Sermons About Corinth
Mission to Corinth: I have many people in this city
As the gospel enters difficult places there is always a collision of values, and there is usually fruit. That was true in each strategic city Paul entered on his second missionary journey (Philippi, Athens, Corinth and Ephesus). Corinth was one of the most difficult places Paul had ever been. After a short time of ministry there he was overwhelmed and almost ready to give up. He had never encountered anything so difficult. Yet in the midst of his difficulty, God gave him encouragement to keep going, just as He does for us today.

Sexuality
In our culture today there is a predominant view that sex is just an act; something you do. In his letter to the church in Corinth, Paul makes the case that sexuality involves more than just our bodies. This is about so much more than a physical experience and in this sermon, Jed helps us to understand that sex is God's idea and He has a purpose for it.

Go CROSS cultural
As Christians we must embrace that we have been left here in this world on purpose. This means we must live for Christ in the midst of culture. The church in Corinth new what it mean to live and struggle to follow Christ in a powerful...overwhelming culture. 1 Corinthians 8-9 helps understand what it means to follow Christ and Go CROSS cultural.
