This is a ministry of striving for eternity. The book of 1 Corinthians. This is a letter from Paul.
00:19
One of two letters to the Corinthian church that are scripture. Now we see that Paul wrote at least three, maybe even four letters to this church.
00:29
This letter that we have is Paul is responding to some issues that the Corinthian church raised in a letter they wrote to him.

He's going to deal with their division and divisiveness that they had within the church. But then after he gets done with that, he then is going to start moving into different topics like some immorality that they had within the church.
01:15
He's going to deal with issues of marriage, issues of Christian liberty. He's going to deal with worship.

Under there you're going to see he's going to deal with things like men and women's roles, head coverings for women.

He's going to deal with the Lord's Supper and how to do that properly. He's going to address the issue of spiritual gifts.

Three whole chapters dealing with the proper use of spiritual gifts and the purpose of them. Then he's going to wrap it up with chapter 15 with a doctrinal chapter that's going to cover the doctrine of the resurrection.
