Strengthening the Church and Its Leaders: Paul's Blueprint in 1 Corinthians

By Benjamin Crisp

In a world where church leadership is often measured by charisma, metrics, and cultural appeal, Strengthening the Church and Its Leaders calls readers back to a timeless, Spirit-led foundation: the apostolic counsel of Paul to the Corinthian church. Drawing from 1 Corinthians, Benjamin Crisp uncovers a theological and practical blueprint for building healthy, resilient, Spirit-empowered, gospel-centered churches. With pastoral warmth and clarity, he brings the struggles of Corinth into conversation with the pressures facing today's church--division, immorality, spiritual immaturity, leadership tension, and the urgent need for deeper discipleship.

From restoring unity to reclaiming the power of the Spirit, from guarding the integrity of the gospel to cultivating Christlike leadership, this book equips pastors, church planters, ministry leaders, and believers to build faithfully on the only true foundation--Jesus Christ.

Strengthening the Church and Its Leaders invites readers to see the church as Paul saw it: a people shaped by the gospel, empowered by the Spirit, and called to reveal Christ to the world. The church doesn't need another celebrity; it needs servants who tremble at God's word.
