One Cross, One Christ, One Body – 1 Corinthians 1:10–18

Sermon by William BurrowsWhat can divide a church that is otherwise healthy and growing? In 1 Corinthians 1:10–18, Paul confronts a congregation fractured by rivalries, personalities, and competing loyalties.Paul holds out the message of the cross as God's answer to a divided church. The Corinthians had begun to identify themselves with different leaders, but Paul calls them back to the one thing that truly unites God's people: Jesus Christ and him crucified. When the church fixes its eyes on the cross, divisions lose their power and believers are reminded that they belong to one Savior and one body, and preach one gospel.—Vineland Road is a resource ministry of the Christian Reformed Church of St. Joseph, Michigan.
