A full-blooded Lakota/Sioux whose bitterness towards the white man was washed away by the blood of Christ, Richard Twiss shows that Native American Christians have much to offer the Church and can become a major force for reaching the lost.

Paul's epistle is of abiding relevance, challenge and comfort. When you read the epistle, you feel that the Lord of glory is speaking to our hearts. This portion of the Word of God is worthy of investigation for its own sake because it tells of Jesus.
Thiselton's astute interpretive insights distilled for students and pastors.
First Corinthians is Paul's masterly pastoral letter to a church which he founded five years earlier but which in the meantime has lost its way. In Ephesus Paul was visited by various groups from Corinth bringing disturbing reports of recent developments, but also a list of questions. A little sleuthing helps us recover an idea of the problems in Corinth as well as the questions to which they wanted answers. Use this informative book to help diagnose 1st Corinthians.
Most Bible commentaries take us on a one-way trip from the twentieth century to the first century. But they leave us there, assuming that we can somehow make the return journey on our own. In other words, they focus on the original meaning of the passage but don't discuss its contemporary application. The information they offer is valuable -- but the job is only half done! The NIV Application Commentary Series helps us with both halves of the interpretive task. This new and unique series shows readers how to bring an ancient message into modern context. It explains not only what the Bible means but also how it can speak powerfully today.
Paul spent 18 months discipling the young church in Corinth, and when he moved on, the group kept growing. But fast growth brings its own problems. Concerned about divided loyalties, immorality, and pagan lifestyles, Paul's letter highlights principles for balanced church life and growth. As you study this timely book, the Holy Spirit can activate these principles in your church community.

Life among Christians can be great. But it can also be exasperating! The joys of fellowship in Christ too often give way to division and debate. You may find yourself drawn into arguments over such things as the correct form of worship or the proper role of charismatic gifts. Perhaps you wonder, Why don't we get along together as we should? Or How can we recapture the unity of the early church? Surprisingly, the first Christian believers didn't always live in harmony either! As Paul Stevens and Dan Williams lead you through this study of 1 Corinthians, you will see that the issues facing the Corinthian church are little different from the ones your church struggles with year after year. Here in 1 Corinthians is a portrait of Christian community not as it was meant to be, but as it often really is. But here too is practical advice for overcoming the challenges of life together.
To a proud and prosperous church, the Apostle Paul writes a stern reminder take your eyes off impressive externals, and practice purity, humility, and love. His practical instructions concerning factions, sexuality, spiritual gifts, and worship remain profoundly relevant for believers pursuing genuine spiritual maturity.
