Ever wonder why Christians can't seem to get along? In this revealing exploration of 1 Corinthians 1:10-13, we uncover the simple yet profound solution to church division that has eluded believers for 2,000 years: focus solely on Jesus.

Throughout church history, divisions have erupted when believers shifted their focus from Christ to human leaders, theological systems, or denominational distinctives. Paul confronts this tendency head-on in the Corinthian church, where believers were identifying themselves primarily as followers of Paul, Apollos, or Cephas rather than Christ. His response cuts to the heart: "Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you?" These piercing questions reveal that church division is fundamentally an identity issue.

The solution isn't complicated theological formulations or organizational restructuring—it's keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus alone. When we recognize that Jesus was sinless on the cross (offering a sacrifice of infinite value), was love personified (extending forgiveness to those who rejected Him), and conquered death (to share His resurrection life with us), we discover the true power of the gospel.

This message transforms our understanding of the Christian life. It's not about trying harder to follow rules or principles, but about yielding ourselves completely to Christ, allowing Him to live His life through us. As we give Him our heart, mind, and body, He manifests His character through us. This is the genuine power of God displayed in the world today—not Christians striving to be better, but Christ Himself living and loving through His people.

Whether you're wrestling with church hurt, struggling with religious burnout, or simply seeking authentic spiritual life, this message offers a refreshing perspective. Discover how focusing on Jesus alone can bring unity, freedom, and genuine transformation to your life and faith community.
