In this message from November 1980, Pastor Jack explores the root causes of division within the church, drawing from Paul’s appeal for unity in 1 Corinthians. Pastor Jack teaches through the personalities mentioned in the text – Gaius, Stephanas, and Paul himself – to illustrate what believers share in common, the importance of mutual ministry, and the call to recognize our uniqueness without allowing it to cause separation. He confronts competitive attitudes, denominational pride, and partisan spirit, emphasizing that God has called us once to fellowship and that our differences are gifts, not grounds for superiority or division.
