Intro to First Corinthians

It's hard to envision a local church, comprised of scripturally baptiized believers, indwelt by the Holy Spirit - that could conduct itself as egregoriously as the church at Corinth did, even after the Apostle Paul invested so much time in building it around sound gospel. In fact, it has drifted so far that, if not for the Bible recognizing it as a church, we would assume God's presence has departed.
