If God created the world with a single word, why did He not remove sin from it with a single word? This question leads us into 1 Corinthians 1, where Paul calls the message of the cross foolishness in the eyes of the world, the Greeks sought brilliant wisdom, the Jews sought signs, yet God chose what is weak and foolish to shame the strong. The sermon shows why God calls ordinary, imperfect people, people like us. Listen and discover the power hidden in this apparent foolishness.
The God of Paradoxes: Weak and Foolish?
(Im)perfect
Sometimes we feel like we don’t belong in church because we’re not perfect. Other times, the imperfections of others-their sins and failures-make us prefer to stay away from a church that’s so far from perfect. However, 1 Corinthians shows us how, even while being imperfect ourselves, we can find our place among other imperfect people in the Church, which is both perfect and imperfect at the same time. 1 Corinthians is life itself, but life seen from the perspective of what God can do with it and how He can change it.
