Sealed With a Kiss

Sealed with a Kiss
July 12, 2020

For the past five and a half months we’ve been studying Paul’s first letter to the church at Corinth. When we began this study on February 2, we had no idea of the things that lay ahead of us in the months to come. Who could have imagined all that has transpired around the world, and here in our own nation? In a very real way, the foundation of our global civilization is being shaken, and the fabric of our nation continues to fray. Paul’s words to the Corinthian believers are practical and purposeful, filled with exhortation and encouragement about what it means to authentically live out a vibrant faith in a broken world; to fully embrace our freedom in Christ, acknowledging that we have not only been freed FROM something, but FOR something. In a season of confusion and division in their world and in ours, Paul has reminded us that our focus must be on the eternal, not the temporary. This intensely practical study has been incredibly timely for us. The unshakeable truth of God’s Word is our firm foundation, even and perhaps especially, in uncertain days.

We are wrapping up our Messy Church series this weekend, with a look at Paul’s concluding words to the Corinthians in chapter 16, which he seals with a kiss. I hope you’ll join us – in person, or online – this Sunday!
