Seeing Ourselves as the Body of Christ

The Corinthian church had some serious issues that were affecting their unity, purity and effectiveness as a community of believers. As Paul addresses these issues, he paints a picture of church life which can help us move beyond our selfishness, independence and competitiveness to a new and much greater experience. Our differences are designed so that we may complete one another, not compete with one another. This only happens when we choose to live in love instead of selfishness.
