In his sermon, Dean explores how pride and division challenged the early church in Corinth, but emphasizes how believers should find their true identity and unity in being called and redeemed by God rather than in their own worldly status or internal conflicts.

This sermon examines the founding of the church in Corinth as recorded in Acts 18. It encourages believers by demonstrating how God works through ordinary people and political turmoil, reaffirming the promise that the Lord is always present.
