About this episode
Dr. James Boice explores the complexities of human nature and the challenges faced by the Corinthian church in his examination of 1 Corinthians 1:1-17.
1 Corinthians 1:1-17 Have you ever marveled at the conundrum that you can be two different people: kind but cruel, confident but fearful, easy going but angry? You’re not alone. The Corinthian Christians had a model church but one riddled with disgraceful habits and practices. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he examines Paul’s challenges in dealing with a church that was “the best of churches and the worst of churches.”
