Start2Finish Bible Studies #36

Author: Michael Whitworth | 13 lessons, 108 pages

A divided church. A faithful God. A call to love above all.

The book of 1 Corinthians reveals a young congregation struggling to live out the gospel in a culture much like our own—divided, distracted, and driven by pride. Into their confusion, Paul writes with both correction and compassion, reminding believers that Christ alone is their foundation and that love is the measure of all maturity.

From questions about unity and worship to challenges about morality and spiritual gifts, 1 Corinthians speaks with timeless relevance. Paul confronts arrogance with humility, selfishness with service, and chaos with order, showing that the cross of Christ is not just the message we preach but the pattern we follow.

1 Corinthians from Start2Finish is a 13-lesson journey through one of Paul’s most practical and convicting letters. It will help Bible classes or small groups pursue unity in truth and holiness in love. In the process, vital truths such as humility, purity, grace, and the transforming power of the resurrection will be affirmed.
