Life In Christ Ministry with Pastor Flavio Carvalho

For two days now we have been walking through 1 Corinthians 2. We have heard Paul’s confession that he came to Corinth in weakness with a simple gospel. And we have seen him distinguish the world’s wisdom from God’s hidden wisdom — a wisdom mysterious to the powerful and reserved for the mature. Today Paul answers the great question that should be on every reader’s lips: how does this hidden wisdo...

In chapter 2 , Paul keeps going. If chapter 1 was the wisdom of the cross, chapter 2 is the source of true wisdom. And he begins with one of the most beautiful and humbling confessions in all of the New Testament: he tells the Corinthians how he came to preach to them. Not as a polished orator.

Today Paul does something remarkable. He takes that surface problem — divisions — and traces it all the way back to a deeper proble...

Let me set the scene. Corinth was one of the great cities of the ancient world. It sat on a narrow strip of land that linked mainland Greece to the Peloponnese — every ship, every caravan, every traveler passing between east and west came through Corinth. It was wealthy, multicultural, and — let us be honest about it — appetite-driven. The city’s chief deity was Aphrodite, the goddess of erotic lo...
