Featuring weekly video teachings with Jennie Allen from RightNow Media. Welcome to the companion study guide for RightNow Media's The Book of 1st Corinthians, featuring video teachings from Jennie Allen. This twelve-part Bible study, filmed on location in Greece, walks through Paul's letter to the Corinthian church. Our hope is that the video teachings from Jennie Allen combined with the content of this study guide will deepen your understanding of what God has to say through the book of 1st Corinthians. Jennie is passionate about God's Word and discipleship. We believe you will find her to be a helpful guide on your journey through this book. Some sections of 1 Corinthians might be familiar, like the "wedding verses" in 1 Corinthians 13, but there's so much more to the letter. This Bible study series will take you on a journey to discover what it means to live a risky, others-centered life. For each session, you'll find goals for the week things we want to walk away knowing, feeling, and doing differently as a result of the teaching. In addition, you'll encounter questions designed to help you consider and apply the video teaching to your own life. At the end, you'll have to answer a very important Will you live the risky, others-centered life as well? We pray God speaks to you through this study. This study guide works in tandem with The Book of 1st Corinthians video series, which is made available to you for free when you purchase this study guide.
The videos that went with this in Right Now Media were really good. We used this book and that resource in a local bible study. The book is very expensive for what it is, there should have been a lot more questions and interaction for a book that expensive and thick. While it was beautiful it felt like I was paying for photos vs content. It felt sort of light on questions and while there was a lot of space to answer some were not really questions that needed a lot of writing to answer. Most of the discussion was really good, there were a few times the questions felt surface and unneeded. However, overall the study was really good and we all learned a lot and grew a lot going through it. I wish more of the Right Now Media studies were between 10-15 dollars for the books because it makes it hard to do in groups when the books are 25 each.
I typically love Jennie Allen, and this is a beautiful book. I got it for free after attending IF Gathering, and I am glad I didn’t pay for it. Some of the things in the book were really good and helpful, but overall it felt like the effort went toward creating a beautiful book and it didn’t go nearly as in-depth as I would’ve liked. I was wanting a deep dive into 1 Corinthians because our church is preaching through it right now, and this wasn’t it.
