Crossroads (Week 3) – Unity In The Church Pt. 1 (1 Corinthians 1:10-31)

Have you ever had a disagreement with someone? That’s kind of a silly question, isn’t it? Because, we’ve all had disagreements. We’ve all experienced conflict. Whether a family issue, a problem at work or at school, clashes in personalities and differences in opinion happen. And, when they do feelings can be hurt and relationships can suffer tremendous, sometimes permanent damage. But, what happens when there is a conflict in the church?

We’re now in our third week in our series, “CrossRoads,” and this week we’re going to be getting into the heart of chapter 1 where we discover that there is conflict in the church. As we will see, there were a lot of problems in the church in Corinth and the Apostle Paul knows the damage that conflict can bring to the church, and to the name of Jesus. So, he’s going to deal with conflict in the church and need for unity.

The church today can experience conflict as well. So, hearing what Paul has to say to the Corinthians will have a great deal of application for us.
