1 Corinthians 1 Bible Study - The Ekklesia of God

Updated: Apr 11

Dive into this 1 Corinthians 1 Bible Study entitled The Ekklesia of God. In it, we will delve into the rich historical and cultural background of the city of Corinth, setting the stage for a deeper understanding of Paul's letter to the Corinthians. Corinth, an ancient Roman colony, was a bustling cosmopolitan center teeming with various ethnicities and cultures. The city was renowned for its pottery, Corinthian brass, and the infamous temple of Aphrodite, which housed over 1,000 prostitutes. Corinth was also known for its moral corruption, with rampant idolatry, immorality, and debauchery prevalent in society. Paul's letter to the Corinthians addresses these issues head-on, condemning behaviors such as fornication, idolatry, adultery, and more that had made its way into the church.

Paul's greeting to the Corinthian church underscores his authority as an apostle of Christ Jesus, called by the will of God. He also highlights the sanctification of the believers in Corinth, emphasizing their calling to be saints set apart for God's purposes.


The sermon explores the significance of the church as the assembly of God's people, united under His purpose. It challenges modern-day Christians to consider whether the church is influencing society or being influenced by it.


The message extends gratitude to God for His grace and the spiritual enrichment bestowed upon the Corinthian believers. Despite their shortcomings and struggles, Paul acknowledges the abundance of spiritual gifts among them, attributing their existence to God's faithfulness.


Ultimately, the sermon series on 1 Corinthians offers a compelling journey into the cultural context and timeless truths of Paul's letter, inviting viewers to reflect on the relevance of its message for today's church and society.
