    In discussing True Wisdom, Paul presents the case in: 1 Corinthians 2:6–16 that we can understand the things freely given by God from the Spirit of God. Therefore: (1) True Wisdom is not Humanly Discovered (1 Corinthians 2:6-9)and (2) True Wisdom is Divinely Revealed(1 Corinthians 2:10-16).

    It is impossible for a lesser creature to understand a more advanced one. How can anything understand something more complex and advanced than itself?

    Answer Three: Sound Preaching Series

    The Corinthian church was deeply divided. Two of the issues dividing it were a dispute over what kind of preacher should fill their pulpit, and which former minister had contributed the most to their church. This same problem exists today.

    To recap, a letter was written from the Corinthians to Paul and telling him about how divided their church was becoming. Paul answers that letter and we have it recorded as the book of 1 Corinthians. Paul offers them 11 answers to their division problem. The first answer was the cross. If the ...read more

    Answer Four: God's Wisdom Is Revealed Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Apr 21, 2015
     | 6,927 views

    Paul gives the Corinthian church a fourth answer to the division in the church. That answer basically is that the church should revolve around the wisdom of God that is revealed by the Holy Spirit, and nothing else.

    One of the greatest causes of division in a church is pride. Pride, arrogance, superiority, thinking too highly of oneself—no form or shape of self-centeredness has any part in God’s church. The Corinthians had an intellectual pride that was becoming deeply rooted in the church. This ...read more

    In today's lesson we are urged not to present the gospel according to the world's wisdom. Instead of relying on logic and rhetoric, we should focus our attention on the central message of the Person and Work of Jesus Christ.
