After challenging the Corinthians on a number of difficult issues, it seems Paul senses a need to pause from the weighty topics and remind them of their foundations in the Gospel. In the midst of busy lives, challenging circumstances and our own sin and doubts, we need this same reminder! The Gospel isn't just our starting point in the faith, it is what sustains and guides us throughout our lives, until the day Christ completes the work He began in us ABOUT THIS 1 CORINTHIANS SERIES:Life is messy. Church life is messy. Every church has problems, because every church is made up of people. But God has called His people to come together to live life alongside each other and to encourage and carry each other, even amid difficult and challenging circumstances. The Apostle Paul planted a church in Corinth, Greece, and it very quickly became a church that dealt with many problems. They lacked maturity and wisdom, despite being a very gifted church. 1 Corinthians is a fatherly challenge and guide to them to help them get back on track and grow in the wisdom they need.
