Corinth 1: Encourage the Discouraged (1 Corinthians)

Paul arrives in Corinth discouraged due to lack of fruit, funds, and fellowship. God sovereignly provides encouragement in all those areas as an example to all His servants.

The cosmopolitan, commercial, and corrupt city of Corinth is described in order to give the context and summary of Paul's corresponding letter of 1 Corinthians in this sermon. Division and immorality in the church is best defeated through identity and unity in Christ.
