Message: “Episode 147 – The Wisdom of the Cross” from Thomas Milburn

Jay and Thomas discusses the significance of the cross as the pivotal point for all of humanity and that opinions about it shape our relationship with God. The cross may seem foolish or moronic to the world, but for believers, it embodies the power of God and the essence of salvation. In 1 Corinthians Paul emphasizes that God deliberately chose what the world deemed weak and foolish to challenge human wisdom and self-reliance, ultimately leading to humility before God. True strength lies in embracing the cross and turning toward God, rather than clinging to personal achievements or societal standings. 00:00 - Welcome 03:43 - Getting In To Fist Corinthians 05:05 - The Cross is the Crossroads of All Humanity 09:44 - Americans Don't Understand The Cross 13:52 - Jesus on the Road to Life 16:27 - Why Does God Use the Cross to Destroy Human Wisdom? 20:35 - What Gets In the Way of the Cross? 23:49 - The Beatitudes of First Corinthians 29:04 - A Vision for the Good Life 29:44 - Conclusion You can find more episodes of The Weekly at calvarybible.com/theweekly.
