This message centers on 1 Corinthians 1:18-31, where Paul addresses a fundamental division that still runs through our world today: the division created by the cross itself. On one side stand those who rely on human wisdom, credentials, and self-sufficiency. On the other side stand those who embrace what the world calls foolishness—the message of Christ crucified. The beauty of this passage is how it completely dismantles our human pride and exposes the limits of our own understanding. We live in an age drowning in voices claiming expertise, where everyone seems to have the answers, yet Paul reminds us that true wisdom comes only from God. The cross doesn't need our defense; it redefines reality itself. What appears weak to the world is actually stronger than anything humanity can produce. This message challenges us to examine where we're truly seeking answers—in our own logic and assumptions, or in God's revelation. It invites us to release the exhausting pressure of trying to prove ourselves and instead receive the gifts of wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption that come only through Christ. When we stop boasting in our own achievements and start boasting in the Lord, we discover the freedom that comes from recognizing that everything we need is supplied in Jesus.
