Call to Unity (1:10-17)
We are called into fellowship, v9
Ps. 133 Unity is an awesome thing
1 Cor. 1:11-12 Unity is hard to find
Paul- founder
Apollos- gifted speaker
Cephas- Direct connection to Jesus
Christ-
What unity is NOT
1. Isolation from other views (cults)
2. Ignoring differences (inter-religious ecumenism)
3. Insistence on 100% agreement
What true unity IS
1. Following Christ together
2. Attitude of love "disagreements don't break unity, division does"
3. A great weapon in evangelism (John 17:20-23)
So what do you think about the level of unity in...
1. Our congregation
2. Our denomination
3. Our local churches
4. Our religion
-is Paul for protestants?
-is Apollos for scholars?
-is Cephas for catholics?
-is Christ for non-denoms?
