1 Corinthians for You: Thrilling You with How Grace Changes Lives (God’s Word for You | GWFY)
Overview
The scope of 1 Corinthians is breathtaking. Paul tackles a huge variety of subjects, and as he does so, he gives us a precious insight into what a local church is (or at least can be).
As Andrew Wilson walks through this compelling, challenging epistle, you’ll see how grace looks in every Christian and how it can shape every church—even a church as flawed as the Corinthian one.
This accessible and absorbing expository guide can be used for personal devotions, or for leading small-group studies, or for sermon preparation.
