1 Corinthians

 

Author:

  • Paul

 

Audience:

  • To the church in Corinth

 

Key Themes:

  • Unity within the church
  • Christians should build the church body by:
  1. Being more sensitive to believers of weak faith
  2. Being culturally sensitive to people when sharing the Gospel
  3. Church services should be done in a way that new people feel welcome and may come to know the Lord
  4. Spiritual gifts when done corporately should be done to build up the church rather than to edify one self
  • Sex between a man and woman creates unity- so as the relationship between a believer and Christ creates unity, it is very sacred and should be kept within marriage.
  • Baptism and the Lord's Supper (Communion) are very important, but even more so the trust and obedience to the Gospel
  • The resurrection of Jesus and all who follow Jesus is a very important part of Christianity
