1 Korintiyawa 1:7

The 4-weeks leading up to Christmas help us get ready for the birth of our Savior. Experience hope, faith, joy, and peace as you read through this 4-day devotion series shared by The Lutheran Home Association's chaplains.

Join us as we celebrate the God who was and is and is to come with the release of our new single, Holy Holy (Always Be). Each day of this devotional you'll join in reflection with our songwriters and worship leaders on the scriptures behind the song and how it connects, inspires, and challenges us in our walk with Jesus.

The Corinthian church—perhaps like ours—was struggling with division, immaturity and immorality. The apostle Paul pulls no punches, but points them to the cross; because “to us who are being saved it is the power of God”.

Christianity calls us to sacrifice instead of living for oneself. We can't do both. Paul wrote about this in his letter to a divided and self-centered people to remind them to follow Jesus and only Jesus. In this RightNow Media study, Jennie Allen walks into the messy lives of the Corinthians and takes us through Paul’s words to learn how we should distinguish ourselves from the culture even today.
