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 Information

02:16 The Formal Structure of Paul's Letters

04:42 Challenges in Studying 1 Corinthians

08:59 Paul's Call for Unity

11:38 Divisions in the Corinthian Church

14:40 Paul's Critique of Worldly Wisdom

20:43 Modern Parallels and Personal Reflections

23:17 Teaching Discernment Through God's Word

24:02 The Foolishness of the Cross

26:43 God's Wisdom vs. Human Wisdom

29:54 Paul's Message to the Corinthians

37:09 The Mind of Christ
