Christ disarmed the Kings/Kingdoms of this world putting such things to shame. David's Kingdom was cut down to a stump so that the Kingdom of Christ which is unseen can have all the glory. Now your eyes should be fixed upon the unseen things and spiritual growth. Your pastor should not make a practice of leaving the word, especially if it motivates us to embrace the rivalries, divisions, and factions that are defined as opposing the spirit.
(1 Corinthians 4:6)
Brothers, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us not to go beyond what is written.
"The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, and debauchery; idolatry and sorcery; hatred, discord, jealousy, and rage; RIVALRIES, DIVISIONS, FACTIONS, and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God."
