7 Lenses For Christians In Corinth

Could Jesus live in Corinth? In our opening lesson exploring First Corinthians, we are going to put on a set of lenses to see the church and the world anew. These 7 lenses show how a Christian can navigate their way in a dark world and yet see others (and themselves) in the light of hope. Yes, Jesus could live in Corinth. The pressing question then is whether Corinth will see Jesus in us.

The sermon today is titled "7 Lenses For Christians In Corinth." It is the first installment in our series "City Lights: Bearing Witness To A Culture In Crisis." The Scripture reading is from Ephesians 4:3-6 (NIV). Originally preached at the West Side Church of Christ (Searcy, AR) on August 18, 2024. All lessons fit under one of 5 broad categories: Begin, Discover, Grow, Learn, and Serve. This sermon is filed under LEARN: Christian Scripture.
