Pastor Andrew Yi brings us Part 6 in our Corinthians series. The Apostle Paul wrote two significant letters in the New Testament to the church in Corinth he helped to start in 50 AD. He lived with them for 18 months, developing relationship and teaching them the way of following Jesus. During his stay in the city of Ephesus, roughly 4 years later, Paul received troubling news of what was transpiring in Corinth, and he wrote the letter we call 1st Corinthians in response. We will spend winter and spring studying this epic letter where Paul offers practical solutions to real problems within the lives of those who made up the church in Corinth.

As we turn to 1 Corinthians 4, we see Paul conclude the first section of his letter. Eagerly and passionately, he shows the Corinthians what it means to be a true follower of Jesus. Studying this chapter, we discover that the practical implications of this section remain important for us today.
