The Message of the Cross: God's Wisdom and Resurrection Power
On this Easter Sunday, we continued our journey to be determined like Paul to know nothing except Christ and him crucified.
In Rome the cross was used as punishment to control people, but how would God use the cross to save people?
For Christians, the message of the cross reveals God’s plan of redemption for those who believe through his death on the cross and resurrection life. It's God’s wisdom and power revealed.
In this message wrapping up our series "Christ Crucified," Pastor Matt talks about three ways the message of the cross reveals the power of God to save. -
Christ Crucified: God's Revealed Wisdom Conquers Our Self-Deception
Stop deceiving yourself.
That might sound a bit harsh, but that's the warning Paul shares in 1 Corinthians 3: 1-23.
We can think we aren't controlled by our sinful nature when in reality, we are. And we can think we have wisdom because we are basing it on the world's standards. That's self-deception.
Humans will strive to gain wisdom of this world. That's human wisdom gained by human effort. We know scripture says that's foolishness.
Paul had evidence to show how people were still being controlled by their sinful nature and self-deception. This week, Pastor Matt guides us through that evidence with four questions we can use to examine ourselves to avoid deception.
Ultimately, God's wisdom is revealed, not gained.
