Church 101 | Quarrels
The church at Corinth gives us a glimpse into how the Kingdom landed and found shape in a rather typical First Century Roman city. There was nothing exceptional about the Corinthian church: just believers trying to learn how to walk out of familiar kingdoms of darkness and walk into the Kingdom of Light.

1 Corinthians 1:10-17
Message Questions:
- Have you ever been part of a church fight? What was it about? What went well in that conflict and what went poorly?
- The disciples argued (at least once) about who was the greatest. Why do we do that? What basic need or instinct is that sin trying to address?
- The name of the Lord Jesus is supposed to bring clarity to Christians in disagreement. Explain why that name should have conflict-resolving power.
- The cross of Jesus makes at least two bold statements. Identify each statement and unpack why they could be game-changers in a time of conflict.
