Growing Into Christ: Volume One
What does it really mean to grow into spiritual maturity and become more like Jesus Christ?
The book of 1 Corinthians speaks directly to many of the challenges believers still face today-division, pride, comparison, spiritual immaturity, relationships, conflict, sexual purity, competing priorities, questions of identity, and the struggle to faithfully follow Christ in everyday life.
Growing Into Christ: A Journey of Spiritual Formation Through 1 Corinthians 1-7 is a Scripture-centered personal and group Bible study designed to move believers beyond biblical information toward genuine spiritual transformation.
Through clear, practical exposition of 1 Corinthians 1-7, Dr. Mike Prah helps readers discover not only what the biblical text teaches, but also what God desires to form in our lives through His truth.
Throughout Volume One, you will explore how to:
• Build your identity and confidence upon Jesus Christ.
• Grow beyond spiritual immaturity into Christlike character.
• Replace pride, comparison, and division with humility, gratitude, love, and unity.
• Depend upon God's wisdom, grace, and the power of the Holy Spirit.
• Build your life on Jesus Christ and invest in what has eternal value.
• Faithfully steward the opportunities and responsibilities God has entrusted to you.
• Pursue holiness and live from your new identity in Christ.
• Handle conflict with wisdom, grace, forgiveness, and a desire for reconciliation.
• Honor Christ through your relationships, choices, freedom, and personal purity.
• Live faithfully in your present season while embracing God's purposes.
• Develop an eternal perspective and cultivate wholehearted devotion to Jesus Christ.
Each study includes clear biblical teaching, spiritual formation questions, Formation Principles, Dig Deeper Scripture Insights, Wisdom Keys, practical applications, Journeys of Spiritual Maturity, Closing Wisdom Takeaways, and memorable Spiritual Formation Passage Movements.
Volume One also includes Discipleship Resource Guides that explore foundational truths for Christian growth and provide practical Commitments and Declarations that can be used personally or within mentoring and discipleship relationships.
Whether you are studying individually, leading a small group, teaching a Sunday School class, mentoring another believer, or seeking to deepen your own walk with Christ, Growing Into Christ provides a biblical and practical pathway toward lasting spiritual growth.
The goal is not simply to know more Scripture. It is to allow God's Word and the Holy Spirit to increasingly shape the way we think, live, love, serve, and follow Jesus Christ.
Know God's Word. Grow in spiritual maturity. Become more like Jesus Christ.
