Real People In A Real World Part 1: Who Are We? (1 Corinthians 1)

There are few things that communicate the gospel as clearly as unity among and between God's diverse people. Knowing and overcoming the barriers that  tend to block our unity is therefore vital for our mission in the earth. In 1 Corinthians 1, we discover three of these unity barriers: denominational elitism and superiority, independence, and divisions over baptism being held as more important than the gospel itself. Paul reminds us all that while there are many differences across the Body of Christ, our core identity is to be found together as brothers and sisters in Christ Himself. The way we talk about one another, about other churches, and other church traditions is an opportunity to paint a glorious picture of Christ to the world around us!
