Belief Affects Behavior - The Back Story

Knowing the backstory can make scripture come alive! 1 Corinthians is a letter written to the church in Corinth, who faced enormous pressure to compromise in order to fit in in a culture that valued success, materialism, and celebrity. We can relate. Paul reminds them, and us, to keep the main thing the main thing, Jesus Christ, and that what we believe about Jesus will drive our response to cultural pressure.
