CURRENT STUDY

United: Life in the Body of Christ

First Corinthians is one of several letters the Apostle Paul wrote to the church in Corinth. It addresses several issues plaguing Corinthian believers that impaired their Christian witness. The issues stemmed from a quarreling and divisive spirit, fueled by the lingering influence of Corinth’s worldliness. As a result, First Corinthians is one of the most applicable, practical epistles for all believers in all churches at all times.

ONE STORY 

The Bible is actually one book—one amazing work of literature —historical, theological, and anthropological. It is the one story of redemption. One harmonious, unified narrative of deliverance and salvation that has emerged from a diversity of authors, circumstances, and literary forms. It is a miracle of inspiration and preservation that provides us with the progressive revelation of God’s character and his plan to reconcile fallen creation to himself.
