Relating to the World Around Us
Paul tells us to "become all things to all men," and this command comes from his observation of the Christmas Story. Jesus came and adjusted Himself to the world He was sent to, without falling into the sins of this world. How do we also then come alongside and enter into the world around us? What does it mean to become all things to all men? 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.
