Community, Conscience and Conflict (1 Corinthians 10:23-11:1) | Imperfect Series (K)

Imagine a community of people that all functioned with this phrase as their motto: “Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor.” Imagine how radically different that type of community would look in a world that trumpets “do what makes you happy.” Community isn’t easy, we are different people coming together with different backgrounds, different personalities, different perspectives. The only way we are ever going to be the church community that God desires us to be is by living lives that have as their goal God’s glory and our neighbours good.

• Am I following the selfless, sacrificial example of Jesus in how I live before others?  vs. 11:1
