One of Africa’s most incredible animals is the Cape Buffalo. One interesting fact about the Cape Buffalo is how they protect one another when danger threatens the herd. The Cape Buffalo will come together to form one large circle. They place the calves and weaker members of the herd inside the circle, and the other members of the herd face outward to fight off whatever predator is coming their way. It’s a great picture of working together to save lives! 
 
When Paul heard about the arguing and fighting between the believers in Corinth, he wrote a letter to give them instructions and encouragement to live as followers of Jesus. Paul urged the people to live as people who were forgiven and accepted in Christ. Paul reminded them that their hope in Jesus should unite and not divide. 
 
As believers live and work together in unity, the people around them can see what it means to worship and follow Jesus. Much like the Cape Buffalo coming together in the circle, all believers can work together to share message of Jesus—and that is the message that truly saves lives! 
 
Paul told the believers in the Corinthian church to come together because of the gospel. He reminded them that Jesus saves sinners. Because of Jesus and what He has done, believers from every nation, tribe, people, and language can humbly come together as one body—the church.  

For Fun
Choose two family members and loosely tie one’s left arm to the other’s right arm. Have them attempt to perform common tasks like making a sandwich, folding clothes, or washing the dog. Talk with kids about the difficulty to accomplish a task unless you work together. All believers should work together to share the good news about Jesus!

To Serve
Write encouraging cards to members of your church. Thank them for specific ways they serve or share with the other members of the body. Before delivering the cards, ask the Holy Spirit to help the people of your church work together to tell others about Jesus.
