Collide Church

When you try to combine the church with the culture, the result is chaos — and the book of 1 Corinthians is proof of that. In this letter, Paul tenderly addresses the church that he planted in Corinth and dives headfirst into its unbridled dysfunction. Through the lens of the gospel, he cuts through the noise and painstakingly tackles their confusion on topics such as division, sexuality, Christian freedom, gender roles, corporate worship, and the resurrection — all of which are relevant pressure points in the modern church today. In a culture that attempts to blur the lines between the worldly and the godly, we too need to remember our calling to be countercultural.
