DIFFERENT: Because normal isn’t working (We fight for unity!)

Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - I Corinthians 1:10-13 (1 Corinthians 1:10-13; 3:1-4; Psalms 104:19; Proverbs 13:10; 16:7; 27:17; Genesis 3:1; Ephesians 4:25-27; Mark 3:25; Matthew 5:44; 18:15)

 

"I'm done with you!" Have you ever heard these words before? They are pretty common in our world today. We have a disagreement with someone and then we unfriend them on Facebook, we stop talking to them, or we avoid them. This might be normal for the world around us, but God has a different way for us to live.

In I Corinthians, we are taught to fight for unity! We fight against division. We deal with things that push us away from each other. This might not make sense to the world, but remember, we are DIFFERENT and different works!
