1 Corinthians 2:1-3:4 | Pastor John Miller

In this verse-by-verse study, Pastor John Miller explores the profound contrast between man-made philosophy and divine revelation. Addressing a divided church in Corinth, the Apostle Paul reminds believers that the power of the Gospel does not rest in eloquent speech or human intellect, but in the "foolishness" of Christ crucified. Pastor John breaks down the three categories of humanity described by Paul: the Natural Man, the Spiritual Man, and the Carnal Man. Discover how the Holy Spirit acts as the master teacher, providing revelation, inspiration, and illumination to those who are maturing in their faith. In this message, you will learn: - Paul’s Preaching Method: Why he determined to know nothing except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. - The Unique Nature of Divine Wisdom: Why the "princes of this world" failed to recognize the Lord of Glory. - The Work of the Holy Spirit: Understanding the vital doctrines of Revelation, Inspiration, and Illumination. - Three Kinds of People: How the Natural, Spiritual, and Carnal man each respond to God’s Word. - The Danger of Carnality: Why divisions and "personality cults" are evidence of spiritual infancy. 📺 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 – Review: Paul’s Method, Message, and Manner 04:20 – The Uniqueness of Divine Wisdom (2:6-9) 07:02 – Defining "Perfect" as Spiritual Maturity 10:57 – The Mystery: Truth Hidden, Now Revealed 15:52 – Jesus Christ: The Lord of Glory 17:48 – Misinterpreting Verse 9: Is it about Heaven? 23:02 – Divine Wisdom Revealed by the Spirit (2:10-13) 25:40 – The Doctrine of Revelation 31:11 – The Doctrine of Illumination 32:59 – The Doctrine of Verbal Plenary Inspiration 36:13 – Responses to Divine Wisdom (2:14-3:4) 38:51 – The Natural Man: The Unregenerate Mind 41:26 – The Spiritual Man: The Mature Mind of Christ 42:42 – The Carnal Man: Babes in Christ and Fleshly Traits 50:30 – Sanctification: A Lifelong Process 53:51 – Conclusion: Getting Our Eyes Back on Jesus ⛪️ 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.
