In What Happens in Corinth, J. D. Walt digs in to the apostle Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians. Paul was writing to a fledgling community of about 150 people in a city of 150,000. And these 150 believers were a hot mess. Paul doesn’t spend any time wishing for a better church; he works with what God gave him. He knows it only takes a few truly consecrated souls to turn the world upside down.

Though what happens in Vegas may stay in Vegas, what happened in Corinth has reached the entire world. This ancient correspondence to the Corinthian church will lead on a winding journey of constant interplay between profound truth and practical (and often painful) problems, which look a lot like our problems. Along the way we will hear the gospel in ways both delighting and confounding. Paul’s Holy Spirit–inspired letter will take us from rigorous perversion to the power of the resurrection.

Jesus is coming to Corinth, and to Vegas, and to your town, and, yes, what happens after that will go everywhere.
