    Real evil does exist in the world... we also break God’s commandments... Even though the world is broken, God has not repeated the Flood. The cross is our hope but remains a stumbling block, foolishness...(some quotes from "Wide Angel View by Charles Col

    The message of the cross is salvation through the power of God.

    Text: “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).

    A consideration of the power of the Cross; those for whom is is God’s power, those for whom it is folly. Shows what God did for us when Christ died on th Cross

    I want to turn this morning to look at the passage from 1 Corinthians chapter 1, which places before us the power of the Cross, and as we journey through Lent toward Holy Week it is surely fitting to do so. The Cross is central to our faith as Christians- but I ask, do we always know and appreciate ...read more

    The Cross: Where Jesus Died

    Contributed by Billy Ricks on Apr 6, 2009

     | 7,439 views

    Has the cross become too cultural. Is it more popular than powerful. The cross is where jesus died.

    Intro: Is it possible that we have become too familiar with the cross? Is it possible that it has become more popular than powerful? Is it possible that the cross is more cultural than critical to the salvation of people separated by from the life of God? The cross doesn’t seem to be as ...read more

    “foolishness of preaching” does not mean foolish preaching, the meaning here is, --to the minds of the so called intelligent thinkers, it was “foolishness” God is not calling it foolishness, He is pointing out that these great thinkers said it was foolish

    THE PREACHING OF THE CROSS 1 Corinthians 1:18-24 4-11-09 Today I want to talk for a little while about “the preaching of the cross”, about the crucifixion of Jesus there on the cross of Calvary, so I want you to pay close attention. Listen as I read today’s ...read more

    based on 24 ratings
     | 33,549 views

    The question of whether Christianity is reasonable all depends on what answer you're looking for. What answers does the world seek and what is it about the answer the cross gives that is better than what many folks want?

    Many baptized believers attempt to avoid offending the world by not standing up for the cross because they feel they'd risk too much by doing so. But we've died supposedly died to this world and its attractions. How can we do that?

    OPEN: Clarence Jordan, author of the "Cotton Patch" New Testament was getting a red-carpet tour of another preacher’s church. With pride the minister pointed to the rich, imported pews and luxurious decorations. As they stepped outside, darkness was falling, and a spotlight shone on a huge ...read more

    To Whom Shall We Go?

     | 2,252 views

    When Jesus spoke about the Bread of Life, His analogies troubled a lot of His hearers who found His teaching hard to understand (John 6:51-65) and ended up walking away from Him. In asking the disciples if they wanted to go away, Peter's response was the model of faith and assurance (vv.67-69).

    Jesus' teachings either inspired or infuriated those who heard Him. They continue to have the same effect on anyone who read His words as recorded in the Scriptures today and decides whether to surrender their lives to Him or reject His mercy and reap the eternal consequences. When He taught ...read more

    The Foolishness Of God

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Sep 22, 2022

    This seems like a strange statement to make, “The foolishness of God.” When I think of God, I think of every attribute of awe, but foolishness does not come to mind.

    This seems like a strange statement to make, “The foolishness of God.” When I think of God, I think of every attribute of awe, but foolishness does not come to mind.

    The Cross

    Contributed by Ken Mckinley on Sep 25, 2022
     | 2,746 views

    The message of the cross is a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, but to those who are being saved it is the wisdom of God. Do we have a "cross centered" view today?

    THE CROSS Text: 1 Corinthians 1:17-25, 1 Corinthians 2:1-6 OPEN WITH PRAYER AND THANKSGIVING I love studying God’s Word. I absolutely love it. I would rather study God’s Word than watch football or go to a UFC fight, which is saying a lot, because I enjoy both of those things. I would rather ...read more

     | 2,795 views

    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

    Paul had the best Jewish education available at that time; but the plain preaching of a crucified Jesus, was more powerful than all the oratory and philosophy of the heathen world. This is the essential point and substance of the gospel.
