1 The Message of the Cross 1 Corinthians 1:18-31

2 1. The message of the cross seems foolish to the world

3 1. The message of the cross seems foolish to the world 1 Corinthians 1:18-19 (HCSB) - 18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but it is God s power to us who are being saved.

4 1. The message of the cross seems foolish to the world 1 Corinthians 1:18-19 (HCSB) 19 For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will set aside the understanding of the experts.

5 1. The message of the cross seems foolish to the world 1 Corinthians 15:1-8 (HCSB) 1 Now brothers, I want to clarify for you the gospel I proclaimed to you; you received it and have taken your stand on it.

6 1. The message of the cross seems foolish to the world 1 Corinthians 15:1-8 (HCSB) 2 You are also saved by it, if you hold to the message I proclaimed to you unless you believed for no purpose.

7 1. The message of the cross seems foolish to the world 1 Corinthians 15:1-8 (HCSB) 3 For I passed on to you as most important what I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 that He was buried,

8 1. The message of the cross seems foolish to the world 1 Corinthians 15:1-8 (HCSB) that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve.

9 1. The message of the cross seems foolish to the world 1 Corinthians 15:1-8 (HCSB) 6 Then He appeared to over 500 brothers at one time; most of them are still alive, but some have fallen asleep.

10 1. The message of the cross seems foolish to the world 1 Corinthians 15:1-8 (HCSB) 7 Then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles. 8 Last of all, as to one abnormally born, He also appeared to me.

11 2. The message of the cross is wisdom & power from God

12 2. The message of the cross is wisdom & power from God 1 Corinthians 1:20-25 (HCSB) 20 Where is the philosopher? Where is the scholar? Where is the debater of this age? Hasn t God made the world s wisdom foolish?

13 2. The message of the cross is wisdom & power from God 1 Corinthians 1:20-25 (HCSB) 21 For since, in God s wisdom, the world did not know God through wisdom, God was pleased to save those who believe through the foolishness of the message preached.

14 2. The message of the cross is wisdom & power from God 1 Corinthians 1:20-25 (HCSB) 22 For the Jews ask for signs and the Greeks seek wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to the Jews and foolishness to the Gentiles.

15 2. The message of the cross is wisdom & power from God 1 Corinthians 1:20-25 (HCSB) 24 Yet to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is God s power and God s wisdom, 25 because God s foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, and God s weakness is stronger than human strength.

16 2. The message of the cross is wisdom & power from God Ephesians 1:19-20 (NLT) This is the same mighty power 20 that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God s right hand in the heavenly realms.

17 3. The message of the cross produces boasting in the Lord

18 3. The message of the cross produces boasting in the Lord 1 Corinthians 1:26-31 (HCSB) 26 Brothers, consider your calling: Not many are wise from a human perspective, not many powerful, not many of noble birth.

19 3. The message of the cross produces boasting in the Lord 1 Corinthians 1:26-31 (HCSB) 27 Instead, God has chosen what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen what is weak in the world to shame the strong.

20 3. The message of the cross produces boasting in the Lord 1 Corinthians 1:26-31 (HCSB) 28 God has chosen what is insignificant and despised in the world what is viewed as nothing to bring to nothing what is viewed as something, 29 so that no one can boast in His presence.

21 3. The message of the cross produces boasting in the Lord 1 Corinthians 1:26-31 (HCSB) 30 But it is from Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became Godgiven wisdom for us our righteousness, sanctification, and redemption, 31 in order that, as it is written: The one who boasts must boast in the Lord.
