I Corinthians 3 - Divisions in the church

- the Corinthian congregation are immature, they follows the persons, not the teachings.
- the illustration about building shows that the congregation has the same foundation, which is JC, but the building material (what's taught) can make the difference when tested by fire
- in the illustration of talents (mat 25), all people has different talent (responsibilities/role), each person is expected to use their talent, but faithfulness is what counts, not the amount of work you do.
- jealously and quarreling are signs of "division" in church
- whoever destroys God's temple (in relation with division will be destroyed) -- (16,17)
