Daily Devotions: How We Are Commanded to Live in the Church - August 03, 2025

1 Corinthians 1:5 (NLT) "Through him, God has enriched your church in every way—with all of your eloquent words and all of your knowledge."

1 Corinthians 10–12 (NLT) "I appeal to you, dear brothers and sisters, by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, to live in harmony with each other. Let there be no divisions in the church. Rather, be of one mind, united in thought and purpose. For some members of Chloe’s household have told me about your quarrels, my dear brothers and sisters. Some of you are saying, “I am a follower of Paul.” Others are saying, “I follow Apollos,” or “I follow Peter,” or “I follow only Christ.”

In today’s Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall gives us a reminder: God has enriched your church—not just you as an individual.

Paul’s words to the Corinthians challenge the growing trend of spiritual individualism. The local church is God’s plan, and it matters. But when people start saying, “I follow this pastor” or “I only follow Christ,” it creates division instead of unity. Paul pleads with the church to stop following personalities and start living in harmony—with one mind, one thought, and one purpose.

This kind of unity isn’t just possible—it’s what God desires for every local church today.

Watch now and let your heart be aligned to God’s design for the church: unified, enriched, and walking in purpose.
