Paul wrote his first letter to the church in Corinth addressing several problems in the church.\xa0 The first problem was divisions in the church.\xa0 The second problem that Paul addresses in the Corinthian church was the problem of fornication. \xa0
He stated that it was commonly reported that there was fornication in the church at Corinth.\xa0
We can gather from just those few words that that was a bad thing.\xa0 That there should be no fornication found in the church.\xa0 It should not have been found in the church in Corinth, and should not be found in the modern Christian church.\xa0
But what is fornication?\xa0 In this first message of chapter five, we define it.
