Book Study with Pastor Sam 1 Corinthians: Searching the Depths of God by Jaime Clark-Soles
Begins on Monday, June 9 at 10-11AM in person or via zoom from 7-8PM.
This book will be linked to a new Sermon Series which will begin on Sunday, June 15!
1 Corinthians is one of the most gripping books in the Bible. In this letter, Paul, the complicated, layered apostle, writes to the people trying a wild new social experiment known as a Christian community. Not unlike the church today, this community dealt with factions, sexual immorality, gender issues, money issues, theological questions, lawsuits, problems in worship, and problems in leadership. In 1 Corinthians: Searching the Depths of God, Jaime Clark-Soles explores these topics and the awe inspiring, breathtaking world of the first-century church. Examining the teachings of Paul, she addresses church history, the logic of the cross, spiritual gifts, death, afterlife and the resurrection, human sexuality, and the joys and challenges of living in community. Participants will learn to look at 1 Corinthians from a variety of viewpoints and apply its lessons to their own faith.
A few copies of the book are available through the church office at a reduced rate of $12.80. Contact Becky at office@eumclaurel.org if you would like to purchase a copy!
