A Call to Glorify God Together (1) - 1 Corinthians

Part 1 of this sermon centers on the urgent call to biblical unity within the local church, grounded in the authority and character of Jesus Christ, as emphasized in 1 Corinthians 1:10. It argues that true unity is not a mere social harmony but a spiritual oneness rooted in shared faith, doctrine, and submission to Christ as Lord, Savior, and Messiah, which is essential for the church's witness and glorification of God. Pastor Friesen warns against carnal divisions driven by pride and self-glory, distinguishing them from necessary doctrinal divisions that uphold truth, and stresses that the local church—bound by Scripture, shared convictions, and accountability—is the only viable context for such unity. He underscores that this unity is not optional but vital for spiritual effectiveness, protection from corruption, and the preservation of a legacy that endures beyond the present generation, calling believers to repent of gossip, contention, and pride, and to embrace Christ-centered oneness in mind, speech, and purpose.
