ENGAGE

Read 1 Corinthians 1:10-12

  • What is Paul appealing to the church at Corinth to be or do?

  • What is the source of the quarrels and why would this be a point of contention in the church?

Read 1 Corinthians 3:3-4

  • How does Paul describe being "worldly”?

  • If Paul infers that human nature draws us towards disunity, what then can Christians do to pursue unity?

In this sermon, Robert outlined three ways of causing division : 

  1. Quarrels (v. 11)

  2. Cliques (v. 12)

  3. Conceit (v. 13-16)

In what ways do we see these in our day?

Robert also outlined three ways of promoting unity:

  1. Harmony of Attitude

  2. Agreement on Essentials

  3. Single-Mindedness of Purpose

In what ways are these important for unity?
