    Contributed by Nelson Thomas on Sep 17, 2020
     | 2,984 views

    Paul knew more than anything else Corinthian’s their love for human wisdom led to division in the local church. So he explains it detail.

    1Corinthians 1: 22 : “For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom..” Paul knew well, Greeks need wisdom…that’s what they are interested in. Jews, they need a sign, miracles, and mighty things…not the message of the cross… But Paul preached…no wisdom…cf. v. 12 ‘we preach Christ ...read more

    1 of 4. Paul related the limitations/irony of worldly wisdom to the Corinthians believers. The irony of worldly wisdom is in its being relegated to foolishness. But How is worldly wisdom limited? Worldly wisdom is limited by...

    Dwight L. Moody once stated, "I have never yet known the Spirit of God to work where the Lord's people were divided." For God to bless the church, there must be unity.

    The Call to Unity 1 Corinthians 1:10-18 Recently, I read about a church that split, and that split began over an argument at a potluck supper when a lady brought a congealed salad made with Cool Whip instead of real whipping cream.

    A Wise Fool

    Far better to be thought a fool by the world and walk in God's wisdom than the other way around.

    Proposition: You must simply believe Jesus! I. Because the Gospel is simple! 17-18 A. The Cross is simple! 17 B. God’s power is simple! 18 II. Because the world is ignorant! 19-20 A. God has destroyed its wisdom! 19 B. Big names mean nothing! 20 III. Because God’s way is not ...read more

    Cross-Contamination (Part One)

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jun 1, 2020
     | 5,130 views

    When you hear cross-contamination, it's not referring to something good. But today I'd like to turn that around. Normally we would do our best to avoid cross-contamination, but when it pertains to the cross of Christ, it's best to encourage cross-contamination.

    CROSS-CONTAMINATION (part one) By definition, cross-contamination is the process by which bacteria or other microorganisms are unintentionally transferred from one substance or object to another, with harmful effect. You might typically hear this in reference to transferring bacteria between raw ...read more

    For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. - 1 Corinthians 1:18

    THE MESSAGE OF THE CROSS 1 Corinthians 1:10-18 Introduction We all have battles to fight, struggles to face, and questions that need answers - and we all have the power of God to see us through.

    Being a Christian is a calling to the hard work of shaping the metal of our lives (our character) into a form that expresses God’s masterpiece within all of us.

    Over the next few weeks, we will be looking to 1 Corinthians to come to a better understanding of what it means to call oneself a Christian. As Christians, we are called to live a very distinctive way. Being a Christian is a calling to the hard work of shaping the metal of our lives (our ...read more

    How do we deal with the Babel of people teaching in the church?

    Saying the Same Thing 1 Corinthians 1:11-18 If there is anything that plagues the church today, it is the myriad of voices spouting all sort of “Christian” teachings.

    Paul urged the Corinthian church to preserve their unity in Christ at all costs. We learn from him to work quickly through conflict, appreciate our differences, and know what unites us.
