Of all the New Testament writings, the first letter to the Corinthians stands out as a "church letter." Just like your average church, the letter is practical and beautiful, as well as messy and uncomfortable at times. As we seek the role of God's word in our everyday lives as a local church in the Twin Cities, we believe that 1 Corinithians will help us imagine how to discern the Spirit's leading in the midst of the daily, dirty, and familiar—and ultimately point us to the hope of the Gospel that moves us in our everyday lives.
