The book of 1 Corinthians is more than a list of sins–though many sins are mentioned–it’s an epistle of patience. The Christians in Corinth were falling all over themselves for sin, and yet Paul calls them “brothers and sisters” first. Paul is angry but driven by love and eager to talk about the God of second chances.
Paul’s letter confronts us today who need a spiritual check-up. Just as they were intended to do for the Corinthians, his words encourage us and show us how to lead a pure life. As you read, study, journal, and discuss the book of 1 Corinthians, watch for these key themes that Max will unpack throughout the book:
- The church, as the body of Christ, should be unified in the same way a physical body is united.
- God calls His people to sexual purity.
- We must honor God within our human relationships.
- Love is the greatest of all gifts.
