Pilgrimage with Paul: 1 Corinthians - Called to Be the Church
With: Pastor John LeCain
When: September 2 to October 21 (No class on October 14)
Time: 10:00am - 11:30am
Location: Hope Central Campus; Livestream
Registration suggested - email pastorjohn@hope4allchurch. Bring Bible. Workbook provided.
Our pilgrimage through Paul's letters continues as we travel from Galatia to the bustling and complicated city of Corinth. In this seven-session study of 1 Corinthians, we will explore a young church wrestling with division, Christian freedom, relationships, worship, spiritual gifts, love, and resurrection hope. Along the way we will discover how remarkably contemporary Paul's words remain as we ask: what does it mean to be the Church of Jesus Christ in a culture pulling in us in many different directions?
