THE NEED? DIVINE Identity THAT RESISTS Disunity
1 Corinthians 10.16–17 “The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread.” (esv)
THE STORY WE’RE LIVING IN …
IS Centered ON GOD

How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways! ‘For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor? Or who has given a gift to him that he might be repaid?’ For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.” (esv)
