Can we empty the Gospel message of its power? Paul shows us in 1 Corinthians 1:18-31 that yes it is possible to do that. If we adopt the Gospel to the first principles of the culture in which we preach instead of the first principles that we find in the scriptures then we can rob it of its power. Pastor Ulysses in his exposition of this passage shows us how God uses His foolish messengers to preach what the world considers a foolish message to “save those who believe”. And this should motivate the Christian to humble themselves in the hands of a God who can use us mightily despite our foolishness.
