1 Corinthians Overview | RIOT Podcast

About this Episode

1 Corinthians Overview is the topic that will be discussed today on RIOT Podcast, a Christian Discipleship Podcast.


How can the church remain holy in a culture consumed by wealth and immorality?

The book of 1 Corinthians is one of Paul’s most practical and urgent letters—written to a young church struggling to live for Christ in the middle of a wealthy but deeply immoral city. Division, immorality, lawsuits, idolatry, misuse of spiritual gifts, and confusion about love and the resurrection—Paul addresses it all.

In this week’s episode, we step back and look at the overview of 1 Corinthians before diving into the chapters in future shows. We’ll explore the history and culture of Corinth, why Paul wrote this letter, and why his words are still just as timeless and relevant for the church today.
