Limits of Liberty
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 8:1-13
Intro
Baptist Distinctives
Series
That’s where the series title “Living in Light of Eternity” comes from.

The city of Corinth was a key seaport city in the Roman Empire’s trade route. Like many other wealthy crossroads cities, it had a reputation for immorality, religious diversity and corruption. A lot like our culture today. As we read this letter to another group of Christians in another church from another century, let’s watch for principles or teachings that apply to our church community right here in Dunkirk.
