Paul's answer to the divisive factions in Corinth is a call to unity: one body, centered on one Lord, sharing one baptism. Paul asks them to consider three profound questions (1 Cor 1:13): Can Christ be divided? Who was crucified for you? Into whose name were you baptized?Experience a call to dive deeper into your baptism. The more we die to ourselves, the clearer stands the cross before our eyes, and the greater our hunger for brotherhood rooted in the finished work of Christ. If we have become wrapped up in our own devices that hide the light of glory, let baptism be our undoing.The sermon today is titled "One Baptism: Sharing A Common Bond."

Could Jesus live in Corinth? In our opening lesson exploring First Corinthians, we are going to put on a set of lenses to see the church and the world anew. These 7 lenses show how a Christian can navigate their way in a dark world and yet see others (and themselves) in the light of hope. Yes, Jesus could live in Corinth. The pressing question then is whether Corinth will see Jesus in us.The sermon today is titled "7 Lenses For Christians In Corinth."

Little did I know he would wind up doing a video series covering the same material at the same time (until his untimely death).·       Michael Williams, How To Read The Bible Through The Jesus Lens, served as the first and most basic resource. I used his key texts and hook questions, and often found his short summary of the books to be inspirational.I'd love to connect with you!Watch sermons and find transcripts at nathanguy.com.Follow along each Sunday through YouTube livestream and find a study guide and even kids notes on the sermon notes page.Follow me @nathanpguy (facebook/instagram/twitter)Subscribe to my email newsletter on substack.
