UNITY @ CORINTH ?
Duration:45 mins 57 secs
UNITY @ CORINTH ?
I CORINTHIANS 1:10-17
WHY ARE THERE SO MANY CHURCHES AND DENOMINATIONS?
WHY ARE THERE SO MANY CLIQUES IN THE CHURCH?
WHY DO WE HAVE HEROS?
HOW DOES THE GOSPEL RESCUE US FROM ALL OF THIS?
THE PERSON, VV.10-13
THE ATTRACTION, JOHN 17:20-24
THE APPEAL, I COR.1:10
“…EXHORT YOU …”
“BRETHREN”
“BY THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST”
“THAT YOU ALL AGREE …”
“BUT YOU BE MADE COMPLETE …”
(MENDING FISH NETS, RESTORING BROKEN BONES)
“THAT THERE BE NO DIVISIONS.” (SCHISMATA)
THE APPLICATION,
DISAGREEMENT CAN BE HEALTHY …
CONFLICT IS UNAVOIDABLE …
UNITY IS NOT ABSOLUTE TOLERANCE OF ALL THINGS …
UNITY IS NOT UNIFORMITY …
HERE’S HOW THAT SHOULD LOOK FOR RCC:
THEOLOGICAL UNITY …
RELATIONAL UNITY …
PHILOSOPHICAL UNITY …
MISSIONAL UNITY …
THE PROBLEM, Vv.11-12
CHLOE’S PEOPLE …
CORINTH’S PREACHERS …
THE PASSION, Vv.13-17
RHETORICAL QUESTIONS …
RELATABLE ILLUSTRATION …
RADICAL PREACHING …
