Through our childhood and growing up years we all had our favorite adults, didn’t we? Our favorite teachers, favorite coaches, favorite adult relatives, favorite athletes or musicians, maybe even favorite spiritual leaders, be they Rabbi, Priest, Pastor or Imam. Is that true for you today as an adult?
We are with the apostle Paul as he has begun writing his first of two letters to the Christians in Corinth in late 54ad. Paul is in Ephesus and word has come to him that there are some problems in Corinth among these Christians and one of the issues is division motivated by the people having different favorite spiritual leaders.
