Teaching 1 Corinthians Without Division

1 Corinthians is a letter written to a church in chaos. They were fighting over leaders, over spiritual gifts, and over lifestyle choices. It can be a difficult book to teach because it confronts so many "hot button" issues.

However, the key to teaching 1 Corinthians without causing further division is found in the very first chapter: The Centrality of Christ.

Paul’s solution to every problem in Corinth was to point them back to the Cross. When we ground our truths in Christ, frame them in love, and deliver them with humility, the church grows—it doesn't splinter.
