1 Corinthians 1:10-17

Today, we will see Paul begin to address the Corinthian church regarding divisions that were creeping up in the church. The New Testament had not been written at this point, so the early believers were very dependent on the teaching and guidance from the apostles and early church fathers and teachers. As a result of this, factions and cliques had begun to form around specific leaders and teachers. So Paul reminds them is not about the leader or teacher, but about the singular message they were all bringing. And unity was paramount.
