This coming Sunday at Eastbrook Church we begin a new preaching series entitled “God’s Grace for an Imperfect Church: 1 Corinthians.” This series is an exploration of the Apostle Paul’s letter that we know as 1 Corinthians. Ranging through a wild ride of various challenges, this epistle brings the gospel into connection with topics which are part of our everyday life with God: power, legal disputes, unity, sex, marriage, divorce, singleness, freedom, worship, money, idolatry, our bodies, and so much. Join us for this rollicking adventure in discipleship.
