God Wants Us to Be On the Same Page

1Corinthians 1: 1 – 17

Build a passionate case for who you think is the best public speaker in America today.

Describe the relationship between Paul and this church based simply on what you see here in this beginning of the letter. Why do you think he is so intimately connected with this group of disciples? What can we do to build deeper ministry relationships in our lives?

What are the positive things about the church that Paul lists off in this section of greeting and celebration? Why would he start by detailing the healthy attributes of this congregation? What does his list of positive characteristics show us about what the Apostle values in churches? Why does he value these particular things? How can we as a context group better mirror some of these attributes in our community?

What are the details of the primary problematic situation in the church that causes the Apostle to write this letter? Why in the world is this such an enormous concern to him? What are some ways that we act like this as Christians today? What can you do to promote Christian unity in our church this week?

What are some things that you discover about Jesus in this passage?
