Featuring: Pastor Lucas Miles In this kickoff to our summer teaching series through 1 Corinthians, Pastor Lucas Miles sets the stage by exploring the wild, influential, and morally complex city of Corinth. Known in ancient times as a cultural and commercial hub, Corinth was also infamous for its immorality—so much so that the term “Corinthian woman” became shorthand for promiscuity.As Pastor Lucas explains, this wasn’t just a random New Testament letter—it was Paul’s response to a church planted in the middle of chaos. And while the city may be ancient, its challenges feel eerily familiar in today’s cultural climate.00:38 Paul's Sources of Information02:16 The Formal Structure of Paul's Letters04:42 Challenges in Studying 1 Corinthians08:59 Paul's Call for Unity11:38 Divisions in the Corinthian Church14:40 Paul's Critique of Worldly Wisdom20:43 Modern Parallels and Personal Reflections23:17 Teaching Discernment Through God's Word24:02 The Foolishness of the Cross26:43 God's Wisdom vs. Human Wisdom29:54 Paul's Message to the Corinthians37:09 The Mind of Christ41:51 Communion and Closing Remarks🧠 What You’ll Learn:Why Paul’s letter to the Corinthians is still so relevant todayThe historical and cultural backdrop of the city of CorinthWhat made Corinth a strategic (and spiritually dangerous) cityHow the early church wrestled with cultural compromise—and how we still doA preview of key themes we’ll explore this summer in the series A Church Gone Wild🙏 Need prayer?
