-17.
