1 Corinthians 1: Calm Answers for Church Problems (Chapters 1-10)

Corinth was rich, busy, intellectual, and sensual. If any place needed a church, it was Corinth, and what happened there can happen anywhere.

1 Corinthians 1: Calm Answers for Church Problems is a 12-lesson Courageous Living workbook by Wilson Adams covering 1 Corinthians 1–10.

How This Study Helps

Division, immorality, lawsuits, confusion about marriage, and quarrels over liberty all plagued the church at Corinth, and every one of them still troubles churches today.

This study works through Paul's calm, inspired answers: unity in Christ, God's wisdom, the church as plant, building, and temple, discipline for the scandal in chapter 5, lawsuits among brothers, the body as God's temple, marriage and singleness, love and liberty, and the principle of sacrifice.
