 Series: 1 Corinthians — A Letter for Our Time

Welcome to The Bible Project Daily Podcast. I’m Jeremy McCandless, and today we launch a brand new season as we begin our study through the Apostle Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians—chapter by chapter, verse by verse.

Corinth was a messy church in a broken world. Sound familiar? That’s why this letter matters so much—because it speaks directly into the kind of cultural confusion and spiritual compromise we face today.

Over the next approx 40 episodes, we’ll explore what it means to live a cross-shaped life, how to pursue unity in a divided age, and why the resurrection changes everything.

Let’s begin this journey—together—to Corinth.

📌 Episode Notes

Title: Introduction and Overview
Text: 1 Corinthians 1:1–3
Theme: The Gospel Brings Order to a Disordered Church

Episode Summary:
In this opening episode, we set the stage for our new study in 1 Corinthians. Corinth was a city of wealth, culture, and corruption—and the church Paul planted there mirrored many of its problems. But Paul doesn’t give up on them. Instead, he writes a bold and pastoral letter calling them (and us) back to Christ.

We explore:

  • Why Paul wrote this letter and when
  • The moral and spiritual challenges facing the Corinthian church
  • The message, structure, and purpose of the letter
  • Why this epistle is especially vital for the modern church

Key Message:
The grace that saves us must also shape us.

Key Verse:

“To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be his holy people…” — 1 Corinthians 1:2


Outline of the Letter (Preview):

  1. Divisions and Unity (Ch. 1–4)
  2. Church Discipline and Moral Issues (Ch. 5–6)
  3. Marriage and Singleness (Ch. 7)
  4. Christian Freedom and Conscience (Ch. 8–10)
  5. Worship and the Lord’s Supper (Ch. 11)
  6. Spiritual Gifts and Church Order (Ch. 12–14)
  7. The Resurrection (Ch. 15)
  8. Final Instructions (Ch. 16)

Application:
As we journey through 1 Corinthians, we’ll see that gospel transformation doesn’t just change what we believe—it reshapes how we live together as God’s people.
