First Corinthians: The Church and the Christian Community Starter Pack

The conflicts of the early Christians in Corinth are in many ways similar to our struggles today as Christians. With divisions, immorality, persecution, and other trials of the faithful, the message of St. Paul to the Corinthians is a much-needed message for our own times. First Corinthians: The Church and the Christian Community explores the key elements that the apostle Paul introduced to a new and growing Church. St. Paul taught the Corinthians about the nature of grace and the Church as the Body of Christ. In addition, he introduced the Corinthian Christians to the most powerful gift of all, the Eucharist.

This pack is what every leader needs to begin First Corinthians: The Church and the Christian Community. It includes:

• 4 DVD Set (11, 30-minute videos presented by Tim Gray)
