Description
Although First Corinthians contains familiar theology and passages we easily recognize—like the words of institution for the Lord’s Supper and the meditation on love—readers often don’t realize that Paul wrote this letter to a church in conflict. The 2026–2027 PW/Horizons Bible study author, Rev. Dr. Rhonda Mawhood Lee, will lead participants in learning about the setting for Paul’s letter, divisions and a lack of love that betrayed the gospel and, ultimately, the gifts sent to us through Christ. You don’t have to be a PW to benefit—everyone will be fascinated by this journey to Corinth and Paul’s resonance for the church today. Bring home tools and creative ideas for sharing this powerful, timely message!
