Fusion: week of 11/5

FAMILY THEME: UNITY IN CHRIST

1 Corinthians 1:10-31

Unity is an essential element of being a Christian.

1.  God Has Called His Followers to Unity

     (1 Corinthians 1:10-11)

     Believers are to live in unity because of our common

     commitment to and relationship with Jesus Christ.

 
2.  An Unhealthy Focus on Persons or Personalities 

     Often Leads to Divisions

     (1 Corinthians 1:12-16)

     No matter how influential someone has been in our

     lives, our primary allegiance should be to Jesus.

 
3.  Focusing on Our Mission Will Minimize Division 

     (1 Corinthians 1:17-25)

     Division distracts us from our mission of making

     disciples of all nations.

4.  An Honest Assessment of God's Work in Our Own

     Lives Should Cultivate Unity 

     (1 Corinthians 1:26-30)

     God did not choose us on the basis of our ability,

     wisdom, or strength, bur rather because of His

     grace and love.
