The study of 1 Corinthians

Prepare yourself for this upcoming study by:

checking the calendar below (for details, scriptural backup, and links to audio recitals of chapters)
reading the selected Holy Scripture,

listening to chosen chapter recitations.

July 20	1 Corinthians 13 — Agape Love * verses 1–2 Love is superior to spiritual gifts in and of themselves. * verse 3 The most dramatic renunciations of self are, in the same way, profitless without love.
July 27, (guest teacher, Pastor Jefferson)	1 Corinthians, chapter 12 (click to listen) Healing Is Plural (part 1) — What does Paul mean when, in 1 Corinthians 12, he says, "to another, gifts of healing"? We'll explore the wider context of the various kinds of healing presented in the Scriptures, seeing God healing the world through Christ Jesus.
August 3, (guest teacher, Pastor Jefferson)	Healing Is Plural (part 2) — Aside from tongues, the gift of healing probably generates the most controversy today. Join us in a follow-up study of what Apostle Paul says in 1 Corinthians 12, verse 9, when he says, "to another, gifts of healing by that one Spirit."
August 10	1 Corinthians, chapter 13 (click to listen) * verse 4–7 The Description of Love — Two things love is: longsuffering and kind. Eight things love is not: not envious, not proud, not arrogant, not rude, not cliquish, not touchy, not suspicious, not happy with evil. (See a visual illustration of Chapter 13:1–13 .)
August 17	* verse 8–13 Love's Permanence — The permanence of love: love will outlive all the gifts, which are temporary. Verse 13 ends Paul's love description by giving a beautiful summary of love’s permanence: love abides forever.
