Corinth had many issues. It was full of sin and other issues, but it was a place that was open to hearing about Christ! This teaching is an intro to the book of 1 Corinthians and also tackles division in the Body of Christ.

The Bible discusses the idea of two different types of wisdom. One if the wisdom of the World and the other is the wisdom of God. These two different types of wisdom often collide with one another. One offers true purpose and deep relationships whereas the other leaves people feeling empty.

When we meet Christ, there are many things that become true of us now that we are a child of God. The Bible talks about that we have the mind of Christ. We can understand spiritual truths in a different way. Paul explains more on this topic when he addresses the church in Corinth as they are faced with the wisdom of God versus the wisdom of the world.

Transformation begins in the mind. In this passage, Paul distinguishes between the natural man and the spiritual man. One cannot understand the things of God whereas the other one has the mind of Christ. When a believer allows his or her mind to be transformed, others aspects of their lives will change as well.

Corinth struggled in many areas including following human leaders instead of God. Serving just the Lord, eternal life, and how we should not store up treasures here on earth are all covered.

Paul addresses a destructive issue in the Corinthian church--pride. Pride often leads to Christians to judge, which Paul says should usually be left to God, and he says it leads to Christians having a destructive sense of superiority.

This teaching covers giving up your rights to be able to reach others for Christ. It is common that being a Christian puts us at odds with our culture. How can we reach people who are very different than us? Where is it important to draw lines to remain faithful to Christ? This teaching helps cover these questions.

God pursues concrete goals and we are made in his image so we can make goals under God's direction. Refusing to set or pursue concrete goals may be sinful and reflecting a sluggard (lazy) attitude.

Paul looks back on the story of the Exodus to illustration how to grow spiritually. To grow spiritually, we need to have a thirst for God. We also need to be wary of anything that would take precedence over God. Paul shows how many of the experiences the Hebrews had during the time of the Exodus are still prevalent in our lives today
