1 Corinthians 1:22-31 | Pastor John Miller

In this study of 1 Corinthians 1:22–31, Pastor John Miller explores the profound contrast between human philosophy and divine wisdom. While the world seeks signs and intellectual sophistication, God chooses to reveal His power through the "foolishness" of a crucified Savior. Pastor John breaks down why the Cross is a stumbling block to some and foolishness to others, yet remains the absolute power of God to those who are being saved. Discover the humbling nature of God’s calling—how He intentionally chooses the weak, the foolish, and the base things of this world to confound the wise so that no flesh can glory in His presence. In this message, you will learn: - The Two Categories of Humanity: Those who are perishing and those who are being saved. - Jews vs. Greeks: Why the religious seek signs and the intellectual seek wisdom, and how Christ fulfills both. - God’s Tool Chest: Why God uses ordinary, "ignorant" people to accomplish His extraordinary purposes. - The Fourfold Blessing: How Christ is made unto us wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. - Paul’s Preaching Method: Why keeping the message simple and focused on Christ is more powerful than eloquent oratory. 📺 WATCH THE FULL SERIES: Catch up on the entire verse-by-verse study through 1 Corinthians here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLP9sIJpVEMLL4MAr7gu8Z1UrWTrRRcU9x 🕒 Video Timestamps: 00:00 – The Problem of Division in the Church 01:46 – Preaching the Cross: Not with Wisdom of Words 03:26 – Human Wisdom vs. Divine Wisdom 05:07 – Perishing vs. Being Saved: The Two Categories 08:52 – Why Human Wisdom Cannot Save 10:47 – The Power of Believing vs. Behaving 11:45 – The Jews Require a Sign and the Greeks Seek Wisdom 13:55 – Christ Crucified: A Stumbling Block and Foolishness 17:34 – Christ: The Power and Wisdom of God 19:06 – Understanding the Nature of God’s Calling 20:20 – God’s Choice: The Foolish, Weak, and Base Things 23:12 – Five Points About Our Calling 25:56 – Unlearned and Ignorant Men: God’s Apostles 30:44 – Removing the Basis for Human Boasting 31:11 – Wisdom, Righteousness, Sanctification, and Redemption 35:31 – Paul’s Manner: Weakness, Fear, and Trembling 41:40 – Learning from Athens: Keeping the Message Simple 46:53 – Conclusion: Standing in the Power of God ⛪️ Connect with Revival Christian Fellowship We are a church located in Menifee, CA, dedicated to the expository, verse-by-verse teaching of God's Word.
