Conflict in Corinth

In this first message of our "Corinthian Correspondence" series, Pastor Ben introduces this important letter from the apostle Paul. In 1 Corinthians, Paul gives us instructions on dealing with conflict, addressing sin in the church, the right use of spiritual gifts, and more. This letter contains some of the most memorable passages anywhere in Scripture with Paul's famous description of love in chapter 13 and his lengthy explanation of the significance of resurrection in chapter 15. This introductory message sets the historical stage and examines Paul's argument for the centrality of Christ both in our individual lives and in the corporate life of the local church.
