2 Corinthians 1:18-31

Sermon Topics

  1. Was Paul Crucified for You? (Vs. 18-25)
    • God’s wisdom is revealed primarily in the cross of Jesus Christ, but not everybody sees this.
    • Different Views of the Cross
      • Some Stumble at the Cross (Vs. 23)
        • Rather than a testimony of weakness, the cross is a tremendous instrument of power.
      • Some Laugh at the Cross (Vs. 23)
      • Some Believe the Power and Wisdom of the Cross (Vs. 24)
        • Not the Christ of the manger, or the temple, or the marketplace, but the Christ of the Cross.
  2. The Call to Glory (Vs. 1:26-31)
    • Paul Reminded Them of What They Were (Vs. 26)
      • God called them, not because of what they were, but in spite of their worth.
    • Paul Reminded Them of Why God Called Them (Vs. 27-29)
      • God’s “Foolishness” confounds the wise; God’s “Weakness” confounds the mighty.
    • Paul Reminded Them of What They Had in Jesus (Vs. 29-31)
      • The spiritual blessings that we need are not abstractions that elude our grasp; they are all in a Person, Jesus Christ.
