Letters to Corinth: Intro

In the coming weeks I will be posting a series of blog posts titled, "Letters to Corinth". This is not anything I'm trying to peddle as some new or cool idea. There have probably been, in fact, I am quite certain that I've read blogs and listened to sermons on this same subject, possibly even titled exactly the same. This is a study of how God's words, through Paul, hold just as much weight as they did in the days of the early church.

The idea to do this really stems from hearing and reading so many passages from 1st & 2nd Corinthians over this summer and last year. I have felt a strong desire to study this and the idea came across to put this up on my blog and open to a bit of discussion. So over the coming weeks, intermingled with my other posts, there will be these, studying through 1st & 2nd Corinthians, dissecting how these two letters to the 1st century church in Corinth apply to the church today.

I will end this short introduction with a quote, specifically what Paul says in opening to the church in Corinth,

"I give thanks to my God always for you because of the grace of God that was given you in Christ Jesus, that in every way you were enriched in him in all speech and all knowledge— even as the testimony about Christ was confirmed among you— so that you are not lacking in any spiritual gift, as you wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will sustain you to the end, guiltless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord." -1 Corinthians 1:4-9 (ESV)
