The first century church was in an infancy stage. They were maturing into the people God would have them to be. Not unlike the church today, the first century church had plenty of internal and external problems. Many of the books of the New Testament were written to address these problems.
What is interesting is the fact that the apostles pointed back to the cross of Jesus as the solution to the church's problems. In this twelve-lesson study, we will discover how there were not only "cross-centered soultions" for the problems they faced then, there are cross-centered solutions for the problems we face today.
This Bible study course would be beneficial for adult or teen classes, small groups, or even personal Bible studies. This is a course for anyone who would like to discover why the message of "Jesus Christ and him crucified" (1 Corinthians 2:2) is the only message the church needs in any century.
