    No Such Thing As A Comfortable Cross

    Sometimes we like to pad the cross so that people aren’t accidental hurt by its sharp edges. Now it is okay to do this with our methods, but we must never pad the message. We must always represent the reality of the Cross of Jesus Christ is about.

    No Such Thing As A Comfortable Cross Text: 1 Cor 1:20-25 Intro: This evening I would like to bring you a message entitled “No Such Thing As A Comfortable Cross” I am taking the thoughts I am sharing from a article I read earlier this week by Victor Knowles entitled “Cutting Corners of the ...read more

    Paul compares what the Jews and Gentiles sought to what he gave them - Christ crucified. This shows us what is really important in our message and our methods of reaching out.

    March 19, 2006 1 Corinthians 1:22-25 Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks look for wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the ...read more

    After asking several people on the street what the cross meant to them, the answers were astounding, how would we as Christians answer that question? What does the Cross mean to us.

    What’s the meaning of the Cross? 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 1. To some a symbol, maybe a religious symbol (like the star of David) a reminder, a crutch, a form of punishment, where some nice Jewish boy died years ago. 2. Bible says it is foolishness to them that perish – If you’re looking for some ...read more

    Helpful encouragement to those who question should I answer His call.

    Answering His Call What does “the call” feel like and is He really calling me? Two questions rolled into one that many people ask themselves. I can share with you what the feeling of the call to teach the Bible felt like to me. Early in my Christian walk God gave me a hunger for His Word. This ...read more

    So what is this message, what is the wisdom of God that transcends mans wisdom, this is the foolishness that is preached, so that God is pleased through the foolishness of what is preached to save those who believe

    What would you have done? Allow your mind to open for a moment, drift with me and consider If you were God, think of it if you had the power to create all things as he has and the power to know all things as he does and no one could tell you what to do… Then In your wisdom oh mighty one what ...read more

    Knowledge

    The true condition of the Corinthian believers was that they were still engrossed with human, earthly wisdom. We can spend a lifetime accumulating human knowledge and still not learn how to have a personal relationship with God.

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: Knowledge is exploding at such a rate—more than 2000 pages a minute—that even Einstein couldn’t keep up. In fact, if you read 24 hours a day, from age 21 to 70, and retained all you read, you would be one and a half million years behind when you finished. How can it be, ...read more

    the apostle Paul wants us to understand that human wisdom is not the answer to the needs of the church, the cross of Christ is the answer to the needs of the church

    FOOLISH COMMUNICATION 1 CORINTHIANS 1:18-31 INTRODUCTION: As we continue our study in the book of First Corinthians, we approach a fundamental tenet of Paul’s’ writing, namely the inability to comprehend the wisdom of God through the wisdom of man.

    A comparison of God’s Human Resources policy with that of worldly employers

    Our society is obsessed and fascinated by celebrities. People who are talented at singing or acting or sport. People who look good, who are impressive, who have a ‘presence’ about them.

    God has determined to save people in a way that appears foolish to the wisdom of man: through the message of the cross.

    I’m trying to decide what picture to put on my gravestone. I was hoping you would help me decide. How about a picture of a noose to represent a hanging? How about a flame to represent a burning at the stake? How about a sword to represent a beheading? How about a stone to represent a stoning? ...read more
