Churches come in all shapes and sizes, and because they are made up of forgiven but still imperfect people; they can be MESSY! Corinth was one of the largest and most important cities of Greece. It was strategically located, economically prosperous, and morally corrupt. The Apostle Paul planted a church in this affluent and pagan city on his 2nd missionary trip. He left the church in the capable hands of a young and eloquent speaker named Apollos, but problems began almost immediately. The church was experiencing some serious issues and wrestling with some important questions which Paul addressed head on in his letter we call 1 Corinthians. Issues and questions which still plague and too often divide churches yet today.
