1 Corinthians 3:23

“Different…why can’t they see it’s hard to be different.” This devotion explores our identity, purpose, and strength in Christ. Be encouraged that God LOVES differences and variety, and that these are actually gifts. Stand your ground, be proud of who you’ll become, and don’t ever run or hide from who you really are.

Jesus says his disciples are in the world, but not of the world. This impacts the way we relate to the people of the world we meet. We see this with Paul in Acts 17. This 5-day plan continues our journey through the book of Acts, the Bible’s gripping sequel of Jesus at work in the life of his followers as he expands his kingdom to the ends of the earth. It’s a journey on what it means to be a Christian. It’s a story in which you have a role to play.

In this week of devotionals, we will explore some of the big ideas from the book of 1 Corinthians, written by the apostle Paul, and consider what it means to be men set apart for the sake of Christ! Written by J.R. Hudberg.

The church in Corinth struggled with division, immaturity, temptation, pride, and confusion. In the First Epistle to the Corinthians, Paul the Apostle repeatedly calls believers back to one central truth: everything in the Christian life flows from the cross and resurrection of Jesus.
