1 Corinthians 5:1-2

Pornography is a subtle threat to human relationships, as it distorts the idea of ​​intimacy and reduces the other to a simple object of desire. It fuels lust, preventing us from experiencing authentic and deep love. However, God offers us a solution through a love that is based on sacrifice, respect, and mutual care. By following His teachings, we can rediscover the true beauty of intimate relationships, learning to value the other and build healthy bonds, far from the traps of pornography and based on true communion.

The first epistle to the Corinthians covers several issues that are relevant to Christians today. By drawing lessons from 1 Corinthians 1-7, Dr. David Mende encourages us to live for Christ in a corrupt world.

The church at Corinth was plagued by internal division and sinful derision. Paul provides the only solution potent enough for their disunity and spiritual disruptions: “Jesus Christ and Him crucified” (1 Corinthians 1:10). 1 Corinthians reminds us that by focusing on Jesus and His glorious resurrection, we too will “be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the word of the Lord” (1 Corinthians 15:58).

In part two of a five-part, verse-by-verse journey through the Book of 1 Corinthians, we'll dive into chapters 4–6 as we discover what real church looks like and how believers are meant to work through issues together.
