How to Deal with Division in the Church (2 of 3)
Series: The Church at Corinth

1 Corinthians 1:10-17
A burglar got into a house one night. Shining his flashlight on the floor in the dark, he heard a voice saying, ‘‘Jesus is watching you.’’
He looked around nervously, shook his head, and kept looking for valuables. He again heard, ‘‘Jesus is watching you.’’
This time, he shone his light all over, and it rested on a parrot.
He asked, ‘‘Did you say that?’’
The parrot admitted that it had. ‘‘I’m just trying to warn you, that’s all.’’
The burglar said, ‘‘Warn me, huh? Who are you? What’s your name?’’
’’Moses.’’
’’Well, what kind of stupid people would name a parrot ‘Moses’?’’
The bird answered, ‘‘I don’t know; I guess the same folks who would name a Rottweiler ‘Jesus’.’’

Believers share a unity that runs even deeper than that of blood brothers and sisters. -Life Application Bible Notes Pual starts out here by acknowledging Jesus as the Lord Jesus Christ! Just as we studied Wednesday Night in the series on the travels of Paul the Apostle, we see here that He met Jesus on the road to Damascus, and he was never the same! Jesus appeared to Paul in a ...
