If First Corinthians was a show, it might be slotted into the daytime melodrama genre. This letter has it all: fighting, sex, jealousy, divorce, money, and death. Like many of the apostle's works, First Corinthians reminds us how dysfunctional the early church was. Two thousand years on, the church's warts show no sign of fading. In some ways, that's good news. If Paul held out hope for this stunted community, God's people today are in no less position to receive his transforming and sanctifying grace.
The difference is that we have the opportunity to learn from their moral failures, not to mention their gross misunderstanding of the gospel. But it's also a cautionary tale-many of the behaviors celebrated within the church today are patterns the founders of our faith ardently opposed. Thus, we're left to wonder: Can this epistle offer some guidance on such things? Amid the turmoil present in this letter and paralleled in our present world, there is hope. This study will walk us through a vision of what a life of faith in Jesus Christ, God's Son, can look like.
