Crossroads (Week 2) - Introduction Pt. 2 (1 Corinthians 1:1-9)

Do you remember back when people used to write letters and mail them? That seems like a long time ago, doesn’t it? In our fast-paced world today, whether it’s on your phone, iPad, or a computer keyboard, information is shared instantaneously. We have even found ways to use a single letter in the alphabet to mean an entire word and emojis to express feelings, thoughts or sentiments. Communication has certainly changed, but is it better?

Last week in our new series “Crossroads,” Pastor Clay helped us understand some of the background concerning the city of Corinth and Paul’s motivation for writing these letters and we also started into Paul’s opening greeting to the church in verses 1 through 9.

In our communications in this digital world today, the opening greeting may not be as significant as it once was. But, as we’ll hear today, what Paul had to say in his opening greeting in these letters not only had significant meaning for the church in Corinth, but it has significant meaning for the church today.
