January 2021: Paul's Love Letters To The Corinthians I & II

Introduction:

This month in our Refreshing Daily devotional we are focusing on the church at Corinth. While there are some good things said about the church, the letters as a whole are letters, not of commendation but, of condemnation.

I trust these devotions will inspire, encourage, convict, but most of all that they will refresh you daily as you serve the Lord Jesus Christ.
