This episode is a sermon based on Pauls opening remarks in his first letter to the church in Corinth. What we find in 1 Corinthians 1:1-9 is a stunning offering of who we are: a gifted group of persons whom God has great purposes for. The greatest threat to our effectiveness in living out our gifts is conflict, so we must find peace amongst ourselves in order to truly live out our identity as an assembly of gifted people.

Rev. Tim Barton
I'm a United Methodist Pastor who loves to teach people how to read their Bible, how to find themselves in God's Story, and how to use both of those skills to make tangible change in this world.
I graduated from Asbury Theological Seminary where I focused on Biblical Hebrew and the Pentateuch + Joshua. I believe that the Bible is one story that leads to Jesus and that all people invited to to drink from the deep well of that story, find themselves at Christ's table, and feast on his abounding love forever.
