Question of the Day: What is your favorite sports team?
Read about It
Read: 1 Corinthians 1:10
Can you imagine being part of a team made up of people who don’t get along and who all think they should be the one in charge? That would make it almost impossible to get anything done, and the team would most likely go nowhere. The team would fall apart.
First Corinthians 1:10 talks about the importance of getting along with other believers. We need the Holy Spirit to teach us and help us to love one another and work together. Because we are part of God’s team, we need to be working together, supporting one another, sharing the good news about Jesus. This is the mission of the Church, and it helps the body of Christ to grow.
