Summary

Chris Wall • I Corinthians 1:10-17

Paul begins addressing one of the major issues in the Corinthian church—division. His challenge to the believers “in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ” to agree with one another and be united in mind and purpose. Fights were raging with some believers claiming allegiance to Paul, others to Apollos, Cephas (Peter), or even Christ. These factions were toxic to the work of the church revealing pride and misplaced loyalty, undermining the unity of the body. The church was out of tune. An out of tune church is noticeable to a seeking world. Conflict resolution among God’s people remains one of the main storylines in the entire New Testament. We have learned that the greatest tactic of the enemy is twisting the truth of God’s word. The second greatest tactic of the enemy is to disrupt the unity of the church. Our calling is to be unified in mind and judgment.
