A church can be called “the church of God” and still have serious issues. That’s the tension that grabs us in 1 Corinthians 1, and it’s where we start: Paul anchors the Corinthians in grace, peace, and their identity in Christ before he ever swings the hammer of correction. We walk the chapter with a simple Bible study method (outline, observe, interpret, apply) so you can follow the flow of the text and actually carry it into your week.

From there, the conversation turns to the kind of division that quietly wrecks churches: factions built on personalities, preferences, and popularity. “I follow Paul… I follow Apollos…” is not just ancient history; it’s a mirror. We talk about what healthy differences can look like across denominations, where unity in the body of Christ should hold, and why pride-driven camps are so spiritually corrosive.

We also dig into Paul’s line about baptism and the gospel: “Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel.” That leads us into a clear look at baptism and salvation, the local church’s role, and why Paul keeps dragging everything back to Christ crucified. The cross may look like weakness, but it is the power of God, the wisdom of God, and the end of human boasting. If you want Bible teaching on Christian unity, 1 Corinthians chapter 1, the message of the cross, and God’s faithfulness to sustain believers to the end, this one is for you.
