1 Corinthians

The book of 1 Corinthians is a letter from an apostle who loves a church that has started to lose sight of the gospel as the center. The powerful encouragement Paul gives and the many issues he addresses spring from a desire to see the cross of Christ functioning and operating at the center of every part of their lives and church. Every generation faces the temptation to displace Christ as the center with cultural values, attitudes, and priorities, so what a gift this letter is to every church, including ours!
