The Power of Christ in a Pagan World: Forces That Drive Us Apart
Why do churches split over leaders and styles rather than core biblical truths? Dr. Neufeld examines 1 Corinthians 1:11-17, where Paul addresses four factions in the Corinthian church—those following Paul, Apollos, Peter, or claiming to follow Christ alone. Through Paul's pointed questions about baptism and the cross, Dr. Neufeld reveals that confidence in human skills was dividing Corinth, when their unity should have been centered on the power of the cross, not the style of their leaders.The Power of Christ in a Pagan World: Join Dr. John Neufeld for this 20-message series as he focuses on the book of 1 Corinthians.
