    • Corinth: note for its’ culture, commerce,
    and corruption

    • Greek mythology: Sisyphus

    • The church was founded on Paul’s 2nd


    missionary journey around 50-51 A.D.
    • Acts 18
    • 1After these things Paul departed from Athens
    and went to Corinth. 2And he found a certain
    Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, who had
    recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla
    (because Claudius had commanded all the Jews
    to depart from Rome); and he came to them.
    3So, because he was of the same trade, he
    stayed with them and worked; for by occupation
    they were tentmakers. 4And he reasoned in the
    synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded both
    Jews and Greeks.
    • 8Then Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue,
    believed on the Lord with all his household. And
    many of the Corinthians, hearing, believed and
    were baptized.
    • 9Now the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a
    vision, “Do not be afraid, but speak, and do not
    keep silent; 10for I am with you, and no one will
    attack you to hurt you; for I have many people in
    this city.” 11And he continued there a year and
    six months, teaching the word of God among
    them.
    Jesus Mission Statement
    • “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
    • Because He has anointed Me
    • To preach the gospel to the poor;
    • He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
    • To proclaim liberty to the captives
    • And recovery of sight to the blind,
    • To set at liberty those who are oppressed;
    • To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”
    • Luke 4:18-19
    • Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the
    Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we
    all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a
    mirror the glory of the Lord, are being
    transformed into the same image from
    glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the
    Lord. 2 Cor.3:17-18
    • “Stolen water is sweet,
    • And bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”
    • But he does not know that the dead are
    there,
    • That her guests are in the depths of hell.
    Pr.9:17-18
    • (Amp) “But he knows not the shades of death
    are there, that the specters are haunting the
    scenes of past transgressions”
    • And He came down with them and stood on a
    level place with a crowd of His disciples and a
    great multitude of people from all Judea and
    Jerusalem, and from the seacoast of Tyre and
    Sidon, who came to hear Him and be healed of
    their diseases, as well as those who were
    tormented with unclean spirits. And they were
    healed. And the whole multitude sought to touch
    Him, for power went out from Him and healed
    them all. Luke 6:17-19
    • Now it came to pass in those days that He went
    out to the mountain to pray, and continued all
    night in prayer to God. And when it was day, He
    called His disciples to Himself; and from them
    He chose twelve whom He also named apostles:
    Simon, whom He also named Peter, and Andrew
    his brother; James and John; Philip and
    Bartholomew; Matthew and Thomas; James the
    son of Alphaeus, and Simon called the Zealot;
    Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot who
    also became a traitor. LK.6:12-16
