This week, Josh looked at 1 Corinthians 2:1-5 and explored insights and challenges for the church today. From identifying false teaching to avoiding the traps that members of a church can get caught it, this sermon hits on topics that all believers face.

On this episode, Josh and Shaina sit down to discuss questions from the weekend's sermon. From humility to spiritual stagnation and everything in between, you don't want to miss this conversation.

Remember who you were, so that you don't become arrogant in who God has made you to be. This week, Shaina looks to 1 Corinthians 1:26-31 to discover why Paul encouraged the Corinthian church to "remember your calling" and how this impacts us today.

Continuing in our study of 1 Corinthians, during this episode, Josh answers questions related to the sermon based on 1 Corinthians 1:20-25.

Below is a breakdown of where each question falls in the episode so you can listen to exactly what you're looking for (or the entire episode)!

3:54- Can you suggest ways we can share Jesus with those who are more analytical or "need proof" - especially if that's not how I'm wired?

11:33- How would you say one grows in discernment within faith? Many differing opinions throughout "Christian" Speakers or Preachers within the Christianity sphere.

15:51- Maybe I'm going too deep here...but how can we believe in the word of God if it's in fact written by "The Foolish? Does that make sense?

21:03- If we leave it to God for informing people of his gospel, wouldn't that contradict us being disciples and spreading the word?

27:04- Regarding what we can know, what are the close handed theological topics that would be considered unwavering.

37:25- How can we trust that the entirety of the scriptures are infallible if they were written by people who were "infatuated with power", people who had agendas?

43:57- What does Agnostic mean?

48:02- By 'contain' do you mean embody it ourselves? Or fully understand? Or know how to apply it in all situations? Or...something else?

51:51- But what is "our" calling in response to those who have not heard the gospel? How are we (followers of Christ) daily life & large scale!?

54:52- What are some ways Jesus demonstrated God's wisdom in the gospels?

This week, Josh preached on 1 Corinthians 1:20-25, where Paul asks a series of rhetorical questions that point to the audience to whom he was writing. This sermon looks at those questions, what they represent and how we can live according to what this passage teaches.

1 Corinthians 1:17-19 highlights Paul's concern that the Cross would lose its power if the Corinthian church continued to focus on eloquent wisdom as opposed to sound doctrine. In this podcast, Josh answers your questions about the Cross, suffering and "showy" church events.

In 1 Corinthians 1:17-19, Paul is concerned that the Cross would be emptied of its power. What does this mean exactly? Josh did a deep dive into these verses to help us see the Cross not just as a symbol or a decoration, but to see it in its entirety with all that it represents.

Politics, crosses, and church hurt- oh my! You don’t want to miss this week’s episode of the My Messy Church Podcast.

This week, Josh preached on the concept of division in the church from 1 Corinthians 1:10-17. One of the primary points was that we need to reduce our view of self and increase our desire to serve the body of believers.
