Sadly, Paul wasn’t surprised to hear the accounts of what was happening with the church in Corinth. He knew they had some destructive tendencies. As Pastor Bill will point out in today’s message, most of us know someone like that… you hear the bad rumors and you have little reason to doubt they’re true. But, just like Paul, as loving brothers and sisters in Christ, we shouldn’t give up on each other. Paul didn’t write them off as too far gone, he penned this letter in hopes of guiding them back to truth.
