The Cross over Compromise: A Series on 1 Corinthians
January 12, 2025-March 2, 2025
The city of Corinth was well-known in the Roman world. It was wealthy, well-educated, and influential. It was also a place filled with moral laxity, promiscuity, and religious pluralism. Living as Christian in Corinth meant being confronted with temptations to compromise from every side—spiritual, moral, intellectual, and practical. But as Paul writes to these Christians, he reminds them that there is one thing that shatters the wisdom and ways of the world: the cross of Jesus. As we consider Paul’s words to the Corinthians, God invites us to consider again what it means to live as people of the cross in a world of compromise.
