Intro to 1 Corinthians

The church in Corinth was started by Paul during one of his missionary journeys. Unfortunately, after he left it under local leadership, returned from Christ to Chaos. As we study, this book will be challenged in many ways to examine our own church, our own selves, our understanding of God and our understanding of holiness. Among other things, we will look at sexuality, spiritual gifts, and the issues of men and women and the church.
