Wesley Memorial Church (High Point, NC) Sermons & Podcast

One man's sin (Adam) brought death. Another man's death (Jesus Christ) brought abundant life.

Why is there death? How did Jesus' death on the cross actually defeat death? These are important questions to ponder, especially during Lent, and the good news is that Bible gives us answers.

Session 4

The cross of Christ is the most important event in all of human history. It is a stumbling block to the proud, and salvation to the humble of heart. There are many malevolent forces that seek to obfuscate the message of the cross.

1 Corinthians 1:18 tells us that "The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God."

You can't be middle of the road with the Cross of Christ. God wants you to live. Where do you stand with the message of the Cross?

Session 2

We don’t talk about the Spirit enough, and yet he is the most vital to our daily spiritual lives, for it is the Spirit who empowers these gifts in everyone for the common good, Paul says.

“Gifted hands. Gifted eyes. Gifted ears.” No hand our eyes or ears do anything. It is the brain that makes it happen. If I go brain dead, my hands fall limp. If my brain goes, so goes the sermon from my mouth.

I can look through binoculars but the binoculars do not see. They are the instrument through which I see.

That the brain works through the organs. And that if the brain is not there, or if it stops functioning, then all the organs stop functioning too.

In the same way, Christ is the Head of the Church. His Spirit works through our gifts, which is why its important to know your giftedness and act on it.

The Spirit helps us have meaning and gifts to use.
