Today we read that Paul had received word that the church had gotten off track in Corinth because of divisions. The church had become a popularity contest of sorts. The troubles the church in Corinth experienced are not too far removed from the struggles the church in America encounters today. Paul exhorted the church in Corinth to unity, may we be encouraged to have the same.

Today, we begin to look at Paul’s letter to the church at Corinth. He begins with calling the church to know who they are when they look back to remember and who they are when they look forward to the future. This is where Paul begins as he addresses a church struggling with worldliness, yet he wants them to remember that God is faithful.

The life verse we are looking at today is 25 words of hope that begins with God and ends with life. And it urges us to do the same.

Many of us have verses that are our go to verses. We often call them life verses. This Summer we are looking at some life verses. They may be some of yours too. Today, we are looking at Isaiah 26.8.
