There is a form of wisdom that is foolish to God, and there is a type of foolishness that is wisdom from God. As Christians, we need to know which wisdom to reject, and which to submit to, especially when it comes to the topic of salvation.
Sermon: The Foolishness of God Lesson 1: The message of the cross is: Part I: _______________ and ________ to the perishing. (1 Cor 1:18a, 1 Cor 1:23). Part 2: ____________ and __________ to those who are saved. (1 Cor 1:18b, 1 Cor 1:24). Lesson 2: It ______________ God to save people in a "______________" way. (1 Cor 1:21, 1 Cor 1:25) Family Worship Guide Memory Verse: 1 Corinthians 1:18 Day 1: Read 1 Cor 1:18-23, 3:18-19 What is the difference between worldly wisdom and godly wisdom? How do those with worldly wisdom react to the message of the cross? Why did the ancient Greeks see the cross as foolishness? Why did the Jews see the cross as weakness? Why does Paul instruct us to "become a fool" in 1 Cor 3:18? Day 2: Read 1 Cor 1:18-24 Why do those who are saved cherish the cross despite how terrible it was? How is God's wisdom displayed at the cross? How is His power displayed? Why is it that people react so differently to the gospel? Why do some believe and others reject?
Day 3: Read 1 Cor 1:21-25 What does Paul mean by "the foolishness of God" in verse 25? How has God equipped us to be used in the salvation of the people around us? Why hasn't he given us the power to work miracles to verify our message? Why should we have confidence that the simple message of the gospel is sufficient to save? We can't make people believe, but what can we do for them?
