In our continuing series on the wisdom of God, Pastor Roger explains how Paul's methodology in his ministry serves as a model for our evangelism.

Boasting can be good or bad, depending on what you are boasting in. Boasting in the Lord is a good thing, but boasting in yourself is quite the opposite. That kind of boasting is putting one’s confidence and trust in themselves. It is finding your self-worth through the recognition of your accomplishments by others. But with God’s salvation plan, God’s call, no man can boast. Listen along to learn more as Pastor Roger brings us today’s sermon.

Today, we consider our calling. A calling by God. In our passage, Paul’s point was not to embarrass or criticize the Corinthian believers. Paul’s point was to exalt the marvelous grace and wisdom of God. The whole point is to dignify us, so that God will be exalted. To magnify Himself. So, maybe being “foolish” is not such a bad thing.

The primary reason man’s wisdom is inferior to God’s is because, through their wisdom, they could not gain salvation. Man couldn’t earn it. They couldn’t achieve it. There is no way man, whether through good works or human wisdom, can reach God on his own. So the choice is simple: trust God and His foolishness, or keep up the pretense of wisdom and perish.

All are either being saved or being destroyed. To those that are perishing, the Gospel is moronic and silly. But the contrast that Paul makes in today’s passage, between the perishing and the saved, does not correspond to man’s foolishness verses man’s wisdom. It’s man’s foolishness verses God’s power. It is in the Cross that God’s promises and transforming activity become operative. Listen along to learn more as Pastor Roger brings us today’s sermon.

With art, it is believed that contrast and distinction is one of the primary characteristics that make something beautiful. And we too as humans are drawn to distinction. So, what makes God distinct? Today, Jesse Fenn brings us a message from the Apostle Paul. Teaching that faithful Christianity is seen most distinctly and most beautifully when it is proclaimed against the backdrop of a confused and chaotic world. Listen along to learn more.

Our concern for the Church, the Body of Christ, must outweigh our desire to gossip about people in the church, or even to protect our own reputation by wanting to stay anonymous. Gossip won’t solve the problem. Instead, what will ultimately end division in the church is the centrality of the Cross. Don’t worry about your own reputation. Take the focus off your self and put it on Christ. Listen along to learn more, as Pastor Roger brings us today’s sermon.

Division within the church is dangerous. It’s like having a body with an injured limb, it won’t function properly. In the same way, when there’s disunity or disagreement, the church is not one. It is broken. Instead, we must be unified internally and externally. We must do away with divisions and put the church back together the way it was meant to be, complete, as one whole functioning body.

Already, not yet. Our salvation is secure in Christ, but it is not yet fulfilled. Therefore, we should not wait around idly, but live in light of His coming. We are not to just stand on the foundation of the grace of God as those who are enriched with speech and knowledge, rather we are to stand on our tiptoes like a child looking out of the window, eagerly anticipating the return of the King. Listen along as Pastor Roger brings us today’s sermon.

Blessing and grace are interconnected. As true blessing is an act of grace. And when we focus on grace, we can truly be thankful, despite our circumstances. And why can we be thankful? Because we have everything we need. Listen along to learn more about what that means, as Pastor Roger teaches eight realities of the grace bestowed upon believers.
