When people become Christians, they don’t at the same time become nice. This always comes as something of a surprise. Beginning to follow Christ doesn’t automatically give a person manners and morals. It is the same story today as it was a few thousand years ago. One city in particular, Corinth, had a reputation in the ancient world as unruly, hard-living, and promiscuous. Paul writes a letter that reviews the old ground of belief and action.
"Letters to Corinth", a series by Teaching Pastor Dave Terpstra and Community Pastor Brian Gray, walks through this instructional and inspirational letter by the apostle Paul. A firm, clear, affectionate review of belief and action is as needed today as it was then. |
