In this episode of Another Day in His Steps, Dave opens a powerful reflection from 1 Corinthians chapter 1, where Paul pleads with the church in Corinth to return to unity, humility, and the centrality of the cross.

The Corinthian believers were rich in gifts and revelation, but something subtle had begun to divide them. Their devotion had shifted from Christ to personalities—some followed Paul, others Apollos, and still others claimed Christ as their banner of superiority. What looked like loyalty was actually pride. Paul’s heart broke over a church that was celebrating people instead of presence.

With deep pastoral insight, Dave unpacks how Paul redirected their focus: “Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized in my name?” In this, Paul was reminding them that every gift, every revelation, every leader flows from one foundation—the cross of Jesus Christ. The Gospel’s power doesn’t rest in eloquence or personality, but in the raw, redemptive strength of a crucified Savior.

Dave draws a striking parallel to our generation—an age of platforms, influence, and names. We’re often tempted to measure calling by visibility and anointing by applause. But just as in Corinth, the Spirit is calling us back to simplicity: to boast only in the Lord. The cross is where comparison dies and unity is reborn. The blood of Jesus doesn’t create camps or cliques; it creates family.

Through Scripture and real-life reflection, Dave reveals that true spiritual power flows through humility, not hype. God still chooses the foolish things to confound the wise, the weak things to shame the strong—so that no one may glory in His presence.

This episode is a call to realign our hearts with heaven—to trade competition for communion, pride for purity, and division for devotion. When the church centers itself again on the cross, confusion breaks, unity returns, and the glory belongs where it should—to Jesus alone.

If you’ve battled comparison, disappointment, or disunity, this message will re-center your soul. May it remind you that your worth was settled at Calvary and your place is secure in His body. One name. One cross. One family.
