Presentation transcript:

Controversy at Corinth 1 Corinthians 1-4 Heresy or Homogeneity? Unity is discussed in I Corinthians 1-4 and we look at why unity is necessary as well as how we can overcome and avoid division.

The Plea for Absolute Unity (1 Corinthians 1:10) The plea is issued with the authority of Jesus Christ. In his NAME! The expectation was for UNITY in… Speech Mind Judgment

Why is unity necessary? (1 Corinthians 1:10-13) Because Christ is One! (1:13; Eph. 4:4-6) Since we are named after Christ, we must be One as well. Christ was Crucified for us, (1:13; 15:3; Romans 5:8; Galatians 1:4; 1 Peter 2:24) We were baptized into His name (1:13; 9; Matthew 28:18-19; Acts 2:38) Our spiritual welfare demands it! (1:11-12; 3:1-4; Galatians 5:20)

We must not Divide to Align Ourselves with Men! Denominationalism is wrong because it does just that. (John 17:20-21) Our foundation is Christ, not men! Preacheritis is a debilitating & destructive sickness! (1 Corinthians 3:5-9) We MUST NOT go beyond what is written NO MATTER WHO is telling us to do so! (1 Corinthians 4:6)

How do we overcome and avoid division? (1 Corinthians 1:10) Speak the Same Thing: The Gospel of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:1-5; 1:22-24; 2 Timothy 4:3-4) Have the Same Mind: The Mind of Christ (Philippians 2:1-5) Have the Same Judgment: Use the Will of Christ to Determine Right and Wrong (1 Corinthians 2:14-16; Philippians 1:9-11) Be Mature in Christ (1 Corinthians 3:1-3; 14:20; Ephesians 4:11-16)
