Counter Cultural

February 2019 – Present

Corinth was a bustling capital city filled with entrepreneurs, sports stars, and people from all over the globe who wanted to get ahead. It had so much going for it. But morally, well let’s just say it was known as the city where “anything goes!” If you were a Christian living there, how would you remain faithful to who you are in Jesus without being influenced to be something you’re not? God called the Corinthians and he calls us today to live counter-cultural lives so our friends, family and colleagues can know the freedom in Jesus Christ!
