The Church of Southern California | 1 Corinthians 1:10-31 | Pastor Rick Brown

Let's dive into 1 Corinthians 1:10-31 with Rick. Don't miss this
opportunity to listen in, friends. I know you'll be encouraged!
This teaching is from our series Anchored in God’s Word: A Study
with Rick Brown from Godspeak Church in Thousand Oaks, California.
In this message, you'll discover three remarkable insights – 1.
God’s Mess – 1 Corinthians 1:10-17 10 Now I plead with you,
brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak
the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that
you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same
judgment. 11 For it has been declared to me concerning you, my
brethren, by those of Chloe’s household, that there are contentions
among you. 12 Now I say this, that each of you says, “I am of
Paul,” or “I am of Apollos,” or “I am of Cephas,” or “I am of
Christ.” 13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were
you baptized in the name of Paul? 14 I thank God that I baptized
none of you except Crispus and Gaius, 15 lest anyone should say
that I had baptized in my own name. 16 Yes, I also baptized the
household of Stephanas. Besides, I do not know whether I baptized
any other. 17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach
the gospel, not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ
should be made of no effect. 2. God’s Method – 1 Corinthians
1:18-25 18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who
are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of
God. 19 For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.” 20 Where is
the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age?
Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For since, in
the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it
pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save
those who believe. 22 For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek
after wisdom; 23 but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a
stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness, 24 but to those who
are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the
wisdom of God. 25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men,
and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 3. God’s Minister – 1
Corinthians 1:26-31 26 For you see your calling, brethren, that not
many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble,
are called. 27 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world
to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the
world to put to shame the things which are mighty; 28 and the base
things of the world and the things which are despised God has
chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the
things that are, 29 that no flesh should glory in His presence. 30
But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from
God and righteousness and sanctification and redemption 31 that, as
it is written, “He who glories, let him glory in the Lord.” Respond
today. We hope you enjoyed this message. Thanks for joining guys!
