1 Corinthians: Church Done Right

Unity, Gifts, Love, and Resurrection

A 6-week study through 1 Corinthians exploring what it looks like to build a healthy church characterized by unity, properly used spiritual gifts, genuine love, and hope grounded in the resurrection.

United in Christ
The problem of divisions and pride
1 Corinthians 1:1-31
Main Point
The Corinthian church was fractured along personality lines and human wisdom. True unity comes from centering on Christ, not on charismatic leaders.
Gifts for Building Up
Spiritual gifts and the body of Christ
1 Corinthians 12:1-31
Main Point
Every believer has been given spiritual gifts not for personal prominence but for building up the body. No gift is superior; all are necessary for the health of the church.
Love Is the Greatest
Love as the foundation of everything
1 Corinthians 13:1-13
Main Point
Without love, even the most impressive gifts and accomplishments are worthless. Love is patient, kind, humble, and enduring — this is the truest measure of spiritual maturity.
Order and Prophecy
Using gifts for the common good
1 Corinthians 14:1-40
Main Point
Spiritual gifts should be exercised in order and with concern for the entire congregation. A gift used selfishly or chaotically does not build up the church.
The Resurrection: The Foundation of Everything
Christ's resurrection and our future hope
1 Corinthians 15:1-58
Main Point
If Christ hasn't been raised, our faith is empty and futile. But because Christ rose, we have the guarantee of resurrection and the promise that death has been defeated.
Closing Exhortations
Living out the gospel practically
1 Corinthians 16:1-24
Main Point
Everything Paul has taught comes down to practical Christian living: generosity, watchfulness, love, and faithful service.
