The Message of the Cross

03/31/24 • 52 min

This morning we celebrated Resurrection Sunday and continued our series Christian Living In The Current of Culture, preaching through Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians. This sermon titled “The Message of the Cross” was preached by Pastor Thomas Terry from 1 Corinthians 1:18-2:5.

This sermon text helps us see the power in the preaching of the cross of Christ—the gospel, which Paul brought to Corinth and preached to both Jews and Greeks. Despite the fact that many in Corinth and in our own day view this message as foolishness, it is the wisdom of God which he uses to save people. God also calls people to salvation through this message who are seemingly unimpressive according to the world’s standards. This must cause us to boast only in God—never can we boast in ourselves or anything we have done.

This morning, we continued in our series Christian Living In The Current of Culture, preaching through Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians. This sermon titled “The Key To Dealing With A Divided Church” and was preached by Pastor Thomas Terry from 1 Corinthians 1:10-17.

This sermon text points us to the importance of church unity in order that the mystery of God's glory to be made known. Jesus prayed for this unity and Paul prioritized correcting disunity in the Corinthian church. This sermon considered the struggle with unity present in Corinth in two areas, divided doctrine and divided leadership. The local church must be united in doctrine that is Biblical as well as by leaders who are unified in teaching and accepting that doctrine.

God's Better Wisdom

This morning we continued in our series Christian Living In The Current of Culture, preaching through Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians. This sermon titled “God's Better Wisdom” was preached by Andrey Gorban from 1 Corinthians 2:6-16.

This sermon text teaches us the great importance of God's wisdom versus human wisdom. We must not allow ourselves to prefer human wisdom over God's wisdom because human wisdom is incomplete and always changing. God's wisdom does not change and is made effectual by the Holy Spirit to equip us for service through His scriptures to bring glory to Christ.
