What's the #1 Thing Dividing Churches? | Christ Builds Through Unity, Not Division

Series: 1 Corinthians, The Cross and Its Community Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:10–15

How can churches have unity? What divides them? Is there a unifying principle or actions? How should spiritual leaders work together? Should they work together? Does having a unified church congregation come with a cost? The Corinthians were misguided about the Apostles and the role of those who preach the Word. Having dealt with this in the first 2 chapters, Paul turns to address this glaring misplaced emphasis on ‘the preachers.’ The Corinthian Christians were confused about the importance of the cross in the “coming kingdom” of God. They were also having difficulty grasping it because their spiritual knowledge was, at best, infantile.
