First Corinthians: Matters of First Importance (Wk 2)|1 Cor. 1:10–17| Emanuel Istrate | August 30

This sermon on Christian unity and division in the church explores Paul’s appeal in 1 Corinthians 1:10–17 for believers to be united in Christ. In the series First Corinthians: Matters of First Importance, we consider why the Corinthian church’s divisions mattered—and how the gospel calls God’s people away from personality-centered loyalties and toward faithful unity in Jesus.

Paul urges the church to agree in what is essential, to resist quarrels and factions, and to remember that Christ alone—not a pastor, leader, preference, or group—is at the center of the church. This message is for Christians seeking to understand biblical unity, churches navigating disagreement, and anyone wanting to see how the cross shapes our relationships with one another.
