1 Corinthians 4:8-21Gospel Transformation

We can get comfortable, like the Corinthians in their super-city (settle in, don’t make waves, ride the cultural trends and bide our time). Paul, as a spiritual father gets a little sarcastic to reveal their hidden attitudes. He challenges them to dare to be different. He shows by example what it means to be a disciple-maker instead of deadweight. Join us as Bobby breaks down Paul's challenge to the Corinthians.

DATE: July 20 - 21, 2024
SPEAKER: Senior Teaching Pastor, Bobby Parschauer
