Session 2 – 1 Corinthians 1:10-31
Summary: The dominant theme of at least the next several chapters, if not the whole
book, is unity.
The issue in particular the Corinthian believers faced was divisions and competition
with one another based on their associations with different Christian leaders, namely
Paul himself, Apollos, and Cephas (Peter).
The antidote to this disunity will be to focus on the core Christian message of grace
and a series of reflections on how that message works itself out in a community.
The message of the Gospel is Christ crucified, which is a stumbling block to Jews and
foolishness to the Greeks. But for those who believe, it is the power and wisdom of
God.
Stay humble by reflecting on the message of the Gospel.
Therefore there is nothing for anyone to boast about. Paul ends this section by quoting
Jeremiah 9:24,
“Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.”
Questions for Reflection/Discussion:
-What are some faulty ways that Christians divide themselves from one another?
-In what ways could you be tempted to think of yourself as better than other believers?
-How does the message of the cross eliminate any place for disunity?
