When people become Christians, they don't necessarily immediately become nice, well-behaved, and moral. The Corinthian Christians gave Paul more trouble than all his other churches put together. Next in line for the popular "Creative Bible Lessons" series comes Creative Bible Lessons in 1 & 2 Corinthians. These twelve studies about the "not-so-easily-tamed" people of Corinth and their founding pastor Paul pave the way for youth workers and Sunday school teachers to teach Junior high and high school students about conversion, transformation, failure, leadership, authority, and God's constant, saving love even in the midst of people making a mess of things.

Christian adolescents in the 21st century face pretty much the same situations as the first-century Christians in Corinth did -- an indulgent, profligate, choose-your-own-god society. The latest in the Creative Bible Lessons series, Creative Bible Lessons in 1 & 2 Corinthians is a 12-lesson curriculum with an issues-oriented spin on living one's faith in the real world. It lets teenagers wrestle with the tension between biblical instruction and cultural realities. These 12 studies about the not-so-easily-tamed people of Corinth and their founding pastor Paul of Tarsus pave the way for youth workers and Sunday school teachers to teach high schoolers about conversion, transformation, failure, leadership, authority, and God's constant saving love even in the midst of people making a mess of things. Here are some of the not-so-ancient issues you'll explore in this study: Give Me Liberty or Give Me Love, Friends Don't Let Friends Go Unforgiven, Those Pesky STDs (Sexually Tough Decisions), Love Is . . ., No Easy Answers, Show Me the Money, and Ouch! Of course, there's lots of what the Creative bible Lessons series is known for: provocative and relevant discussion starters, to-the-point scripts, high-energy games, reproducible pages of interactive activities -- all in the context of hard-core Bible study. 12 lessons.
