1 Corinthians
Spiritual Wisdom in a Foolish World
Sermon series and study
Journey to ancient Corinth, a place of materialism, sexuality and conflicting religious traditions, much like us today. Come discover God’s spiritual wisdom for how to live for Christ in a foolish world.
The Corinthian Christians wanted to follow Christ, but they were caught up in their culture and struggled with hearing different voices selling their own opinions. As a result, the church was divided among different factions. What they thought was wise, ended up being foolish. They thought they were mature, but in fact they were spiritual babies. Paul wrote this letter to help them grow spiritually.
In this amazing book, we will find spiritual wisdom that overturns commonly accepted “wisdom” in our society, and even in our churches. First Corinthians reveals God’s wisdom in the cross of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ crucified incarnates the message of grace that we all need. We will see that our lives can be all about Jesus, and that will be a great life, no matter how others see us. We can have the mind of Christ by the Spirit.
Brace yourself, because Paul gets direct in dealing with the Corinthians’ issues. More than in any other letter, Paul uses sarcasm and deliberate exaggeration to shake them out of their foolish thinking (that they mistake for wisdom). We need the same today. This study will help us live mature, Christ-like lives in a corrupt culture.
Coming up in our study of 1 Corinthians is a 5 week series called Hot Potatoes. We'll talk about some hot potatoes in our culture: sex, marriage, relationships, litigation, freedom and conscience ... we need Spiritual Wisdom in a Foolish World. Hot Potatoes starts March 4. You can pick up the Hot Potatoes study guide at the kiosk or Welcome Center today and next week.
