What this episode covers

"I love Jesus, but I am more comfortable thinking about sin." None of us wants this to be the thought that runs through our minds, but sometimes the verses we identify with best are the ones about sin, God's hatred of sin, and His discipline when we DO sin. For churchgoers, years of preaching has helped perpetuate this. When speakers spend an inordinate amount of time focusing on sin and our need to repent of it and add only a brief tag at the end about God's ability to forgive, it seems as if all God can ever focus on is our sin! In turn, the thing we focus on best is our own sin! This Sunday, we will look at 1 Corinthians 10 and how Paul addresses the sin of the Corinthian church. Is sin Paul's primary focus? Is sin the main focal point of this scripture, or is there something more powerful about God to be found that maybe, just maybe, is the focus of these verses and that defines what should also be our primary focus in life?
