Salvation is beautiful!

Wordy wisdom vs spiritual wisdom

Anyone can be a new creation it does not mean we will be perfect.

“You receive from God in the measure that you believe in His power to do what you cannot do in your life.”

Paul was a life coach to the Corinthian Church. Paul always dealt with problems head on. He discussed all the things that the local Church encountered. 

I can’t… God can!

The Gospel of Jesus counteracts culture.

"It has nothing to do with our goodness but everything to do with His.”

1 Corinthians 1:13-17

13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? 14 I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, 15 lest anyone should say that I had baptized in my own name. 16 Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas. Besides, I do not know whether I baptized any other. 17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect. The New King James Version

There should be unity in the Body of Christ…not divisions. There is no difference in our Churches we are united in Jesus Christ.

Instead of “you do you”…be the you that God created you to be. 

It does not matter what others think of you. It only matters what God thinks of you. 

Philippans 2:9-11

9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. The New King James Version

The only words we will ever need to hear is “well done my good and faithful servant”!

We are fearfully and wonderfully made by the Creator of heaven and earth. 

1 Corinthians 1:18-19 and 1:26-31

18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”

26 For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. 27 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; 28 and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, 29 that no flesh should glory in His presence. 30 But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption—31 that, as it is written, “He who glories, let him glory in the Lord.”  The New King James Version

God redeemed us to share an abundant life in Him.
