Living a Good Life during Evil Times- Part 2

Living a good life, a godly life, is not easy...even on our best days. There are times in our lives that we are living in what seems like evil, dark time. These seasons could be long or short. It is easy to want to give up and quit. During our series teaching through 1 Corinthians in the Bible we talk about how we can live a good, godly life even when we find ourselves living in a place or time that is dark and evil.

The early followers of Jesus that lived in Corinth lived in a culture and a city that was a mess. The temple of Aphrodite and the geographic location of the city as a port city, with ports on the Eastern and Western side, led to prostitution. The city was a melting pot of ideas and philosophies from around the world as traveling teachers, rabbis, and philosophers made their way through the city debating and teaching.

This is part 2 of the series. Despite what their city and Greco-Roman culture celebrated when it came to sexuality, these early believers were called to follow God's design for human sexuality and be an example of a different way.
