1 Corinthians (1 Co) 5:6-8

Paul often asked in his letters "know ye not?" when speaking about sin. The beloved Apostle was showing us that knowledge is the difference between a life mired in sin and one full of freedom. In this 5-day Bible plan, you'll learn about who you are in Christ, what He has done for you, your freedom from sin and how you can live for Him.

More than likely you have seen or experienced conflict among Christians, even to the point of people leaving the church. It's not pleasant to be confronted by Christians who don't act like the Jesus they serve. But what if living in this tension was what God intended? How do we respond with grace and forgiveness when we are hurt by Christians?

The first epistle to the Corinthians covers several issues that are relevant to Christians today. By drawing lessons from 1 Corinthians 1-7, Dr. David Mende encourages us to live for Christ in a corrupt world.

The church at Corinth was plagued by internal division and sinful derision. Paul provides the only solution potent enough for their disunity and spiritual disruptions: “Jesus Christ and Him crucified” (1 Corinthians 1:10). 1 Corinthians reminds us that by focusing on Jesus and His glorious resurrection, we too will “be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the word of the Lord” (1 Corinthians 15:58).
