Episode Synopsis

Paul addresses the divisions in the Corinthian church where members align with different leaders—Paul, Apollos, Cephas, or Christ—revealing how even gospel communities can fragment over human personalities. His emphasis on the cross as God's power and wisdom directly challenges both Jewish demand for signs and Greek pursuit of philosophical sophistication. The principle that God chooses the foolish and weak things of the world to shame the wise and strong establishes how divine methodology consistently reverses human expectations and values.
