The apostle Paul wrote 1 Corinthians to a church divided over all kinds of issues. He answers questions about sex and relationships, how to know good leaders from bad ones, and what to expect during a church gathering. This letter reminds us that God’s design for the church is unity, not uniformity. Part of the church’s strength comes from the unique experiences, gifts, and abilities we bring to it.

1 Corinthians: A 35-Day Reading Plan

The church at Corinth was plagued by internal division and sinful derision. Paul provides the only solution potent enough for their disunity and spiritual disruptions: “Jesus Christ and Him crucified” (1 Corinthians 1:10). 1 Corinthians reminds us that by focusing on Jesus and His glorious resurrection, we too will “be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the word of the Lord” (1 Corinthians 15:58). 

Unity: A Study in 1 Corinthians

When the Bible is confusing, Through the Word explains it—with clear and concise audio guides for every chapter. Here in 1st Corinthians, Paul writes to a messy church with a lot of issues. From division and infighting to sin and self-righteousness, Paul addresses many of the same issues we face in church today. Join Chase Acuña for a clear explanation and practical application in 1st Corinthians 1-8.

1 Corinthians Explained Part 1 | Messy Church

Let’s explore how we can influence the culture with the truth of God’s word through 1 and 2 Corinthians! These two letters are a powerful message from the Apostle Paul to a church that was passionate about its mission but needed direction to remain true to its Christian faith and doctrines. Those priorities make his letters important teaching for every Christian.

Gifted to Serve

Who hasn’t struggled to keep Jesus Christ at the center of their life? The Corinthians did, too. In this letter that draws beauty from ashes, we learn diversity is a gift, freedom in Christ is forever, and our unity flows from God’s love and His Spirit in us. Trusted Bible teacher Dr. J. Vernon McGee helps us navigate this book with confidence in God’s grace and compassion for each other.  

Thru the Bible—1 Corinthians

What would you say if I told you that change is not about preparing for the future or about time as we know it? Join me in exploring a new perspective where change means becoming the person we have always been meant to be for God.

Change: Connecting With Our Essence

Are you tired of fake people? The Apostle Paul felt the same way. 
1 Corinthians is his response to a series of questions sent to him by the church in Corinth. Rather than immediately answering their inquiries, he first addresses some of the inauthentic (fake) things happening within their community. In chapter 13, he focuses on the topic of love—both in their worship services and in their individual relationships. Prayerfully, as we walk through this brief chapter together, we will develop a deeper understanding of God’s complete and perfect love, which enables us to authentically love one another!

The Corinthian church was the best example for us…not to follow! It was plagued by division, incest, immorality, lawsuits, worship disorder, misuse of spiritual gifts, abuse of the Eucharist, etc. This group of so-called Christians was probably nothing more than a cult to outsiders. Apostle Paul wrote this letter, with madness and heartache, to address the problems, and it has become important instruction for us to discipline the church community.

Paul wrote about this in his letter to a divided and self-centered people to remind them to follow Jesus and only Jesus.

In this week of devotionals, we will explore some of the big ideas from the book of 1 Corinthians, written by the apostle Paul, and consider what it means to be men set apart for the sake of Christ! Written by J.R. Hudberg.

A People Set Apart

During this 3-day devotional, Jada discusses the paradox of being on mission for God. The mission God has called us to requires a level of maturity that doesn’t rely on the applause of others. Maturity is not about the amount of knowledge you have or the actions you display. It’s
being able to respond immediately to the conviction of the Holy Spirit, especially when it goes against the craving of the flesh.

Maturity for the Mission

Jesus Christ’s resurrection is the pivotal event of history and the linchpin of our faith. As Alistair Begg explains, it is from this source that we who are in Christ draw our hope for eternal life, carrying us through the trials of this world. We look forward to a day when God will transform us in glory and death will be finally defeated.

The devotional concludes each day with a prayer, helping readers internalize and apply these truths. Ultimately, it reminds us that the greatest expression of love is found in Jesus, who calls us to love others as He has loved us.

Deeper Into Scripture is  a methodology of scripture reading that instructs, encourages and equips people to read God's Word daily and deeply.  We have created a unique four-fold method of bible reading that directs the individual to read a short passage of scripture four times.  Each reading is done with a different question, instruction or objective to be considered.  This repetitive reading takes us deeply into the Word of God, increases our understanding and draws us closer to Him.

Ferguson reflects deeply on the famous 'love passage' 1 Corinthians 13 and brings the rich theology of the incarnation to life with his trademark warmth and clarity. 

Love Came Down At Christmas

Experiencing God's call and understanding His purpose for us. Leading a  life of testimony,  telling  others of His saving grace. To surpass the present times, with a hope for the future. To live a life worthy as a chosen vessel of God. To promote unity in the Church,  keeping Christ alone as its head. Proclaiming and teaching the word of God.
