Paul taught that it was wrong for the Corinthian church to compare Paul, Apollos, and Peter. To debate and decide which man should be followed meant they were not focused on and following God. What then is the correct way to view Christian leaders and ourselves? John Stott said, “The authority by which the Christian leader leads is not power but love . . . Leaders have power, but power is safe only in the hands of those who humble themselves to serve.” Paul wanted the Corinthian church to understand that a leader was a person who served under God’s authority.
“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might” (Ephesians 6:10).

About this Plan
Let’s explore how we can influence the culture with the truth of God’s word through 1 and 2 Corinthians! These two letters are a powerful message from the Apostle Paul to a church that was passionate about its mission but needed direction to remain true to its Christian faith and doctrines. Those priorities make his letters important teaching for every Christian.
