    Contributed by James Wallace on Feb 21, 2023
     | 2,176 views

    God doesn't work through the best and the brightest. He doesn't work through human wisdom or ability. instead, he works through a surprisingly unqualified group of people--people like you and me.

    If you're like me, a lot of you guys still have some playground memories from when you were on recess in elementary school. Do you remember how you would choose up teams for pick up baseball or basketball games. Generally, two of the "cooler dudes" on the playground would somehow ...read more

    The Church’s conflict is with the world system and we struggle in schools, politics, even in churches with humanism and wicked philosophies. The world entices through allurement and lusts. Churches battle these things not to be part of them. We consider compromise and lukewarmness as well.

(PART 10 IN THE SERIES) We continue to look at some of the matters that are of concern for the Church and its problems and its conflict in the world. [4].

    The cross is the central fact of the Gospel. But not all people are aware or accept that fact. And this has been true from the beginning. Our text in I Corinthians 1:18-25 describes the message of the cross, and two words stand out: Foolishness and Power.

    God, grant me the wisdom to know the difference … and, as we shall see, therein lies the problem. I don’t know about you, but I usually don’t know the difference and I usually do the most harm to myself and to others when I think that I do.

    [This is the third sermon on Reinhold Niebuhr's "The Serenity Prayer," asking God to grant us the wisdom to know what to accept and what to change. This was also preached on Communion Sunday, hence the lead up to Communion at the end.] Wisdom. What is wisdom? Well, let’s ...read more

    Corinth is a fascinating city in Greece that was a major center for International east-west trade. People from all over came to this prosperous place to make their fortunes. The message of a humble Jesus who died on a humiliating cross was not going to be popular.
