1ST CORINTHIANS

The apostle Paul planted the church in Corinth during his second missionary journey (Acts 18:1-17) and wrote this letter in response to reports from Cleo’s household (1:11), visitors from the church (5-6), and personal letters (7:1). The problems identified in the Corinthian church are pastorally addressed by Paul as he liberally applies the word and work of Jesus to every relational, moral, ethical, sensual, and spiritual problem. The letter is important for us today because we too have issues in the church, and the gospel remains God’s solution to redeem, restore, re-order, and renew our relationship with Jesus, one another, and our participation in God’s work in the world.
