Acts 18 records the planting of a small church with just a few converts in the impressive first century city of Corinth. It was a place at odds with the Gospel and filled with the best things the world had to offer. In his letter of 1 Corinthians, Paul addressed many challenges and struggles which faced that young church. He encouraged them to be a church that honors God and reaches out to a watching world.

The church in Corinth existed across the globe and nearly two millennia before NAPC, but it has much to teach us. On Sunday, August 27th we continue our Small Group Journey: Corinth in the 1st century, New Albany in the 21s and we learn that the message of the Gospel is will only be recognized as true and powerful to those who are called. Therefore we should not be ashamed if people reject it, nor should we try to adapt it to the times in which we live to make it more appealing.
