Praying Through 1 & 2 Corinthians – hinnat ja saatavuus

Paul visited the city of Corinth in Greece two times (Acts 18) and established a church there. It was no easy process. Corinth was inundated with Greek thought and worldly practices. The worship of gods and sensuality permeated every aspect of society. And here, nestled in the middle of all this was the church in Corinth. Paul had a difficult time keeping the world out of the church so his letters hammered home the truth, outlining how a Christian must live and what a church must do.1 & 2 Corinthians are still handbooks for the church today, struggling against worldly influence. Contained in these books are some of the most quoted and examined passages in Christianity. Topics such as marriage (1 Cor.7), communion (1 Cor.11), spiritual gifts (1 Cor.12), love (1 Cor.13), the resurrection (1 Cor.15), the new body (2 Cor.5), giving (2 Cor.9) and Paul's thorn in the flesh (2 Cor.12). Paul's teachings have created a foundation of belief that has withstood nearly 2,000 years. The books of Corinthians focus on your relationship with God and your relationship with other believers in the church. Praying through them and knowing these books are crucial to help you live victoriously in an ungodly world. PRAYING THROUGH THE BIBLE SERIES recognizes the power of God speaking to mankind through His Scriptures. God's word was not only meant to be read, but applied.
