  1. How do you feel when someone postpones or cancels a social engagement that you were looking forward to?

  2. To what accusation from the Corinthians was Paul most likely responding? Why did Paul say that the Corinthians could boast of him just as he would boast of them? (1:12-14)

  3. Why had Paul planned to visit the Corinthian church? (1:15) What did Paul mean by the “experience of grace”?

  4. How did Paul’s opponents at Corinth use his change of plans against him? (1:17) When is it wrong to accuse another believer? How can we demonstrate love for other Christians?

  5. What is the main feature of God’s promises? (1:18-22)

  6. Why did Paul emphasize the work of the Holy Spirit to strengthen his self-defence? (1:22) Discuss the importance of words like “anointed”, “seal” and “guarantee” for the believer.
