Letters To A Troubled Church: Paul's Important Epistle For Shaping The Christian Church‪.‬

"Discipleship is one of the main elements of Jesus' ministry. While the Lord spent a lot of time teaching, preaching, healing the sick, and casting out demons, Jesus made sure to set aside time to disciple the twelve men whom He had chosen to closely work with Him in His ministry.

This is one of Paul's most spirited letters -- harsh in some spots. It is probably Paul's most important letter for understanding what a healthy church should look like. More than anywhere else in Paul's letters, you'll find instruction on church unity, balanced worship, church discipline, the resurrection, and Christ's coming, and marriage.

The Letter contains numerous notable verses. Here's just a sampling:

""We have the mind of Christ."" (2:16)

""I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some."" (9:22)

""No temptation has seized you except what is common to man...."" (10:13)

""Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ."" (11:1)

""The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread...."" (11:23-26)

""Now to each one, the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good."" (12:7)

""Love is patient, love is kind...."" (13:4-8)"
