1 Corinthians 1:10-17; John 17:20-23

may be perfectly united in mind and thought. . . “ (10c)
on what creates unity
things that cause disunity
The Bible teaches that anything that causes disunity –
be it an action or attitude 0 is a sin. Look at Ephesians
4:3 and Romans 14:19
Should we all be in agreement or think a
like on the color of the carpet in the
sanctuary? What songs are sung in a
worship service? Whether to home
school or send our children to public
school? Who to vote for? The ideal is to
agree agreeably. But what happens when
we quarrel over such things.

“Is Christ divided?” vs 13
“. . . preach the gospel – not with words of human wisdom lest the
cross of Christ be empties of it’s power. For the message of the
cross – to us who are being saved it is the power of God.”
