Paul opens his letter to the Corinthian church by confronting their deep divisions and reminding them that the gospel—not personalities, preferences, or human wisdom—is the center of Christian identity. He contrasts the “wisdom of the world” with the wisdom of God revealed through the cross. Paul then explains that spiritual maturity comes from building on the foundation of Jesus Christ alone, not on charismatic leaders or worldly philosophies. These chapters call the church back to unity, humility, and a cross-shaped understanding of wisdom.Questions:1. Paul rebukes the Corinthians for forming factions around their favorite leaders. What are some modern ways Christians divide themselves, and how can we pursue unity instead?2. Paul describes the message of the cross as “foolishness” to the world but “the power of God” to those who believe. How does this reshape the way we evaluate success, influence, or wisdom?3. In chapter 3, Paul emphasizes that ministry work is ultimately God’s growth, even though believers plant and water. How does this perspective impact the way you view your own service or leadership in the church?Use my affiliate link to get the CSB apologetics study bible hereMy video review the CSB Apologetics Study BibleAll our links are here
