Koinonia Bible Studies has written lessons for adult Bible classes and individual studies for years. This past Spring, they began putting lessons together into a full online course. There are two courses that are in development and are scheduled to release at times during 2027. The courses will be available free of charge to Koinonia Bible Study members or for an individual fee.
The first course to be released will be Now and Then. The book looks at Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians. Although most commentators comment on the many problems displayed in the Corinthian church, our perspective is that there are many similarities between “Now and Then.” Corinth was a very secular culture. Although there was a Jewish presence, it was small and relatively ineffective. Believers had to confront a culture that was opposed to Christianity – and also didn’t understand it. Sound like today?
Perhaps rather than being a church with problems, it was a church wrestling with how to be faithful in a very heathen culture. Again, sounds a lot like the church today, doesn’t it?
