The whole Christianity thing had just been invented.

With a bunch of new people come a bunch of new opinions and new ideas and perhaps some soapboxes. People could show up and they had their ideas and their opinions and there is some division in the church. What the church needs now is some mature leaders to hear both sides of the stories, make a decision, and keep going.

Stay on mission.

Stay focused.

Instead they are arguing about their leaders.

And because division can destroy a church, Paul addresses unity for 1/4 of this letter.

This week I get to help us see how Paul shows them, and us, what leaders should look like, how we should view ourselves, and how the church should see leadership.
