Description

In this 7-session guide to the first half of 1 Corinthians, see how the gospel of Christ spoke into the life of a challenging church full of problems—and consider how it still shapes your church today.

Each session will draw you to look closely at the Bible text and apply it meaningfully to your everyday life. It includes questions that open up discussion, optional personal reflections and a concise Leader’s Guide.

Flexible and easy to use, Good Book Guides are perfect for both groups and individuals.

Features: 

  • Written by a trusted Bible teacher 
  • Covers the first 9 chapters of 1 Corinthians
  • Thoughtful questions that get to the heart of the text and apply it meaningfully to your life 
  • Discussion prompts 
  • Leader’s Guide with insights on every question
  • Optional extra sections if you have more time, including prayer prompts and icebreaker ideas

“The Good Book Guides are a fantastic resource for small groups and personal study. I've used many of them myself. For a busy small-group leader, or a Christian looking for refreshment in his or her devotional life, these come so highly recommended.” - Sam Allberry, Pastor and Author

“Each guide in this series provides a framework for your group to dig into the text of Scripture for itself while providing enough of a steer to keep you on track plus useful pointers towards application. The result is a great combination of fidelity to Scripture and ease of use.” - Tim Chester, Crosslands Training; Author

I love this small group study guide series from The Good Book Company. Christians are regularly told they should spend more time studying God’s Word, but sometimes there’s not a clear plan for how to do this. These study guides provide practical, step-by-step guidance on working through books of the Bible, along with wonderful questions that encourage reflection and application. I hope churches and Christian ministries will take advantage of this wonderful resource.

Tim Chester

The aim of the The Good Book Company is to be biblical, relevant and accessible, and nothing embodies that ethos more than their Good Book Guides. Each guide provides a framework for your group to dig into the text of Scripture for itself while providing enough of a steer to keep you on track plus useful pointers towards application. The result is a great combination of fidelity to Scripture and ease of use.

Gary Millar

The Good Book Guides are an immensely precious resource for the church. A careful blend of helpful context and clearly-worded, searching questions which aim to help readers to uncover the meaning of the text and  apply it in responsible ways. I think these small group studies are the best available and pray that they will continue to prove helpful to local churches across the world!
