Breathe Together

In life, some changes come so slowly we barely notice; others come like waves crashing into shore. The church in Corinth was experiencing the growing pains of change—new leaders, new ideas, new tensions. People were beginning to divide into camps based on who they followed: Paul, Apollos, Cephas, or Christ.


Paul steps in, not to defend one leader or another, but to redirect their focus. The work may look different from person to person, but all of it rests on one foundation: Jesus Christ. The roles of planting and watering are important, but the growth—true transformation—belongs to God.


Our church is part of that same story: different leaders, different seasons, one unchanging foundation. And just like Paul told Corinth, we are called to participate faithfully, trusting God to do what only God can do.
