Faith in Christ, not Faith in Man
00:00 00:00

Main idea: True Gospel preachers and listeners don’t put their faith in the methods and manner of the speaker but in Christ crucified.

  1. Affirm Christ crucified; deny human cleverness. (1 Corinthians 2:1-2)
  2. Affirm the Spirit’s power, not man’s persuasiveness. (1 Corinthians 2:3-4)
    • 1 Thessalonians 1:4-10
  3. Affirm trust in Christ crucified; deny trust in human wisdom. (1 Corinthians 2:5)
    • Colossians 2:8-9
