Divisions in the Church
Factions and Quarreling 1 Corinthians 10:10-13
Where Divisions Come From
“The Flesh” = Pride & Jealousy 1 Corinthians 3:1-4
Two Reactions to the Gospel
That’s Dumb!
The Greeks respected the philosophies of their day.
1 Corinthians 1:18-21 & Acts 17:22-32
The crucifixion reveals God’s wisdom by uniting justice and grace and bringing righteousness.
That’s Weak!
The Jewish people respected victory.
1 Corinthians 1:22 & Matthew 12:38-42
The crucifixion reveals God’s power by defeating death through death.
Summation:
Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God
1 Corinthians 1:22-25
Therefore, walk the way of Christ and put Pride & quarreling to death.
1 Corinthians 1:30-31
