Wisdom Revealed | 1 Corinthians 2:14-3:9

October 11th, 2026

Pastor Chad McDonald

Paul has established two very foundational truths in 1 Corinthians 1-2. First, you do not become a Christian because you have a high IQ, a great intellect, brilliant oratory skills or because of your moral excellence. You are a Christian because God, through the power of the Holy Spirit, opened your eyes to the beauty of the message of the cross of Christ. Earthly human wisdom did not lead you to salvation. Second, we do, however, have wisdom. We have a divine wisdom, not from men, but revealed by God through the Spirit in God’s Word so that we might know the unknowable things of God.

The question then becomes, “Who can understand these things?” As we preach the divine things of God through the Word and the power of the Holy Spirit, who understands? What makes the difference between the person who hears the Word of God and is bored out of their mind and another person who hears the same truth and can’t get enough? The same divine and eternal truth is precious to one and boring to another. What makes the difference?

I pray that you will make plans to join us this weekend as we walk through 1 Corinthians 2:14-3:9. These are important truths that we must grasp as we seek to know God in His Word and share His Word with a lost world.
