1 & 2 Corinthians

Paul's letters to the Corinthians speak to the concerns of today's headlines. Sexual escapades among church leaders, lawsuits among disgruntled church members, and unethical fiscal practices in Christian institutions seem to parade across our television screens. Instead of being noticeably different from the world, the church has often mirrored its surroundings. What would God say to churches and individuals who have strayed from his truth? He spoke nearly two thousand years ago through Paul to the Christians in decadent Corinth, a city similar to many communities today. Paul wrote letters, now known as 1 & 2 Corinthians, urging believers to focus on Christ, forsake immorality, settle their differences, reject false teachers, and love each other. These personal and powerful epistles, written first to believers in ancient Greece, present truths and principles that apply to our generation as well.
