Why the World Thinks Christianity is Foolish (1 Corinthians: part 3)
1 Corinthians: Part 3
1 Corinthians 1:18-31
In this powerful sermon, we explore one of the most challenging passages in Paul's letter to the Corinthians—why the message of the cross appears foolish to those who are perishing, but represents the very power and wisdom of God to those being saved.
The world has never been more advanced than it is today. We've mastered medicine, technology, communication, and even artificial intelligence. Yet with all our wisdom and achievement, we still haven't solved humanity's biggest problems: immorality, war, poverty, depression, and sin. Why? Because human wisdom, no matter how impressive, cannot compare to God's wisdom.
