THE FIRST EPISTLE TO THE CORINTHIANS
Listen to Pastor Bill Stonebraker at your convenience in this powerful verse-by-verse study through the book of FIRST CORINTHIANS.
The Apostle Paul wrote this letter from Ephesus around A.D. 56 – during his third missionary journey. He sent it to purify the church from divisions and immorality. The church at Corinth, founded by Paul on his second missionary journey, had become infected by the evils surrounding it in a very licentious city. The Greeks who lived there, although excelling in learning and philosophy, were nonetheless addicted to gross immorality. Divisons had also arisen, based in part on a comparison of church leaders.
In First Corinthians, Paul aims to combat the worldliness which had crept into the church, along with the divisiveness, giving a true view of the ministry. Study along with us, and learn to live unified and holy in the midst of an impure world.
May the Lord bless you as you open His Word.
