1 Corinthians and 2 Corinthians both provide practical guidance for Christian living and church life, dealing with real-world problems with timeless principles.

1 CORINTHIANS: CORRECTING THE CORINTHIAN CHURCH
Main Issues:
Factions (Paul vs. Apollos vs. Peter), sexual immorality (incest), lawsuits among believers, abuse of the Lord's Supper, chaotic worship, false teachings.

Key Themes:
Unity in Christ: Rejecting divisions and worldly wisdom (Ch 1-4).
Christian Conduct: Sexual purity, lawsuits, food offered to idols (Ch 5-10).
Worship & Gifts: Orderly worship, spiritual gifts (tongues, prophecy), the Body of Christ (Ch 12-14).
The Supremacy of Love: The famous "Love is patient, love is kind" passage (Ch 13).
The Resurrection: Affirming the core Christian hope (Ch 15).

2 CORINTHIANS: PAUL'S DEFENSE AND EXHORTATION
Main Issues:
Restoring relationship after a painful encounter, defending his apostolic authority, dealing with super-apostles (false teachers).

Key Themes:
The Ministry of Reconciliation: God comforts us to comfort others (Ch 1-7).
Suffering & Weakness: Paul boasts in his weaknesses because Christ's power is made perfect in them (Ch 10-13).
Generosity: A call for generous giving (Ch 8-9).
True vs. False Apostleship: Contrasting Paul's humble, suffering ministry with others' worldly claims.

These letters show the Apostle Paul's deep care for messy, struggling churches, applying the truth of Jesus to their everyday lives, emphasizing love, unity, forgiveness, and finding strength in God's power through weakness, not worldly success.

GROW SELF-FEEDERS.
Rather than presenting preset conclusions, the inductive study method of OTD walks the user through a process of discovery, unlocking the Word by training them through repetition and modeling, how to ask good questions. Users are set free from dependence on media and other inputs that externally define for them what life is about and who God is. The Word becomes a real conversation with God.

IT'S A TOOL.
OTD is a daily devotional tool available in monthly booklet format designed to build the skill and discipline of effective daily Bible study, and is authored by Dwight Peterson. Each month includes both prayer list and commitment pages designed to add context to personal Bible study and to facilitate small group accountability.

RELEVANT AND FLEXIBLE.
OnTrack focuses on skill development, engaging 4 Levels of user skill in one tool. It’s relevant because it helps the user connect the Word to their own daily life and circumstances in a powerful way. It’s flexible because the content and commentary are voiced effectively for student and adult ministries alike. Can you say inter-generational?
