Church Undivided

1 Corinthians provides a guide for unity, service, and interaction with worldly culture. If any congregation knew about problems, it was the church in ancient Corinth. Yet, these principles are as relevant and helpful today as they were for the early church.

In this practical, challenging book, you will discover:

• How to navigate the tricky relationship between the church and our the culture
• How to answer questions about rights, preferences, and gray areas among believers
• How to protect and promote unity in the church
• Why love and truth rank higher than liberty and individualism

Each chapter concludes with thought-provoking questions and a suggested action step so you can apply these truths to your own church community, ministry, and personal walk with God.

God calls us not only into community with other believers, but unity as well. With community comes great challenges, as we are all sinners. Church Undivided details God’s vision for unity in His church and Paul's guidance to create it within our own churches.
