    What difference does it make whether it’s Good Friday or Easter Sunday? The difference is that Good Friday represents everything AWEFUL in life and Easter Sunday represents everything AWESOME in life.

    Tony Campolo tells a story of preaching on Easter at his church in Philadelphia. He got up to preach to his predominantly black congregation – and he was “ON”!

    The people during the time of Jesus’ crucifixion also wrote a sign and there were some people who didn’t like what it said while others saw it as a necessary statement about the man hanging on that cross. This morning we are going to share in hearing about the Sign of the Cross.

    WELCOME & INTRODUCTION WARNING LABELS We live in a world that unfortunately has an abundance of people who do things they shouldn’t.

    The Wisdom Of The Cross

    Contributed by Jonathan Mcleod on Apr 12, 2005
    based on 15 ratings
     | 8,433 views

    Paul explains in these verses how some have come to reject the world’s opinion of the cross and see in it the wisdom of God.

    These verses are a continuation of the argument Paul began in 1:18: “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.” Paul is still talking about the cross in chapter 2. This fact is essential to a proper understanding of ...read more

    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.

    While we normally focus on the pain Jesus suufered, this is an attempt to focus on the horrible shame associated with His crucifixion.

    Man is ultimately responsible for any and all of his actions. Nowhere in the Bible will you find a verse that excuses man’s sin. Rather what it does prove is that we have an all-knowing God, an omniscient God.

    Crossing the Line Scripture: Romans 3:5-6 5 But if our unrighteousness brings out God’s righteousness more clearly, what shall we say? That God is unjust in bringing his wrath on us? (I am using a human argument.) 6 Certainly not! If that were so, how could God judge the world? 7 Someone might ...read more
