In 1 Corinthians 1:10–17, the Apostle Paul confronts a serious problem developing in the church

at Corinth. Christians were dividing themselves according to their preferred leaders. Some were

saying, “I follow Paul,” others, “I follow Apollos,” and still others, “I follow Cephas.”

Paul responds with three searching questions:

“Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized in the name of Paul?”

More than two thousand years later, Paul's warning remains remarkably relevant.

There is nothing wrong with appreciating faithful pastors, teachers, and Christian leaders. But

what happens when our loyalty to a personality begins to overshadow our identity in Jesus

Christ? What happens when admiration for Christian leaders creates divisions among the very

people Christ has called to be united?

In this Bible teaching from 1 Corinthians 1:10–17, we examine Paul's appeal for Christians to be

united in mind and thought, why he refused to allow believers to build their identity around him,

and why he ultimately turned their attention away from human personalities and back to Jesus

Christ and the power of the cross.

Together, we will consider:

• Why divisions developed in the Corinthian church

• What Paul meant by “I follow Paul,” “I follow Apollos,” and “I follow Cephas”

• Why Paul asked, “Is Christ divided?”

• Why Paul discussed the people he personally baptized

• What it means to be united in mind and thought

• Why the gospel must remain centered on Christ rather than human personalities

• What this passage means for Christians and churches today

The question Paul raised in Corinth still confronts us today:
