SERMON NOTES

1 Corinthians 2:1
When I first came to you, dear brothers & sisters, I didn’t use lofty words and impressive wisdom to tell you God’s secret plan. (2) For I decided that while I was with you I would forget everything except Jesus Christ, the one who was crucified.

The Foolishness of The Cross

1 Corinthians 1:18
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… 22 It is foolish to the Jews, who ask for signs from heaven.  And it is foolish to the Greeks, who seek human wisdom. 23 So when we preach that Christ was crucified, the Jews are offended and the Gentiles say it’s all nonsense. 24 But to those called by God to salvation, both Jews and Gentiles, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.

APPLICATION QUESTIONS:

1. When you share your faith, how do you talk about the cross & what Christ has done in your life?
2. How does the story of Christ Crucified impact you experientially (emotionally, spiritually, even physically)?
3. How does understanding the cross impact your experience of communion?
