1 Corinthians 1:1-9
1 Corinthians video overview:
https://bibleproject.com/explore/video/1-corinthians/?utm_source=web_social_share&medium=shared_video
Intro:
Welcome to Corinth! In the ancient world, this cosmopolitan city connecting Europe and Asia was well known for its sexual promiscuity, wealth and greed, along with its religious diversity and idolatry. The Apostle Paul spent many months of his life here making disciples. But several years have passed and the church seems to have relapsed into many of its old pagan habits. Paul writes to set them straight. And he begins by reminding them about Jesus. In the first nine verses alone, he mentions Jesus nine times. To Paul, Jesus is the most irreducible truth in the universe. Everything hinges on Jesus Christ and the plan that God is slowly and irreversibly revealing through him and how Jesus seeks to live out that plan through us, his followers.
“For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.” - 1 Corinthians 2:2
